One API for every box on the BMS riser
Every guest WiFi connection is a data point. Across every venue, every hardware vendor, normalized into a single queryable format that your AI agents understand.
The challenges
Three BMS vendors. Three integration projects.
Distech on one floor, Schneider on another, Honeywell on the roof. Every analytics workflow becomes a custom integration project that ships in 6 months and breaks every quarter.
Occupancy is guessed, not measured
HVAC runs on a schedule from 1998. Empty floors burn energy while occupied floors get hot. Density + camera + WiFi all see occupancy — but none of them talk to the BMS.
Energy budgets without telemetry
Quarterly utility bills are the only feedback loop. You can't tune setpoints against real load if you can't correlate setpoint with occupancy with outdoor weather in one query.
How GuestNetworks solves it
BMS-vendor-agnostic ingest
BACnet, Modbus, and cloud APIs from Distech, Schneider, Honeywell, ButterflyMX — all normalized to one canonical event. Write one rule, run it across every vendor.
Occupancy-driven setpoints
Pipe Density, VergeSense, or WiFi presence into your existing HVAC rule engine. Empty floor at 6pm? Setback automatically. Crowded conference room? Pre-cool from the calendar.
Energy + occupancy + weather, one query
Outdoor wind, indoor CO₂, AHU damper position, and floor occupancy — all in the same time-series store. Build dashboards your facilities team will actually use.
ROI Calculator
A 200,000 sqft Class-A office with ~3,000 daily occupants spends roughly $9/sqft/yr on HVAC. Occupancy-driven setpoints typically recover 15–25% of that spend. At 20% on 200K sqft that is $360K in direct energy savings annually. Add avoided demand charges, deferred equipment replacement, and tenant satisfaction premiums and total annual uplift reaches $1.5–2.4M — industry average modeled at $1.8M. Payback on sensor + connector setup is typically under one quarter.
Key metrics you will track
Popular connectors for smart buildings
A Class-A office cut HVAC energy 20% with occupancy-driven setpoints
200,000 sqft, 12 floors, 3,000 daily occupants
Connected Distech BACnet, Density, and rooftop weather into a single dashboard. Three rules — occupancy-driven setback, CO₂-driven OA reset, and weather-driven economizer — recovered 20% of HVAC kWh in the first quarter.
“We were running three dashboards and reconciling them in a spreadsheet. Now the BMS reacts to occupancy before facilities even gets the alert.”
