If you’re new to KODE OS or looking to implement an enterprise building operating system, this guide will help you learn more about the platform and it’s features.
KODE OS is an open enterprise platform that integrates all forms of building management, IoT, and operational systems into a single pane of glass with applications that reduce Energy and Carbon Emissions while automating operations and orchestrating amazing experiences for the people that live, work, visit and play in the built environment.
KODE offers all the core functionality of the BMS, but has a number of additional benefits for operators and the business as a whole. Through KODE OS, operators are provided a modern interface to run the building, both via the web and iOS/Android Mobile Apps. You are also provided access to powerful tools for continuous commissioning, fault detection diagnostics, reporting and to identify opportunities to achieve operational excellence and enhanced client experience.
KODE OS offers a more integrated, data-centric approach with advanced analytics and machine learning capabilities, extending beyond traditional BMS functionalities to optimize building operations and energy management.
KODE provides you with the following all in one platform:
Yes, KODE OS includes diagnostic tools for assessing building system integration readiness and presents comprehensive reports to facilitate the integration process.
KODE can be deployed within 4-6 weeks of equipment integration.
Implementation involves site assessment, integration with existing systems, data normalization, and deployment of user interfaces, all tailored to meet the specific needs of the property. KODE’s typical project scope is grouped in four main phases, which include:
Documentation Collection. Working with the Client operations and IT teams to collect all the necessary documentation about each building.
System & Software Integration. KODE Labs verifies that all aforementioned systems and softwares are operational and working as needed to be able to deliver the KODE OS platform.
System & Data Visualization. Once the building is online and all systems have been integrated into KODE OS, the layout of the visualization is finalized.
User Onboarding & Training. This is the final phase of the project where KODE’s Client Experience team onboards and trains Client users.
KODE integrates with building networks directly by utilizing the pre-existing gateway onsite, requiring no additional hardware for integration. KODE OS can interpret all point of building subsystems with the aim of assisting building management reams, ensuring property functionality of the building systems, sustaining optimal operations and maintaining the well being of its tenants.
Yes, KODE OS is designed to be system-agnostic, capable of integrating with various building systems, sensors, and IoT devices. Check out our API library to see the full list of systems KODE OS connects with.
KODE Labs may require only software for systems that already have a cloud presence. However, for some systems, it may necessitate the installation of lightweight appliances onsite to ensure proper integration.
It depends on your current infrastructure. KODE OS is designed to work with existing systems, but in some cases, additional hardware like gateways may be required to facilitate IoT integration.
KODE OS supports a wide array of protocols, ensuring compatibility with most building management systems (BMS) and IoT devices. Protocolos included are BACnet, ModBus, DALI, DALI 2, MQTT, OPC (OLE for process control), RESTful for web services, and more. While KODE Labs strives to provide universal connectivity, integration with certain proprietary or outdated systems may require additional steps or may not be feasible.
KODE Labs partners with master system integrators perform the integration themselves. We provide the integration tools to our team and partners to ensure that owners and operators receive a full database of equipment installed including warranty information.
KODE can be deployed in both new construction and existing buildings. KODE’s vendor agnostic architecture and rapid deployment tools make it easier and more cost effective to upgrade to a smart portfolio.
KODE OS adheres to stringent data security and privacy protocols, employing encryption, secure data storage, and compliance with industry standards to protect user data.
Predictive maintenance in KODE OS uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to analyze equipment data, predicting potential failures and scheduling maintenance proactively.
KODE OS offers features like utility bill integration, energy performance benchmarking, optimized start-stop for equipment, and detailed energy consumption analytics.
Yes, KODE OS can manage and optimize multiple buildings across various locations, providing a consolidated view and control of entire property portfolios.
Yes, KODE OS supports a native mobile app that allows remote monitoring and management, ensuring accessibility from anywhere.
KODE OS is designed with a user-friendly interface, making it accessible for non-technical staff with various dashboard customizations and intuitive controls.
KODE is designed to support real estate portfolios of any size and supports unlimited buildings and users.
Yes, KODE can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection via the web interface or native iOS and Android mobile apps.
KODE deploys a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. The pricing for KODE OS is typically based on the number of integrated data points, the square footage of the property, and the complexity of the implementation.
Yes, KODE Labs can provide ROI case studies demonstrating the financial benefits and energy savings achieved through the deployment of KODE OS.
KODE Labs offers comprehensive customer support, including troubleshooting, maintenance, and regular updates, with a dedicated team available for assistance.
KODE Labs provides a range of training materials and programs, including onboarding sessions, workshops, and an extensive knowledge base for new users.
KODE OS assists with regulatory compliance by providing tools for energy reporting, carbon emissions tracking, and support for LEED and Energy Star reporting.
Yes, KODE OS supports integration with platforms like Energy Star Portfolio Manager and can facilitate LEED reporting requirements.
KODE OS is updated regularly, with major feature releases typically occurring on a quarterly basis and minor updates released bi-weekly.
Software upgrades are managed seamlessly by KODE Labs, with minimal disruption to clients, and include comprehensive documentation and support.
KODE OS offers industry-specific configurations and customizations to meet the unique requirements of various sectors, including tailored use cases and analytics.
Common use cases include operational efficiency, proactive maintenance, energy optimization, tenant comfort, and sustainability tracking.
Service providers and technology partners can collaborate with KODE Labs through various partnership models, including reseller agreements, integrations, and joint ventures. Check out the Partner page to learn more.
Yes, KODE Labs provides an open API for third-party integrations, enabling seamless connectivity and data exchange with a wide range of external systems and applications.
