GEZE and Priva plan to work together for future building automation

Energy efficiency, safety and comfort are some of the most important requirements in the area of building automation across the globe. To realize them it is more important than ever to integrate all the elements in a building to ensure the mentioned topics. This presupposes collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation between different product groups – so that the “internet of things” becomes accepted truth.

In the construction area the BACnet communication standard ensures open communication and interaction. Priva and GEZE have used this standard for years now. And here the cooperation starts.

Both companies are developing their automation products and solutions with the open standard. ‘”Therefore these solutions are highly compatible and this supports the creation of excellent added value for all our clients and end users – For example to adopt flexible solutions to specific customer needs” says Brigitte Vöster-Alber from GEZE. “This means we will be faster and more detailed in our answers to solve challenges in building automation”, agrees Meiny Prins from Priva. Priva and GEZE confirm the positive influence of this collaboration now and in future, for the coming benefits for their customers, especially.

To translate this LOI into action it is planned to create work streams around optimized building automation and visualization and to increase synergies around energy efficiency and comfort.

For clients and end users it is to offer the right blend of safety and convenience functions for intelligent visualisation, transparent monitoring, and efficient control of networked building automation. This ensures climate control, energy saving, optimal reuse of water and much more. Not only for utility buildings such as offices, retail, hotels and hospitals, but also for horticulture and indoor growing facilities.
