# iBOS Data

<figure><img src="/files/iA28myLTadNZ1Rex6Flz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**iBOS Data** provides secure access to building operational data in a format ready for immediate use in BI and analytics tools.

Built on the iBOS stack and powered by **iBOS Connect,** it helps facility teams and property organizations move building data into their digital environment without custom integrations, additional engineering, or manual exports.

> Your building data - unlocked, structured, and ready to use.

### What it does

iBOS Data consolidates data from building systems into a single structured feed. That feed can include:

* HVAC data
* Energy and meter data
* Alarms and environmental signals
* Occupancy patterns and asset behavior

Data arrives every five minutes. It is standardized and enriched before delivery, making it ready for:

* BI dashboards
* Analytics workflows
* ESG reporting
* Regulatory submissions

### Why teams use it

**One unified feed**\
You get a single, consistent data stream instead of fragmented sources and manual stitching.

**Built for BI teams**\
The data is prepared for immediate use. You do not need custom scripts or extra formatting.

**Secure by design**\
iBOS Connect uses encrypted transfers, a Zero Trust architecture, role-based permissions, and no open firewall ports. This protects both the building network and the corporate network.

**Portfolio scale**\
The same delivery model works across a single site or a large estate. You can add buildings, sensors, and applications without changing the data structure each time.

### Key value

**Reduced complexity**\
Facility teams spend less time preparing data and more time acting on it.

**Better visibility**\
BI teams get clean, reliable data streams. Leadership gets faster access to clearer insights.

**Future-ready architecture**\
As new services, sensors, or iBOS applications are added, the dataset updates automatically. You do not need to rebuild the pipeline to keep expanding it.

### How it works

iBOS Data collects building data over **BACnet** by reading values from local controllers.\
These values can include temperatures, valve positions, occupancy states, energy meters, and other operational points.

A centralized workflow engine coordinates the pipeline.

On each cycle, a worker process opens a secure temporary tunnel to the building site, collects BACnet object values, and repeats this process on a recurring schedule.

The raw data is then transformed into a unified structure and stored in a distributed database optimized for time-series workloads and scale.

A high-performance API serves the dataset through a clear hierarchy:

* Projects
* Devices
* Objects
* Trending data

### Who it is for

iBOS Data is a strong fit for:

* Facility managers who need frictionless access to operational building data
* BI and analytics teams integrating building performance into existing dashboards
* Portfolio owners who need secure data delivery across multiple assets
* Organizations preparing for ESG, sustainability, or compliance reporting

### Summary

iBOS Data turns building data into a reliable operational asset. It gives teams a secure, scalable, and analytics-ready way to use building data for reporting, monitoring, and decision-making.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ibostechnologies.com/ibos-data/ibos-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
