For businesses, there is an ever growing focus on energy efficiency, and an increasing awareness of the importance of providing comfortable work environments. Within these workplaces, worker comfort has a direct correlation with productivity.
Hux’s platform ‘Hux Connect’ is the first on the market that integrates a stand-alone building monitoring system into the day-to-day practices of Facility Management (FM). The hardware it circumvents all of the roadblocks to effective information gathering that normally limits traditional FM solutions. It is easy to configure, easy and cost-free to reconfigure, and can produce data output from the moment it’s installed. Being standalone means that Facility Managers can use Hux as a universal portal to manage the performance of multiple buildings, even if those buildings are running incompatible Building Management Systems (BMS). Hux Connect is also the only platform that offers complaint management that can produce reports for third parties with quantitative measurements immediately.
Hux Connect has 3 defining features:
1. A stand-alone system of environmental sensors that can be configured and positioned by non-specialists, and is endlessly extensible.
2. A web portal with an industry-leading focus on usability, presenting complex data in intuitive ways that are immediately understandable to non-specialists.
3. Using a network of low cost indoor environment sensors called 'Motes', Hux is able to distil metrics such as temperature, daylight, humidity, CO2 saturation to provide a picture that even untrained users can understand.
Using real-time data Hux demonstrates it is possible to build up a clear understanding of what is going on inside a building, with only an internet connection.
Hux welcome the opportunity to share its discoveries, and has accepted many invitations to speak at leading industry events and collaborate with peak research entities.
