ExchangeIQ - A digital enablement & commissioning platform

As the core platform within LMG's suite of software solutions designed for digital project delivery in smart building management, ExchangeIQ empowers building owners and operators with real-time, automated asset, connectivity management and point data validation.

Introducing ExchangeIQ

Unlike traditional platforms, ExchangeIQ enables seamless device commissioning, data validation, and integration across multiple protocols. It goes beyond just monitoring building performance by ensuring that all devices are correctly connected, configured, and compliant with industry standards.

ExchangeIQ provides a deep level of assurance for smart building and asset performance, enabling software platform selection to be decoupled from the project MEP programme, reducing programme and financial risk. With its robust digital infrastructure and automated processes, ExchangeIQ enables landlords and owner/occupiers to seamlessly adopt a smart building software platform of their choice at the right time.

From many to one

ExchangeIQ serves as a central platform repository for:

  • Device Discovery:
    • Automatically identifying all smart assets on the building services network
  • Data Harmonisation:
    • Transforming unstructured data into a standardised format for readability, particularly in situations where multiple naming conventions may exist
  • Device Commissioning:
    • Validating device configuration and communication
  • Data Validation:
    • Ensuring data accuracy and compliance

A living resource

ExchangeIQ simplifies the smart building commissioning process by offering rapid, low-cost, and low-risk deployment of OT/IT devices. Its automated device discovery feature ensures that all devices are accurately identified and configured, reducing errors and optimising performance from the start. By leveraging BIM data, ExchangeIQ aligns physical assets with their digital twins, enabling better monitoring and operational efficiency.

ExchangeIQ is designed to be smart platform agnostic, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with various systems and technologies, giving building owners more flexibility. Additionally, ExchangeIQ provides a dynamic digital operations and maintenance manual that continuously updates in real-time, offering a living resource that evolves with the building for ongoing maintenance and system optimisation.

Streamlining workflows

Integrating ExchangeIQ into a project workflow enables:

  • Network Scanning and Data Conformance:
    • Thoroughly scan the building network and verify that all devices are publishing the correct data as specified
  • Automated Reviews:
    • Implement automated checks on naming conventions, data points, and device status to guarantee data accuracy, consistency, and early issue detection
  • Manual Commissioning Support:
    • Streamline the manual commissioning process by enabling physical point testing and verification against client specifications
  • Progress Tracking and Reporting:
    • Utilise Exchange IQ’s dashboard and reporting functionalities to monitor project progress, identify potential bottlenecks, and ensure supply chains adhere to the agreed-upon program

Flexibility, control, efficiency

ExchangeIQ delivers a range of powerful benefits that streamline the construction and ultimately the operation of smart buildings, providing flexibility and reducing risks. By enabling the construction MEP programme to be decoupled from the building’s digital transformation process, ExchangeIQ allows different phases of a project to proceed independently. This separation offers significant flexibility, helping to mitigate financial and technological risks that often arise when timelines are tightly linked. The platform empowers clients with greater choice and control over their smart building solutions. By offering flexibility in selecting smart platform vendors, ExchangeIQ gives building owners commercial and contractual leverage, resulting in a lower cost of ownership.

ExchangeIQ also provides ongoing support services with real-time access to asset and connectivity data. This trusted, up-to-the-minute information reduces maintenance costs, optimises service availability, and minimizes Mean Time to Repair (MTTR). ExchangeIQ ensures a holistic ROI by delivering predictable, low-cost data acquisition whilst facilitating smarter outcomes. This powerful combination of flexibility, control, and efficiency provides substantial value, making ExchangeIQ an indispensible tool for modern smart building construction.
