AMENITIES = VALUE, TECHNOLOGY = GREATER VALUE
Your building or leased space can benefit from incorporating flexible Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology-based infrastructure materials and open architecture software to enhance productivity and provide occupants with a healthy, happy, and collaborative workplace.
For owners, it means quicker lease-up time and higher rental rates attainable as occupants seek ESG-compliant alternatives, which PoE offers by the transmission of both data and electrical power through the same Ethernet cables.

FOUR ADVANTAGES OF CREATING
INTELLIGENT OFFICE BUILDINGS
Sustainability
PoE technology has the potential to significantly accelerate compliance with sustainability goals in commercial buildings and spaces. Traditional electrical systems require separate cables for data/controls and power, increasing the amount of materials needed for installation. PoE technology eliminates the need for different cables, reducing the materials required and the waste generated. Future changes are as simple as unplugging and plugging in an RJ45 Jack. PoE technology is more energy-efficient than traditional electrical systems, as it reduces energy loss during transmission across the line, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
UP TO
- 80% Embodied Carbon Savings
- Up to 25% Reduction in Installation Costs
- 8-10% in consumptive energy reduction
Improved Building Efficiency
PoE technology can improve efficiency in the ongoing operations of commercial buildings/spaces by simplifying installation and reducing maintenance requirements. Integrated devices can be installed and configured more quickly and efficiently than traditional electrical systems. With AI-based building management software, remote device management, and maintenance, triage is becoming more readily available, reducing downtime and the need for on-site visits.
Security
PoE technology improves a building’s cyber security integrity related to security cameras and access control systems, providing greater coverage and reducing blind spots. Additionally, with the proper redundancy, PoE technology can ensure that these systems remain functional even during a power outage, ensuring security measures remain in place during emergencies.
Workforce Retention & Enhanced Wellbeing
PoE technology can help bring workers back to their designated place of work and offer the workforce greater flexibility and adaptable working environments. Individual choices for temperature and lighting scenes using integrated PoE-enabled LED lighting and mechanical systems will improve employee comfort and productivity. Cyber secure PoE-based Wireless access points can also provide better connectivity, improving remote working capabilities and reducing the need for in-person meetings.
Sensors integrated with the building’s IoT can monitor real-time air quality and adjust ventilation systems to ensure optimal O2 levels, air circulation, and filtration. This improved indoor air quality reduces the risk of respiratory illnesses and allergies among employees. In addition, PoE-enabled lighting can be automated to mimic natural lighting, promoting a healthy circadian rhythm, reducing eye strain and headaches, and even contributing to meeting neurodiversity goals. These minor improvements in environmental factors can contribute to a more comfortable and healthy work environment, ultimately leading to happier and more productive employees.
