Building & Energy Management
We help building owners, facility managers and contractors integrate, deploy and support building automation and energy monitoring systems, so HVAC and building services can be monitored, controlled and improved from one place.
Capabilities
Every project starts with a technical survey. The services below are delivered where your site’s equipment, controllers and network are confirmed as compatible.
D. Open protocol & system integration
Open communication protocols let equipment from different manufacturers share data with one supervisory system. That gives building owners more choice and a longer useful life from the equipment they already have.
HVAC, metering, lighting and other systems can be monitored together instead of on separate screens.
Open standards reduce reliance on a single vendor for future changes, expansions and support.
Compatible legacy equipment can often be integrated rather than replaced.
The open building automation protocol over Ethernet/IP networks, used for controller-to-controller and controller-to-supervisor communication, object discovery, alarms, schedules and trends.
BACnet over RS-485 serial trunks, common for field-level controllers. Typically connected to IP networks through routers or gateways.
Register-based protocol over Ethernet, widely used by energy meters, chillers, VFDs and packaged equipment. Integration relies on the manufacturer’s register map.
Serial (RS-485) variant of Modbus for meters and field devices, often brought onto the network through serial-to-IP gateways.
A lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol suited to IoT sensors and to sending building data to cloud platforms and dashboards.
A secure, platform-independent standard for industrial and plant-level data exchange, relevant where building systems meet process or SCADA environments.
Translating between protocols, for example Modbus to BACnet, so devices that do not share a native protocol can report to one supervisory system.
Bringing existing or older equipment into a modern system where it exposes a usable interface, avoiding unnecessary replacement.
Not every protocol or device is supported in every project. Compatibility depends on the equipment, firmware, licensing and documentation available, and is confirmed during the technical survey.
How we work
Building systems vary widely. A structured survey gives you a clear, written view of what can be integrated, what is needed and what is not possible.
Review of existing BMS, controllers, field devices, panels, network and available documentation.
Confirm which equipment exposes which protocols and points, and what gateways or upgrades would be needed.
Agree architecture, point schedules, alarms, trends and dashboards in a written scope.
Configure, test and commission, then hand over documentation and agreed support.
Industries and applications

Our role. DVNext.Tech provides building automation integration, deployment and technical support services. We do not manufacture DDC controllers or proprietary BMS products, and we are not an authorised dealer, OEM, certified integrator or approved partner of any manufacturer.
Where a project needs new controllers, gateways or software licences, suitable options and any manufacturer-specific requirements are identified with you during the survey. Energy and operational improvements depend on each building, its equipment and how it is operated, so we do not quote savings figures before an assessment.
Share details of your building, existing systems and goals, and we will propose a technical survey and next steps.
