How DABBEL AI software connects to the buildings
English German English January 13, 2025 Test user How DABBEL AI software connects to the buildings Blogs Share As we announced in the previous article, today we will elaborate about the connection of the DABBEL AI software.
Before we describe this process in more detail, we want to point out once again what requirements are necessary for the implementation of DABBEL AI software
The requirements for a quick implementation of the software of DABBEL are listed below:
Other connection options are possible and should be coordinated with our team about the respective customer requirements.
To establish the connection and open the VPN tunnel, certain information is needed in advance. These depend on the use of the VPN services. If you are using IPSec or the OpenVPN connection, the following information is required:
Initially, a VPN connection is established between DABBEL’s cloud services and the building. When the connection is successfully set up, the BMS network will be scanned to find all available BACnet/IP controllers. In the next step, the object list is retrieved and all sensors and actuator types are automatically identified.
Based on the identified sensor and actuator type, as well as specific building documentation (HVAC plans/drawings, BMS screenshots, etc.), a thermal model of the building is created.
Once the configuration is complete, DABBEL AI starts to read out the relevant data points in real time and optimise them by using self-learning algorithms.
With a technical employee from DABBEL and an expert from VINCI Facilities Germany, this connection could be accomplished in less than an hour. This was proven in one of the projects in Lohmar, Germany. In conclusion, DABBEL AI software was connected within 45 minutes .
Afterwards, DABBEL AI was able to start directly with the implementation and optimisation, so that they could go live after a few days.
Christian Ochßner , Department Manager Building Services at VINCI Facilities Germany:
“In our joint projects, the connection of the software was implemented quickly, easily and without much effort with the help of DABBEL’s extremely competent employees. Thus, we were able to record the first savings after a short time.”
