The signal
Meter data shows sustained electricity demand after the building closes.
BAAP · building monitoring and AI
Understand your building. Spot waste and diagnose problems sooner.
BAAP connects utility readings, equipment data and alarms with technical documentation. It helps building managers and technical teams identify what needs attention and what to check next.
Building As A Person — a building that can explain what is happening to it.
What is BAAP?
Monitoring that helps explain the problem.
A building analysis system for the people responsible for utilities, equipment and technical operations.
BAAP stands for Building As A Person. Meter and equipment readings are its senses; operating history and documentation are its memory. Together, they help the building explain what has changed and where it needs attention.
AI analysis helps connect readings with alarms and technical context. The team receives a description of the situation, possible causes and guidance for further investigation.
Three questions you need answered.
- What has changed in the building?
- Which issue needs attention first?
- What should we check or hand over to service?
Illustrative example
The building is empty, but energy use stays high.
Here is how an unusual reading can lead to a specific task for the technical team.
A possible cause
Comparing readings with the ventilation schedule points to equipment running outside occupied hours. This is a hypothesis to investigate.
The next step
The team checks schedules and settings. The issue description and readings support a corrective task, while subsequent data helps assess the result.
What does BAAP do?
Connect data. Explain deviations. Set priorities.
From a measurement to information an operator or service technician can use.
Shows how the building operates
Brings utility use, equipment status and alarms together. Helps reveal changes that are difficult to spot in separate systems.
Helps find the cause
Connects deviations with operating history, weather, schedules and documentation. Suggests where to begin the investigation.
Organizes the next steps
Groups related signals, helps assess urgency and prepares an issue description for the team or service partner.
Less noise. More time for the right actions.
BAAP helps teams move from reviewing readings to resolving problems.
Less
Manual alarm review
Related signals and their context help focus attention on issues that need a response.
Faster
From symptom to possible cause
Operating history and documentation provide a starting point before the team searches across multiple tools.
Earlier
Visibility into unnecessary consumption
Unusual water, electricity and gas readings show where to investigate potential waste.
Better
Prepared service requests
A description of the situation, related readings and history help hand over the issue with fuller context.
Use cases
Problems you recognize from daily operations.
Consumption that should not be there
Overnight energy demand, continuous water flow or equipment running while the building is unoccupied.
Several alarms, one cause
Related signals from multiple devices that need to be examined together to decide what requires intervention.
A service request without the full picture
Symptoms visible to the operator, but missing the readings, history and technical documentation the service team needs.
Who is it for?
For the people responsible for keeping buildings working.
Owners and building managers
Visibility into waste, issues and priorities across a single property or a building portfolio.
Technical teams
Support for daily alarm reviews and investigating unusual equipment behavior.
Maintenance managers
Context for planning work and deciding which issues need a prompt response.
Service partners
Structured issue descriptions with the data needed to begin diagnosis.
Integrations
Start with the systems and data you already have.
BAAP can use readings from meters, sensors, a building management system (BMS) and equipment. It connects them with alarm history, weather and documentation.
We agree the integration scope for each site, checking data availability, quality and what can be read from existing systems.
Data sources that explain the building together.
- water, electricity and gas meters
- heat pumps, ventilation, photovoltaics and energy storage
- BMS, alarms and operating schedules
- weather, logs and technical documentation
A pilot on your data
Find out where BAAP can help at your site.
We select a specific problem and agree the data scope, pilot duration and evaluation criteria before starting.
Establish the starting point
Review available readings, alarms and documentation. Define the questions the analysis should answer.
Analyze the selected area
Look for deviations, potential waste and gaps in the data. Discuss the findings with the team that knows the site.
Deliver findings and priorities
You receive a summary of observations, issues to investigate and proposed next steps. Use it to decide how to proceed with deployment.
FAQ
What should you know before our first conversation?
Does BAAP replace the BMS?
BAAP uses data from existing systems and adds analysis and context. We agree the scope of BMS and other integrations during the site review.
What data do we need to start?
We begin with available utility readings, alarms or data from selected equipment. Operating history, schedules and documentation help explain the changes we find.
Does BAAP control equipment automatically?
Monitoring and analysis support the team’s decisions. Control capabilities depend on the equipment, integrations and agreed operating rules. We agree the scope of automation separately before deployment.
How will we evaluate the benefits?
Before the pilot, we agree what to assess: for example, identified waste, diagnosis time or the usefulness of service descriptions. Findings are based on data from your site.
What do I receive after the pilot?
A summary of the situations analyzed, priorities for further investigation and proposed next steps. We also identify gaps in the data that limit the analysis.
Who is behind BAAP?
BAAP Telemetry brings together expertise in building data, automation and AI analysis. We develop Building As A Person to support the everyday work of building managers, operators and service teams.
