Smart Building & Energy Monitoring — See What Your Building Is Really Doing
Energy can be 30% of a building’s operating cost — and most buildings can’t say where it goes. TITAN IoT delivers the RealPulse smart building platform by IoT Factory in Ireland: wireless sensors on your meters, distribution boards, rooms and pipes, feeding one live dashboard of energy, air quality, water and occupancy. No rewiring, no property modifications — installed and supported from Galway.
The RealPulse dashboard — energy, air quality, water and occupancy in one view
What Is Building Energy Monitoring?
Building energy monitoring measures where a building’s electricity, gas, heat and water actually go — live, circuit by circuit — instead of waiting for the bill. Wireless sensors clip onto distribution boards, read existing utility meters and sub-meter individual systems like HVAC and lighting, reporting to a cloud platform that shows consumption in real time, flags anomalies, and identifies the significant energy users worth fixing. Because modern systems use battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors, monitoring retrofits into an existing building without rewiring, and typically pays for itself in the waste it finds.
It’s also how EU energy-reporting and ESG obligations get met without spreadsheets — automated, audit-ready consumption records instead of manual meter reads.
Everything the Building Should Be Telling You
RealPulse runs modular applications on one dashboard — start with energy, add the rest as they earn their place.
Energy — the Lead Pillar
Live electricity, gas and heating consumption — whole building, per floor, per circuit. Current clamps on distribution boards, pulse and optical readers on existing supply meters, alerts when usage breaks targets. Find the significant energy users, then watch the savings land.
Indoor Air Quality
CO2, temperature, humidity and pollutants per room. Proof of a healthy workplace, evidence for ventilation decisions, and the data behind “do we actually need air conditioning?” — a question we’ve answered for Irish customers with a single sensor.
Water & Leak Detection
Water damage is the number-one cause of building insurance claims. Meter reading catches creeping consumption; compact leak sensors under risers, tanks and plant alarm on first contact with water.
Occupancy & Space
Desk and room occupancy sensors show how the building is actually used — which meeting rooms earn their floor space, when heating empty zones is burning money, what the real week looks like.
A Sensor for Every Point in the Building
The platform integrates 700+ device types across vendors — Milesight, Enless Wireless and many more — so the right sensor goes on each job rather than one brand stretched across all of them. These are the families we deploy most:
Electricity metering: 3-phase LoRaWAN power meters · multi-circuit power monitors · CT current clamps for distribution boards · optical pulse readers that read the flashing LED on existing supply meters — no electrician needed at the main meter
Gas, water & heat metering: wireless pulse counters that convert any pulsed utility meter to remote reading · IP67 pulse/data loggers with up to a decade of battery life
Air quality & climate: CO2 / temperature / humidity room sensors · multi-gas sensors (CO, NH₃, H₂S) with local alarms · combined sound, occupancy and environment multi-sensors
Water protection: ultra-compact leak sensors with built-in alarm · leak-sensing cable for risers and plant rooms
Safety: LoRaWAN smoke detectors and alarms with temperature and humidity reporting
Occupancy: motion- and heat-based desk sensors · room occupancy and people-flow multi-sensors
Comfort control: LoRaWAN smart radiator valves with ambient sensing and heating schedules — monitoring that starts to act
Gateways: compact indoor and IP67 outdoor LoRaWAN gateways, 8-channel, with 4G, Wi-Fi and Ethernet backhaul — one or two typically cover a whole building

Open Wins Tenders. Closed Loses Them.
Single-vendor platforms only speak to their own hardware — the moment your building needs a sensor they don’t make, the platform is the ceiling. RealPulse is built the other way: an open platform by IoT Factory, developing smart building IoT since 2016, integrating 700+ device types from any vendor over LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi and 4G/5G.
That openness is why this solution was selected in competitive Irish public-sector procurement — the winning design read the existing ESB supply meter with an optical reader one vendor’s cloud couldn’t integrate, and clamped the distribution board with another vendor’s CTs. Right sensor, every point, one dashboard.
Working Installations, Not Brochures
Public-Sector Energy Monitoring
Selected by an Irish public-sector organisation in competitive procurement: LoRaWAN energy monitoring reading the ESB supply meter optically and sub-metering three-phase distribution — phase one live from the basement board, designed to expand floor by floor on results.
Storage Units, Monitored for Tenants
A self-storage operator monitors temperature and humidity across units with LoRaWAN sensors and a UG65 gateway — tenants see the conditions their goods are stored in. Monitoring as a selling point, not just a safeguard.
CO2 Before the Retrofit
An IoT Factory CO2 sensor in an older building answered the air-conditioning question with data before anyone spent money on plant — monitoring as the cheapest first step of any refurbishment.
Smart Building Questions, Answered
What is building energy monitoring?
It’s measuring where a building’s electricity, gas, heat and water actually go — live, circuit by circuit — using wireless sensors on distribution boards and existing meters, reporting to a cloud dashboard. It identifies the significant energy users, flags anomalies as they happen, and produces the consumption records EU reporting and ESG obligations require.
Do we need to rewire the building or replace our meters?
No — that’s the point of the wireless approach. Current clamps fit around existing cables, optical readers read the flashing LED on the existing supply meter, and pulse counters attach to existing gas and water meters. Battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors mean no cabling, and one or two gateways typically cover a whole building.
Can we start small and expand?
Yes — the pattern we recommend. Instrument the main board and supply meter first, prove where the waste is, then expand floor by floor on the results. The platform is modular, so air quality, water and occupancy applications switch on when you’re ready, on the same dashboard and gateways.
Whose sensors does it work with?
The platform integrates 700+ device types from many vendors — Milesight, Enless Wireless and others — over LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi and cellular. That openness matters: the right sensor for each point in the building, and no dead end when a need falls outside one vendor’s catalogue.
Does it help with EU energy reporting and ESG?
Yes — continuous monitoring replaces manual meter reads with automated, audit-ready consumption records, sub-metered to system level, with alerts when usage exceeds targets and reports generated for compliance. It turns reporting from an annual scramble into a by-product of running the building.
What does TITAN actually do versus the platform?
We’re the Irish delivery: survey the building, spec the sensor mix, supply and pre-configure the hardware from Galway, commission the platform, and support it after. IoT Factory builds RealPulse; we make it work in your building. One Irish contact for the whole solution.
