eGATE Smart Building Innovation Sensor network technology based (IoT) condition monitoring and analysis of condition data for higher quality conditions on construction sites and completed buildings.
Background • Utilizing sensor network technology (IoT) in business development • Years of experience of the key personnel as a subcontractor in managing construction site conditions and the utilization of digitalization to develop value chains and business processes • How to produce added value to your customers in construction projects and in the life cycle management of completed buildings? • From a construction project to an end-user-focused and administrator-focused maintenance of a completed property
Background in Brief • Business Finland project part 1 (2015-2016) • Business Finland project part 2 (2016-2020) • eGate service production-ready: 1/2018 • 12/2018 Establishment of eGate Smart Building Innovation Oy • Internationalization: 2019 à
Building Life Cycle Condition Monitoring • Wireless sensors and measuring devices measuring multiple variables integrated into a cloud-based platform • Conditions of structures and air • E.g. air temperature and relative humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, particles, VOC, concrete moisture/temperature, structure RH-T, differential pressure • Wireless, reliable, accurate
Measuring Device Configurations (situation in 5/2019) • Concrete coating capability: • RH-T • Measurements from structures: • RH-T • Measurements from air: • RH-T • RH-T-CO2 • RH-T-TVOC • RH-T-DUST PM 0.35-40 • DP
eGate Measuring Device Features • 100% wireless (no coverage problems) • Used by, i.e., all major building constructors • Real-time (10-15 min transfer interval) • Extremely accurate • Cloud-based service (SaaS) • Made in Finland • The number of measured variables increases constantly, i.e. according to customer needs (Radon, brightness, noise…)
Transparent and Accessible Information for Different Stakeholders • Cloud-based service automatically generates visualizations and "monitoring desktops" on customer data • The service enables transparency and efficient utilization of data on the conditions of the contractors, building constructors, operators monitoring/assuring the conditions, and ultimately the end-users of the buildings • Intuitive and easy to use • API Strategy: Data can be transferred to another platform, for example, as part of a building automation system or other existing service/platform.
Terminal Independent and in Real-time • Real-time data transfer • Reporting feature • All data is retained, and can be retrieved, stored and printed for any period of time for any site or measurement point at any time • All data can be imported to, e.g., Excel, as PDF… • Also accessible with mobile devices • E.g. on site foreman's smart phone, supervisor's monitors, or info screens on construction site / schools / office buildings / temporary facilities
Versatile Visualizations and Reporting Options to Perceive the Situation
Pilot case, Cast Sensing • RH-T sensing at site x at a real construction site • On-site testing has demonstrated the functionality: compared to a standard measurement method (Vaisala), the difference in the results was approximately 1.0-1.5 percentage points. • The sensors were in the same holes during the testing > 2 months without any problems. The data remains reliable. • Easy to monitor the coating capability situation -> ease of work management, work planning more efficient • Reduces "site" visits, eliminates the need for drilling, • Waiting time is reduced or completely eliminated -> cost effectiveness -> better margin
SaaS Service Model • The service cost for the customer consists of: Device purchase price + license costs + other services (e.g. potential installation) • eGate license • Customer's own database for storing data of their sites • Sensors/measuring devices with a 2 year warranty • Service level is defined in the contract • eGate Smart Building Innovation Oy continuously develops the service in cooperation with key partners.
Measuring vs. Big Data: Current Situation • Covering current measurement needs wirelessly, accurately, in-real time, transparently (new construction, repair construction, life cycle projects..) • Comparable and high-quality data stored in one place transparently and accessible to all parties • Better quality of construction • Monitoring the conditions of completed buildings and early intervention, transparency
Measuring vs. Big Data: The Future! • The data collected during the entire life cycle of the building must be achievable, further process able and analyzable in order to develop the processes, quality and business operations. • Development of construction processes based on data: From design to implementation. • Condition data as part of Smart City projects / data models (BIM) • Condition data to contribute to the control of building automation systems • Data mining / research as an integral part of the organization's operations • = SUPERIOR COMPETITIVE EDGE!

Janita Ojala , Skanska Talonrakennus Oy's Trainee Supervisor, also considers the eGate system useful. Se actively monitors the results on a daily basis. “The screen tells you immediately if the concrete is not drying or if the temperatures are low. This way we can, for example, adjust heaters to quickly generate more heat.”

The aim is to measure the relative humidity and temperature of the building in different sections of the construction site during the construction phase.
Abbreviations and Concepts • T = Temperature • RH= Relative humidity • CO2 = Carbon dioxide • DP = Differential pressure • DUST PM 0.35-40 = dust particles • The sensor measures, and the application calculates the quantity of particles of 0.35-40 micrometers • Quantity per cubic meter of air or micrograms per m3 of air. Particles are, for example, small emissions of traffic, etc. (the most harmful to humans because they are partly • emanated to the alveolus, bloodstream, etc.) • VOC = Volatile organic compounds • Smog factor, as they react with nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight, thus forming troposphere ozone • Ozone in the troposphere is harmful to humans, animals and vegetation • TVOC = total voc concentration • Does not specify what and how much, but how much volatile organic compounds are in the air • TVOC = total voc concentration
