Nexer Insight, a Microsoft Azure, Internet of Things and Advanced Analytics partner, is launching a new collaboration with smart building digital twin company SmartViz to boost building performance and user experience.
Today, Nexer is announcing its strategic collaboration with smart building digital twin company SmartViz. Nexer's consulting and systems integration capabilities, combined with the SmartViz SaaS platform, enable building operators to transform their user experience while significantly cutting carbon emissions.
Transforming the built environment
The built environment is where we live and work. It's our homes, offices, green areas, entertainment and leisure spaces, and the infrastructure around us. However, it also contributes to 40% of global carbon emissions, over 30% of international final energy use and consumes nearly half of the world's natural resources. To address the climate crisis and the move to Net Zero, we must make better and more efficient use of the buildings we already have and those we will build in the future.
Introducing SmartViz
SmartViz is a SaaS digital twin platform helping building owners and managers optimise their space to create a more productive and energy-efficient building for all by combining accurate data analytics, predictive 'day in the life' simulations and scenario planning.
SmartViz combines property information with data from smart sensors, BMS platforms, FM systems, IoT sensors, room & desk booking, smart meters, environment controls, and occupant interactions into a single source of truth. It presents actionable insights using advanced 2D/3D visualisations and KPI overlays for the entire portfolio of a building, right down to an individual floor and space as a digital twin. The solution also includes a unique human behaviour simulation engine allowing operators to test "what if" scenarios and optimise their buildings for space utilisation, energy efficiency, and productivity and wellbeing of its users.
How Nexer helps
For building operators who want to get up and running fast, the Nexer service offers include:
1. Discovery & deployment planning
2. Existing building systems and data integration
3. Building operator dashboards design and build
These services will help the building operators explore the benefits of the SmartViz platform, how they can rapidly get their buildings operational, and build what they need to deploy at scale across their entire estates.
To accelerate its go-to-market, SmartViz partnered with professional services company Nexer to help plan solution deployment, integrate existing systems, develop custom dashboards for key stakeholders, or even display them on screens within the building.
Nexer, as a specialist in Digital Transformation, is well placed to provide these services. Its international coverage can help Smartviz reach overseas markets such as Nordics, US and Brazil.
