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.
Innovative solutions are emerging that promise to liberate building owners from these closed ecosystems. In particular, one buzzword is on everyone’s lips as a beacon of hope for “freedom from lock-in”: open source. But what does “open source” really mean in the context of building automation, and can it deliver on its promise of flexibility and owner control?
Today's tools have not been very user-centric for the people on the ground, so those people ignore them—and the hoped-for efficiency and data insights never materialize. Now that’s starting to change. Gamification, AI, and behavioral psychology principles influence users to return frequently, spend more time on the platform, and even enjoy doing so.
