No two buildings operate in exactly the same way.
A shopping centre needs to balance comfort for hundreds of visitors. An office building must create a productive indoor environment while keeping operating costs under control. Educational and research facilities depend on reliable systems that work efficiently every day. Although their purposes differ, they all have something in common: every building presents opportunities to improve how it is managed, monitored, and optimized.
At Intellify, every project starts by understanding those opportunities. Rather than replacing existing infrastructure, we focus on helping building owners and facility teams gain better visibility, improve system performance, and make informed decisions based on data.
The following projects illustrate how different challenges can be addressed with practical, technology-driven solutions.
Bringing Greater Visibility to SKY & More Shopping Centre
When Intellify began working with SKY Shopping Centre, the building already had several HVAC systems supporting daily operations. As with many large commercial buildings, managing these systems efficiently required better coordination and clearer insight into energy use.
The project focused on integrating HVAC equipment into a centralized platform, improving remote control capabilities, and introducing energy monitoring alongside automated operational alerts.
A digital twin was developed for the ventilation systems, allowing different operating strategies to be evaluated before implementation. Heating unit control was refined, ventilation schedules were optimized, and the chiller was connected for remote operation.
By integrating four air handling units and collecting data from 178 points across the building, the facility team gained a much clearer understanding of system performance.
The outcome was a reduction in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions while maintaining a high standard of indoor comfort. At the same time, optimized operating schedules improved heat pump efficiency and made technical deviations easier to identify.
Modernizing Building Intelligence at Ostas Skati
Technology evolves, and so do the expectations placed on modern buildings.
At Ostas Skati Office Building, the existing Building Management System had been serving the property since 2011. While it continued to perform its core functions, there was an opportunity to gain deeper insight into energy performance and further optimize HVAC operation.
Intellify expanded the building's monitoring capabilities by installing additional energy meters and integrating operational data into a centralized analytics environment.
Using this information, HVAC operating modes were adjusted based on actual building performance. A self-learning climate control algorithm was also introduced, taking into account solar radiation, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and the building's thermal characteristics when regulating indoor conditions.
These improvements resulted in a 12% reduction in annual heating energy consumption while providing the facility team with significantly greater visibility into both energy use and HVAC performance.
Simplifying Multi-Site Management at Agrofirma Tērvete
Managing multiple locations often means managing large amounts of operational data.
For Agrofirma Tērvete, regular monitoring of water and energy consumption was already part of everyday operations. The objective was to make that process more efficient by reducing manual reporting and improving access to real-time information.
Intellify installed additional water and energy metering devices while integrating existing sensors into a single platform. Consumption data was presented through customized dashboards designed around the client's operational needs, and automated reporting simplified monthly reporting tasks.
The result was one centralized environment for monitoring consumption across multiple sites.
With real-time visibility and automated reporting, the team could spend less time collecting information and more time using it to support operational planning and cost management.
Connecting Systems Across a Business Centre in Riga
In large office buildings, individual HVAC systems often perform well independently, but greater value can be achieved when they operate as one coordinated system.
For a Business Centre in Riga, Intellify centralized the management of eleven HVAC units while upgrading automation logic and modernizing PLC controllers.
Additional climate, humidity, and temperature sensors were installed throughout the building, providing continuous monitoring across key areas. Automated technical alerts were introduced to support faster responses, while ventilation control was adjusted to respond to measured CO₂ levels rather than fixed operating schedules.
These improvements provided the facility management team with a more complete overview of indoor climate conditions and equipment performance.
The project resulted in a 13% reduction in annual energy consumption—equivalent to approximately €16,000 in yearly savings—while also reducing HVAC downtime and improving response times for technical issues.
Improving Heating Performance at the Institute of Solid State Physics
Reliable data is the foundation of informed decision-making, particularly when it comes to energy management.
Working with the Institute of Solid State Physics, Intellify focused on improving the visibility and control of the building's heating systems.
Heating pumps were replaced, additional temperature sensors were installed, and heating control was integrated into a centralized platform. By calculating heating circuit performance and energy consumption, the institute gained a much clearer understanding of how its systems operated throughout the building.
The project delivered a 12% reduction in heating energy consumption while providing detailed operational insights that support ongoing optimization and long-term planning.
Building Performance as a Journey
Every building has its own rhythm, priorities, and opportunities to improve. These projects show how data and thoughtful automation can help teams manage their buildings with more confidence, less guesswork, and better long-term results.
