Thanks to SOPHIA, intelligent applications are not only used professionally and in a user-oriented manner, but can also be experienced. SOPHIA stands for "Smart Operated Properties by Human-centered Innovative Applications." This could be translated as: Intelligent real estate controlled by innovative, human-centered applications. SOPHIA focuses on sustainability, energy management, and user experience, as well as on optimizing building performance and overall portfolio strategy.
In practice, SOPHIA will be a one-stop service from planning to application by users. It will reduce CO2 emissions and operating costs and increase user comfort and the value of the building.
SOPHIA system landscape:
The SOPHIA system landscape covers all components of the concept and is divided into two areas: SOPHIA processes and SOPHIA services.
The SOPHIA processes comprise standardized procedures that can be applied in the planning, implementation, and operation of buildings. We distinguish between the integral concepts for new construction— where the focus is on the building envelope, the systems, and the rooms with clear control by the client – and the transformation concept for existing buildings. Here, the focus is on revitalization and improving sustainability and energy efficiency.
SOPHIA services form the foundation for SOPHIA processes and include digital and physical services that optimize the operation and use of a building. The services comprise four factors:
User applications: These describe the interface between the user and the smart technical building equipment (TGA). This includes areas such as workplace management and access control.
Data cockpit: Our digital interfaces collect, process, and provide all relevant data from the buildings. This enables greater efficiency in the planning, analysis, and operation of the building.
Building operating system: Our central digital platform that connects and controls all technical systems in a building. As part of the data cockpit, the system forms a data basis for all connected sensors and, with its intelligent control system, ensures that buildings are future-proof, efficient, and sustainable.
TGA use cases: The expansion of a smart TGA can be clustered into five use cases: systems, energy, rooms, security, and access. The equipment contained therein enables efficient control and monitoring of building functions such as energy consumption, access control, and room air conditioning.
We drive our concepts and processes forward in project development with strong partners. Our partners contribute expertise, innovative technologies, and new perspectives, from sufficient planning and networked building technology to smart lighting. Together with them, we realize sustainable, intelligent, and future-oriented buildings.
