Altura helps clients navigate the complex journey to smart buildings through a pioneering approach to Systems Planning, Analytics and Integration that delivers proven business value and occupant delight.
Altura is a new breed of engineering consulting firm, delivering everything it takes to guide owners to realizing climate & carbon goals by maximizing building performance. Clients describe working with Altura as “transforming the way we deliver projects”, “taking the pain and confusion out of the smart building systems delivery process”, and “delivering an integrated commissioning and systems integrator process that actually delivers business value”.
In the planning phase, our involvement takes the form of decarbonization roadmaps and building automation standards. During design, Altura takes ownership for defining the building controls strategy and establishing performance-based systems acceptance criteria. In the construction phase, we leverage our groundbreaking data analytics platform to transform MEP systems delivery, enable connected commissioning, and build automation software that delivers best-in-class occupant and operator experiences. During the critical operations and maintenance phase, Altura weaves targeted data analytics processes into your organizational workflows to ensure persistent value and achievement of long-term carbon goals.
Despite hefty efficiency and sustainability goals, Databank faces a recurring hurdle: customers fear that AI-driven or automated BMS sequences might compromise critical uptime.
