Design buildings for data. Not for blind spots.
Bad utility data decisions during development become expensive operational problems later. iqbi ensures new buildings deliver clean data from day one.
What happens when data readiness is an afterthought.
These aren't edge cases. Most new developments in Europe are delivered with state-of-the-art energy systems — but without the data infrastructure to monitor or report on them.
No digital meter access
Meters installed but can't be read remotely. No API, no P1 port — forcing manual readings from day one.
Missing submeters
Single main meter, no unit-level metering. Fair billing impossible. Granular visibility doesn't exist.
Expensive retrofits
Owner discovers data gaps after handover. Retrofitting hardware costs 5–10× more than getting it right during construction.
Delayed ESG compliance
First year of operation produces no usable utility data. Reporting timelines slip. Estimates fill the gap.
We define the utility data strategy your building needs.
iqbi reviews building plans and technical specs through the lens of long-term data collection. We don't redesign the building — we make sure the data infrastructure is right.
- Metering strategy: which meters, where, and at what granularity — aligned with reporting and billing requirements
- Digital access review: ensuring every meter has a digital output for automated retrieval
- BMS data export configuration: what data the BMS should expose and in what format
- Handover checklist: structured assessment confirming all utility data infrastructure is in place and tested
Get it right once. Benefit for the lifetime of the asset.
Day-one data availability
Utility data flowing into the platform from the moment operations begin. No gaps, no workarounds.
No costly retrofits
Getting it right during construction costs a fraction of fixing it later.
Smoother portfolio onboarding
Data-ready buildings integrate into the platform in days, not months.
Immediate visibility
Benchmarking, anomaly detection, and operational optimisation from day one.
