# 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.
