Cohesion | Smart Building Management

Think of Cohesion as a digital command center for large office or mixed‑use buildings. It connects elevators, HVAC, security, access control, and occupancy data into one intelligent system so building operators can see what’s happening in real time and let software make many of the small adjustments people used to make manually.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Commercial buildings are expensive and complex to run: operators juggle multiple siloed systems (BMS, access control, tenant apps), energy costs are high, and occupant experience is inconsistent. Cohesion consolidates building data and controls into a unified, smart platform that can optimize operations, improve tenant experience, and reduce operating and energy costs.

Value Drivers

Cost reduction via lower energy usage and more efficient HVAC and lighting controlOperational efficiency from unifying multiple building systems into a single platformImproved tenant experience through smarter access, comfort, and amenity managementBetter asset performance and uptime via data-driven monitoring of building systemsData-driven decision making for property managers and owners (capex, leasing, sustainability)

Strategic Moat

Integration depth with building systems (BMS, access control, IoT), accumulated building performance data, and embedding into daily property management workflows create switching costs and a data/operations moat over time.

Differentiation Factor

More software-native, cloud-centric approach to smart building management compared with legacy BMS vendors; focuses on an integrated digital experience for operators and tenants rather than just control systems.
