Smart Building & BMS
Building Management Systems with Ignition SCADA
Centralize HVAC, lighting, access control, and energy management across multiple buildings with a unified Ignition platform and LoRaWAN sensors.
Facility managers and local authorities increasingly need centralized visibility across dozens or hundreds of buildings. Traditional BMS solutions are siloed by building and vendor, creating data blind spots and inefficiency. Ignition SCADA breaks these silos with a vendor-agnostic platform that connects to any BMS controller, IoT sensor, or legacy system. Combined with private LoRaWAN networks for indoor air quality, temperature, and energy metering, it delivers a true hypervision layer for smart building portfolios.
Key Challenges
Multi-Building Visibility
Each building often has its own BMS vendor and protocol, making centralized monitoring nearly impossible without a unifying layer.
Energy Performance Compliance
Decret Tertiaire (France) and BACS regulations require measurable energy reduction targets with documented evidence.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Post-COVID regulations in schools and public buildings mandate CO2 monitoring. Deploying wired sensors is often impractical in existing buildings.
Aging BMS Infrastructure
Many buildings run outdated BMS controllers with proprietary protocols. Full replacement is costly; overlay solutions are needed.
Our Solutions
Centralized Hypervision
A single Ignition platform connecting to all BMS vendors (Distech, Schneider, Siemens, WIT) via BACnet, Modbus, and OPC UA for unified portfolio management.
Private LoRaWAN Network
Deploy wireless IAQ sensors, energy meters, and occupancy detectors across buildings without cabling — our LoRaWAN module integrates directly into Ignition.
Energy Management & Reporting
Track energy consumption by building, zone, and end-use with automated Decret Tertiaire reporting and ISO 50001 dashboards.
HVAC Optimization
Scheduling, setpoint optimization, and fault detection for heating, ventilation, and cooling systems to reduce energy waste by 20-40%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Ignition replace my existing BMS?
Ignition acts as a hypervision layer on top of existing BMS controllers. You keep your field equipment (controllers, actuators, sensors) and add a modern web interface for centralized monitoring, energy management, and reporting.
How does the LoRaWAN module help with BMS?
Our LoRaWAN module embeds a network server directly in Ignition, allowing you to connect wireless sensors (CO2, temperature, humidity, energy meters) without external infrastructure. It's ideal for retrofitting existing buildings where cabling is impractical.
What is the Decret Tertiaire and how does Ignition help?
The Decret Tertiaire requires French commercial buildings over 1,000m2 to reduce energy consumption by 40% by 2030. Ignition provides continuous energy metering, automated annual reporting, and actionable dashboards to track progress toward these targets.
