Your building says everything is fine. So why are the people inside uncomfortable?

A meeting room feels stuffy. An office is always too cold. The building management system reports normal conditions.

But the people using the space tell a different story.

This is where 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘃𝟮, developed by KnowNow Information, offers a different way to understand building performance.

Rather than looking at sensor readings in isolation, Entelligently brings together what people experience with what the building is actually doing.

With its latest capabilities, Entelligently can:

• Capture real feedback from building occupants.

• Connect environmental data with existing building systems.

• Use spatial digital twins to understand conditions at room and zone level.

• Apply AI-assisted analysis to help interpret information from different sources.

The result is a richer picture of how a building works, where problems occur and what might be causing them.

And importantly, you don't need a brand-new smart building to get started.

Better building intelligence starts with understanding the people inside.

We're looking for a small number of organisations interested in exploring Entelligently v2 through real-world deployments.

Could your building be one of them?

More data doesn't always mean better decisions.

Organisations collect information every day. Customer details, operational records, website analytics and much more.

But how often do we stop and ask whether we actually need all of it?

Collecting unnecessary data can mean:

• Higher storage and management costs
• More information to organise and maintain
• Additional privacy and security responsibilities
• Greater difficulty identifying what really matters

Good data management isn't about collecting everything.

It's about understanding what data is useful, why it's needed and how to manage it responsibly.

Sometimes, having less data, but understanding it better, is far more valuable.

When was the last time your organisation reviewed the data it collects?

Sometimes, the best improvement starts with understanding how things already work.

Before introducing new software, automation or AI, it's worth asking:

• Is the current process clearly understood?
• Are there unnecessary steps slowing things down?
• Is the right information available when it's needed?
• Could the problem be solved by simplifying the process?

Technology can make good processes faster and more effective.

But automating an inefficient process doesn't necessarily make it a better one.

At 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, we believe understanding the problem should always come before choosing the technology.

What's one process in your organisation you'd simplify before automating?

Your business might need better technology decisions, not more technology.

Technology is meant to solve problems. But without clear direction, it can sometimes create new ones.

Many organisations invest in new software, automation or AI without first asking some important questions:

• Does this technology solve a real business problem?
• Will it work with our existing systems?
• Are we investing in the right priorities?
• Who is responsible for our long-term technology strategy?
• Are we getting real value from our technology investments?

You don't always need a full-time Chief Technology Officer to answer these questions.

But you do need the right expertise.

That's where CTO as a Service can help.

At KnowNow Information, we help organisations make informed technology decisions by understanding their business needs, reviewing existing systems and identifying practical opportunities for improvement.

Because good technology leadership isn't about adopting every new tool. It's about knowing what your organisation needs, why it matters and how to make it work.

Who guides technology decisions in your organisation? Are they driven by business needs or by the technology itself?

Before you ask what AI can do with your data, ask whether you understand your data.

If your team works with incomplete records or information scattered across different systems, adding AI will not automatically solve those problems.

Start with one task you want to improve, then ask:

• What information do we have, and what is missing?
• Where does it come from?
• Who is responsible for keeping it up to date?
• Is it reliable enough for this task?
• How does it move between people and systems?

At KnowNow, we use the Data Management Canvas, co-created with Energy Systems Catapult, to help teams understand their data before making technology decisions.

Tracing the information needed for one everyday decision is a practical place to start. It can help you identify what needs to change before introducing AI.

Today is 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆.

Behind reliable data, trusted AI and effective digital services are standards that help make technology consistent, secure and interoperable.

As organisations adopt new technologies and increasingly rely on data to make decisions, good standards become even more important. They provide the foundations for quality, governance and trust, helping different systems, teams and technologies work together effectively.

At KnowNow Information, we see this across data management, AI and digital transformation: innovation works best when it is built on strong foundations.

Entelligently v2 is designed for the reality of real buildings, rather than assuming it away.

A large organisation might have a new building with an excellent BMS sitting alongside buildings from a different technological era, with proprietary controls, ageing equipment or very little connectivity at all.

The important question isn’t whether all those sources look the same. It’s whether Entelligently can understand what they are telling us about the building.
