Smart Building Collective | Certification Recognizes Woodsense for Achieving Certification Against SBC Framework
Smart Building Collective | Certification is pleased to announce that Woodsense, a leading innovator in sensor technology, has achieved certification against the Smart Building Collective (SBC) Framework. This certification acknowledges Woodsense's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that contribute to the advancement of smart and sustainable buildings.
Woodsense specializes in moisture detection technology designed to identify and prevent potential leaks in wood and flat roof constructions, mitigating the risk of significant damages to building foundations. With the prevalence of moisture-related issues in construction, Woodsense's solution addresses a critical aspect often undervalued in building management.
Capturing Leakages Before They Become Issues
The Woodsense sensor is a breakthrough in proactive building maintenance, aiming to capture leakages before they escalate into substantial problems. The sensor's advanced capabilities allow it to detect moisture in wood and flat roof constructions, providing an early warning system that enables preventive action before damages become extensive.
Addressing the Significance of Moisture Damages
In Northern Europe, a staggering 7 1/2% of all construction costs are attributed to repairing moisture damages. This statistic underscores the critical need for solutions like Woodsense's sensor to prevent moisture-related issues and safeguard the structural integrity of buildings. By addressing these challenges early on, Woodsense contributes to the overall health and longevity of buildings.
"We are honored to receive certification from Smart Building Collective. Our mission at Woodsense is to revolutionize building maintenance by addressing the often overlooked but immensely impactful issue of moisture damages. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to providing innovative solutions that contribute to the resilience and longevity of structures." -Thijs van Tilburg, Co Founder of Woodsense
Woodsense Solution Certification:
Not a checklist but a dynamic process to score the existence and use of technology to measure
Building Usage
How people use the building informs the decisions of what space, amenities, system automation, and adjustments are required to better serve the needs of the users. If the needs of the user can be more effectively met, improvement to performance and cost base can be more easily realized.
Building Performance
Visibility into a building’s performance from a system perspective but also amenities, and machine management, allows optimization of operations and elimination of unnecessary costs or waste. This theme looks towards optimization of investment, improved efficiencies, consumption, and a minimization of environmental impact.
Building Environment
The physical environment of the building has never been more important than it is now. Healthy environments and more importantly data proving that environments are healthy will increasingly be required by users, building owners, and even governments.
Health, Safety, and Security
Technology is the only way we know if buildings are compliant with health and safety standards and truly capable of keeping users safe. Safety is a basic human requirement that all other aspects are built upon.
User Behavior and Collaboration
Smart Buildings are intrinsically connected to their function and the people inside of them. This theme explores how the building empowers user behavior and collaboration, supporting the maximization of value and purpose of the space.
Integrative Design and Connectivity
How well are the solutions integrated with one another and the building? The least number of solutions for the maximum benefit. Elimination of department silos and seamless system integration. Smart building and business continuity is dependent on internet connectivity levels within the building. This section explores integrative design and connectivity in detail.
