Where do you even start if you want to create a Smart Building?

The Intelligent Reading Building (IRB) standard combines the renowned capabilities of global leaders in their fields, bringing proven strategy, best-in-class products, technical expertise and  customer-focused design to deliver agile, scalable solutions.

IRB is a partnership between Ideal, technology giant Cisco, BMS experts Schneider Electric and digital consultancy Para, delivering a blueprint for Smart Building development.

Take the friction out of your smart building journey

Building on proven delivered projects like 150 Holborn, IRB brings together secure converged networks and unparalleled building technology to create a seamless, adaptable reference architecture from which to customise your operational requirements.

Working with our experts, we can help you from initial Smart Consultancy stages, through Smart Build to completion. We’ll provide holistic solutions across your technology stack, integrating your operational technology (OT), information technology (IT) building management services (BMS)  and Internet of Things (IOT) devices in one accessible data-layer.

We can then work with you to set up tracking and analysis, putting you fully in control of your building with decision-making about working efficiencies, energy usage, sustainability, security and services based on real-time data.
