Efficient Building Networking with NETx: Advantages and Implementation
Networking buildings offers essential advantages for modern and efficient building management. It enables direct and automated communication between various systems, such as lighting, heating, and security, allowing comprehensive control and optimization. Especially in distributed properties, such as retail chains, public buildings, or large hotel complexes, building networking supports centralized control and analysis, reducing operational costs and improving energy efficiency.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Reduction
- Real-time monitoring and optimization of energy consumption reduce energy waste.
- Centralized analysis lowers operating and maintenance costs through efficient reporting and servicing.
Flexibility & Scalability
Easily adaptable for new locations or systems, ensuring future-proof operations.
Simplified Maintenance & Rapid Emergency Response
- Central monitoring minimizes maintenance expenses with scheduled servicing.
- Centralized alarm systems ensure quick resolution of emergencies.
Distributed System Automation
Integration of local and central servers provides flexible and efficient automation.
Centralized optimization enables efficiency, streamlined maintenance, rapid response, scalability, and flexible automation.

Improving Building Networking with the NETx BMS Platform
Improving Building Networking with the NETx BMS Platform
The NETx BMS Platform offers a robust solution for centralized monitoring and control of distributed properties. Through a hierarchical server structure, local servers at various locations can securely connect to a central master server via VPN. This setup enables seamless data integration and centralized visualization of all building data, allowing monitoring and control to continue independently at local sites in case of disruptions.
Features & Benefits
Features & Benefits
- Comparability of the consumption of the individual buildings
- High transparency of consumption and operating data
- Comprehensive optimization of energy use
- Continuous adaptation to changes in user behavior
- Energy optimization through rapid reporting in the event of irregularities
- Bundled reporting of the consumption data of all properties
- Evaluation of all historical data for property comparisons, annual evaluations and analysis of potential savings
- Lower costs for configuration and staff training through the use of a unified system
- Minimization of personnel costs through central control via a networked control center
- A home technician replaces several employees on-call in the on-call service or represents them on vacation or in case of illness
- The use of a master visualization saves ongoing personnel costs and reduces training costs
- High savings potential in maintenance (e.g. failure of lights)
- By counting the operating hours in all buildings, the purchase of e.g. light sources can be planned, and a better price can be achieved due to the high quantity
- Cost reduction while maintaining comfort
- Alarm overview over several buildings with central recording
- Prompt handling of fault messages with little personnel expenditure (e.g. in the event of failure of the heating or cooling system, shop window lighting, break-in, etc.)
- Connection of independent local servers to a central master server for streamlined operations.
- Enhanced building automation through the integration of numerous interfaces.
- Direct communication between trades and integration of safety and security applications.
- Aggregation of data from independently operating sub-servers via secure VPN connections (e.g., WAN).
- Self-sufficient local servers ensure no downtime during connection failures to the central control center.
- Centralized data presentation through a master visualization interface.
- Support for main/backup solutions to ensure system resilience and reliability.
