Incorporated with an alert system, NUCLEUS alerts building managers when unusual behavior is detected for indoor environment monitoring, e.g. power outage triggering an alert. This active alert system eliminates the need for constant monitoring. With the location based information, building managers can quickly pin point the problem and the extent of area affected.

NUCLEUS’s ability to monitor devices, facilities and equipment information allowed building managers to easily browse and query maintenance records and manufacturer information from the 3D view. Incorporated with location based information, when any system has problem, e.g. power outage, building managers can quickly pin point location of source of fault so that rectification measures can be taken immediately, reducing the system’s down time.

NUCLEUS integration with smart sensors helps building managers to optimize manpower resource. For example, tasks such as washroom cleaning are scheduled with redundancy. By integrating NUCLEUS with air-quality sensor to track levels of ammonia in the washrooms, cleaning services can be triggered on-demand only when ammonia levels reaches undesirable levels, hence optimizing manpower while maintaining the same level of washroom cleanliness.

Waste bins can also be monitored so that in the event waste overflows and is detected around the bin instead of in the bin, on-demand cleaning services will be engaged to clear the bins.

NUCLEUS integration with smart sensors helps improve visitors’ experience at a premise. For example, by integrating NUCLEUS with car park slot sensors and CCTV video analytics, drivers can utilize the smart parking system to locate the nearest available car park slots, hence reducing cruising time.

NUCLEUS features an incident reporting function which allows anyone with a camera able mobile phone to become an information provider. Passerby who notice incidents, such as a leaking air con vent can capture an image of the incident with their mobile phone and report it to NUCLEUS with a short description of the incident location. This provides a great way for efficient feedback, which helps in overall management and maintenance of the building.

Efficient feedback with mobile incident reporting

Annotation of location-based notes can be done in the 3D building model using 2D icons or 3D objects. This can be used in premise planning, e.g. planning car park slots, resulting in better preparedness for the building。

Utilizing NUCLEUS for premise planning

NUCLEUS completely integrates with Building Management System, Security Management System, Fire Management System, Asset Management System, 3D building model and the building’s Information Technology system to reach a system convergence, allowing data from individual sub-systems to exist on one single platform. Boundaries between each sub-systems is removed, creating a vast reservoir of business intelligence, and building managers can seamlessly interplay data for a more efficient and intuitive management of the building.

For example, the fire alarm system integrated with NUCLEUS monitors the CO2 and smoke levels in the building. When unusual levels of CO2 and smoke levels are detected, NUCLEUS will alert building managers, who can then take fast actions to verify the situation via selecting a neighboring CCTV in NUCLEUS to call out the live footage or dispatch the nearest patrol guard on duty, based on RFID locations, to understand the ground situation.
