Most building issues don't happen overnight. They start small — a zone that's a little too warm, a fan that's not responding the way it should. Every night, our system runs automated tests on your equipment and uses the results to generate its own alarms. We're not just reading what the BMS reports. We're actively proving your equipment works — and flagging it when it doesn't.
Most facility managers find out about HVAC problems one of two ways — a complaint from staff, or an emergency repair call. Both are avoidable.
By the time someone complains about a hot room or a strange noise, the problem has usually been building for days or weeks. Catching it early is almost always cheaper than fixing it after the fact.
After-hours service calls, rush parts orders, and emergency contractor rates can cost three to five times more than a scheduled repair. Most of those emergencies are preventable with consistent monitoring.
When a piece of equipment fails, do you know its history? How long the alarm had been active? What was tried before? Without records, every service call starts from scratch and that costs time and money.
Nobody has time to manually check every piece of HVAC equipment every day. Our system does that work automatically — every night — so your team can focus on what actually needs attention.
You don't need to be an HVAC expert to benefit from this. Here's what happens behind the scenes.
We set up a secure connection to your building's control system — the brain that runs your HVAC equipment. This is a one-time setup completed by our team during a scheduled visit. No outside contractor or service provider needed.
Each night after hours, our system runs automated tests directly on your equipment — commanding each unit through its paces and recording how it responds. The data pulled from those tests is what drives the alarms. If a unit fails a test or responds outside of normal range, an alarm is generated. We review and categorize everything so it's ready for you the next morning.
Log in and you'll find a clear dashboard showing what's happening right now, what alarms are active, how your equipment is performing, and what your monitoring team has flagged. No HVAC degree required.
Here's exactly what you're looking at when you log in — and why each piece matters.
The first thing you see when you open the dashboard is a clear summary of where things stand right now. Four numbers tell you almost everything you need to know at a glance.
Active Alarms is the most important one. It tells you how many alarm conditions your building currently has open. Below that, you can see exactly which category they fall into — communication faults, rooftop unit issues, room temperature problems, heating faults, airflow issues, or exhaust fan faults.
A list of alarms on its own isn't that useful. What matters is knowing which ones are new, which ones your team is already watching, and which ones need someone to take action.
The Alarm Review page shows every active alarm for the current week. Each one has a status — New, Monitoring, Action Required, or Reviewed. Your monitoring team updates these as alarms are investigated, and you can filter and sort to find exactly what you need.
Think of it as a living to-do list for your building's health. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Just because a piece of equipment is running doesn't mean it's running well. A rooftop unit might be on but producing warmer air than it should. A VAV box might be heating a zone that's already too warm. These aren't always alarms — but they're red flags.
The Equipment Review shows you the results of those nightly tests — the actual data recorded while each unit was being exercised. Supply air temperatures, space conditions, whether heating or cooling responded correctly, and whether airflow was within normal range. This isn't data the BMS happened to log on its own. It's data captured specifically to prove the equipment is working the way it should.
It's the difference between assuming your car is fine because it started, and actually putting it through a diagnostic and reading the results.
The history section is often the most underappreciated feature — until you actually need it. When a contractor asks what was happening with a piece of equipment six weeks ago, you'll have the answer. When you're evaluating whether to repair or replace a unit, the trend data tells the story.
The Alarm Log archives every alarm week by week. The RTU and VAV History sections show performance trends over time. The Deficiency List tracks every known issue from discovery to resolution. And Notes captures observations and follow-up items from your monitoring team.
Here's a real scenario: a VAV zone that's been running slightly warm for three weeks might mean the heating coil is starting to fail — or the thermostat is drifting. We catch that in week one. Without monitoring, you find out in week six when it stops working entirely and the room is unusable on the coldest day of the year.
Here's exactly what you get when you sign up for building monitoring.
Every night after hours, our system runs automated tests on your equipment. Alarms are generated based on how each unit responds — not just what the BMS already knew.
A daily record of how every RTU, VAV, and exhaust fan in your building performed — not just whether it ran.
A clear, plain-language summary of the week — what happened, what was flagged, and what needs your attention.
Every alarm, every reading, every note — saved and searchable from the first day of monitoring. Your building's full paper trail.
Known service items are logged, tracked, and followed up on. You always know what's open, who flagged it, and how long it's been sitting.
Questions about something on the dashboard? Flag it, send a note, or reach out directly. You're not on your own.
We hear these a lot from facility managers who are exploring monitoring for the first time.
Most facilities we work with catch their first significant issue within the first two weeks of monitoring. Let's find out what your building has been trying to tell you.
