The path to a Smart Building starts with a robust building network and a company to manage it. Intelligent Riser, a division of Montgomery Technologies, designs and installs enterprise-class, cybersecure networks dedicated to building systems - the critical first step required to successfully enable Smart Building technology. Intelligent Riser provides quantifiable capex and opex savings, and our Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors and manages the network 24x7x365, ensuring building systems remain cybersecure with 99.999% uptime. Intelligent Riser is installed in hundreds of office buildings nationwide and is the most installed building systems network in the world.
Intelligent Riser is a division of Montgomery Technologies, a leading professional services firm specializing in the integration of technology and commercial real estate. Increasing numbers of fiber runs and connection requests in the same building made us realize the need for a single, secure, asset-specific, cost-effective, managed network. While many clients developed best practices and security standards for their corporate networks, they were less familiar with building networks, a core strength of Montgomery Technologies.
Intelligent Riser was created in 2010 to serve the base building network needs of high-rise commercial office owners and managers. Driven by smart technologies, regulatory requirements and changing tenant expectations, they worked closely with long-time clients to develop the Intelligent Riser network. They have been responding to high demand ever since. Today, Intelligent Riser is the most secure, most installed base building systems network in the U.S.
Indiana University won cross-department buy-in for a two-building FDD pilot by framing it as building health rather than energy savings, and is beginning to capture the $185k of savings identified.
Learn how standardized HVAC sequences of operation, building automation systems (BAS), cooling tower optimization, and analytics help commercial real estate portfolios improve energy efficiency, reduce HVAC complaints, and achieve repeatable building performance at scale.
Learn how Texas Tech University built an in-house HVAC controls team to eliminate sequence drift, optimize building automation systems (BAS), reduce energy costs, and improve HVAC performance through recommissioning, controls programming, and fault detection.
Learn how UC Irvine uses operational commissioning, SkySpark, building automation systems (BAS), fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), and HVAC optimization to improve energy efficiency and building performance across a large campus.
Learn how RTX is using continuous commissioning, monitor-based commissioning (MBCx), and intelligent building controls to optimize HVAC performance, uncover energy savings opportunities, and scale energy management across a global portfolio of manufacturing facilities.
Get a fast, plain-English overview of HVAC sequence optimization: what it is, why energy 'drift' quietly drives up commercial building costs, the three levers building owners actually pull (sequences, set points, and schedules), and a 12-step playbook plus benchmarking framework for making optimization a permanent part of building operations.
