Solutions / Building Management

Sentinel-grade oversight for every building you run

Monitor HVAC, chillers, boilers, pumps and energy meters across every site from one place. Describe your gear in plain English and Sentrel stands up the schema, alerts, and dashboards in minutes.

Building Management
1

The monitoring problem in facilities is the building stock itself

Your portfolio is a patchwork: a 1990s boiler on Modbus next to a BACnet/IP chiller plant, AHUs from three vendors, sub-meters that nobody has trended since commissioning. Each site has its own BMS head-end you can barely see across, and the energy bill keeps climbing while a stuck damper or a chiller short-cycling at 2am goes unnoticed until a tenant complaint. Traditional BMS upgrades mean an integrator, a per-site server, and a 6-to-18-month project per building. By then the comfort calls and the demand charges have already cost you.

  • Mixed BACnet, Modbus and OPC-UA gear that won't talk to one another
  • Multi-site portfolios with a separate, siloed head-end at every building
  • Energy and demand cost rising with no per-asset visibility into why
  • Faults like short-cycling, fouled coils and stuck valves caught late, by complaint

What you can actually monitor here

Connect the equipment you already operate over the protocols it already speaks. A lightweight Node-RED edge connector reads your plant on Modbus and OPC-UA from a gateway you own, no proprietary sensors and no manufacturer sign-off. Sentrel validates every reading against a typed schema and runs your alert rules on each one, per asset, across every site.

  • HVAC & AHUs: supply/return temp, setpoints vs. actuals, fan runtime, filter pressure drop
  • Chillers & boilers: leaving-water temp, approach, load, short-cycle counts, runtime hours
  • Pumps: pressure, flow, run state, cycling and lead/lag behavior
  • Energy & utility meters: kWh, kW demand peaks, power factor, per-tenant and per-asset breakdown
  • Air quality: CO2 / IAQ, temperature and humidity for comfort and ventilation compliance

How Sentrel fits, and what changes

Describe a building in a sentence: 'AHU-3 supply air should hold 13-15C; CO2 over 1000ppm pages facilities; flag the chiller if it cycles more than 4 times an hour.' Sentrel generates the typed schema and the rules, then alerts you in real time over WebSocket, in-app, webhook and email. Every reading carries a tamper-evident integrity hash and a full audit trail, and RBAC keeps each site team scoped to their own assets. AI-editable dashboards and SCADA views give facilities, energy and ownership the picture each one needs, white-labeled if you resell it.

  • Stand up a new building in minutes, not a per-site integration project
  • Catch energy waste and equipment faults before they hit the bill or the tenant
  • One pane across the whole portfolio, with cost estimation and fault-analysis reports
  • Tamper-evident records and RBAC for owners, auditors and per-site teams
Questions

Building Management, answered.

No. Sentrel reads the HVAC, chiller, boiler, pump and meter gear you already run over BACnet, Modbus and OPC-UA via a lightweight Node-RED edge connector on a gateway you own. No proprietary sensors, no rip-and-replace, and no manufacturer cooperation required.

Yes. Sentrel is multi-tenant by design. You connect each site's mixed-vendor gear, monitor it all from one place, and use RBAC plus module permissions to scope each site team to its own assets while owners and energy managers see the whole portfolio.

Minutes, not months. Describe the equipment and thresholds in plain English and an LLM generates the typed data schema and alert rules. There's no per-site integrator engagement or 6-to-18-month SCADA project to schedule.

Stop integrating. Start monitoring.

Describe what you want to watch, connect the gateway you already own, and be live this afternoon — no integrator, no proprietary hardware, no six-month project.
