Smart Building Performance Through Connected Sensors

The Peckham IoT Facilities Monitoring platform transforms building operations with real-time environmental data and intuitive dashboards. Facilities teams gain clearer insights into comfort, safety, and efficiency—delivering more consistent building performance across operations.

The Challenge

Traditional facilities management relies on reactive responses and periodic manual checks. Without real-time visibility into environmental conditions, teams struggle to maintain optimal comfort levels, identify safety issues early, and optimize energy efficiency. Facilities staff need actionable data that helps them prevent problems rather than react to complaints.

Our Solution

Real-Time Environmental Monitoring

IoT sensor network capturing critical building metrics:

Temperature, humidity, and air quality monitoring
Occupancy and usage pattern tracking
Equipment performance and energy consumption
Alert triggers for out-of-range conditions

Intuitive Operations Dashboards

Centralized visibility for facilities teams:

Live data visualization across all monitored spaces
Historical trends identifying patterns and anomalies
Customizable alerts and notification workflows
Mobile-accessible interface for on-the-go teams

Simplified IoT Architecture

Efficient edge-to-cloud infrastructure:

Lightweight edge clients replacing complex
Kubernetes deployments
Local caching for offline resilience and reliability
Secure, centralized cloud control point
Encrypted communication with mTLS protocols

Technical Foundation

Built for operational reliability:

IoT Protocols: MQTT, CoAP, WebSockets
