Building automation design 

We design building automation systems that ensure comfortable indoor conditions, controlled energy consumption, and efficient maintenance throughout the property’s entire lifecycle.

Building automation is the key to energy efficiency 

Well-designed building automation ensures healthy and comfortable indoor conditions and keeps energy consumption under control. With the right adjustments and controls, the building operates efficiently according to the needs of users and the property owner.

A well-functioning building automation system also generates valuable data for property management supporting the needs of energy management and property maintenance, and can operate as part of broader digital ecosystems within the property.

We provide building automation design, commissioning services and operational-phase services for new buildings, renovation projects and existing properties. We design, develop and optimise automation systems to ensure that solutions are technically reliable, fit for purpose and fully compatible with the building’s other MEP systems.

Design 

We design building automation systems that ensure healthy and comfortable indoor conditions while keeping energy consumption under control. Our solutions support efficient building operation, provide valuable data for decision-making and make maintenance easier throughout the building’s lifecycle.

Construction management

We provide construction management services for building automation projects throughout their lifecycle and during system renewals. We focus on the client’s needs and ensure that solutions support the building’s energy efficiency, usability and reliable operation from implementation through to completion.

Supervision 

We supervise the implementation of building automation systems throughout the construction project. Our services cover design coordination, installation and software inspections, commissioning and functional testing, helping ensure that systems are implemented as planned and operate reliably from the start.

Energy-efficient automation

We assess your building automation system in relation to energy efficiency, smart building targets and evolving regulatory requirements. Based on the assessment, we identify development needs and create a prioritised roadmap to support investment decisions and improve the building’s energy performance.

Building automation audit 

We assess whether your building automation system is operating as designed and meeting your current needs. The audit covers system performance and operation and can also include physical and digital security, helping identify improvement needs and opportunities for more reliable performance.

Strategies and lifecycle assessments

We develop building automation strategies and assess the lifecycle impacts of required investments and solutions. This helps identify future development needs and create a solid foundation for the property’s digitalisation and efficient building automation management.

Smart building automation benefits both users and property owners

We apply our extensive experience in property operation and maintenance already at the design stage, bringing effective solution options to the table early in the process. Our design ensures that building automation generates valuable data for use in digital solutions.

We also produce maintenance-related data during the design phase. This information is refined as the project progresses, supporting a seamless transition from the project phase to building operation and maintenance. When needed, the data can also be transferred directly to Granlund Manager.

Our areas of expertise  

Our clients trust us with building automation design for demanding facilities.

RAU-suunnittelu - Sairaalat
HOSPITALS 

In hospitals, building automation maintains precise environmental conditions and pressure levels in critical spaces such as operating theatres and isolation rooms. We design reliable, fault-tolerant systems that support patient safety and continuity of care.

RAU-suunnittelu - Datakeskukset
DATA CENTERS 

In data centres, building automation controls cooling and maintains stable temperature and humidity conditions around the clock. We design redundant and energy-efficient control systems that maximise availability while keeping energy consumption under control.

RAU-suunnittelu - Koulut
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES

In educational facilities, building automation adjusts ventilation and temperature according to occupancy and carbon dioxide levels. Demand-based control helps maintain healthy indoor conditions during lessons while saving energy when spaces are unoccupied.

RAU-suunnittelu - Toimistot
OFFICES AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

In offices and commercial buildings, building automation optimises heating, cooling and ventilation according to occupancy. Smart control creates comfortable conditions for users and keeps maintenance costs under control.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES 

Comprehensive services for your needs

In addition to building automation services, we offer a wide range of other expert services to ensure the technical performance of the property. We support you throughout the property’s entire lifecycle, from needs assessments and goal-setting to design, commissioning, and maintenance.

Building automation projects can also be supported by the following related services:
