Connecting building intelligence to its digital infrastructure.
NSB combines Smart Building expertise, KNX certification and network and systems engineering to design coherent, reliable and adaptable architectures.
Understand the building. Understand what connects it.
Intelligent systems go beyond the automation bus.
They also rely on networks, IP infrastructure, interfaces and digital systems. Expertise in both areas allows NSB to plan their interactions from the design stage.
Smart Building & digital infrastructure.
This combination allows the project to be approached as a whole, rather than a collection of independent building services.
KNX certification & Smart Building integration
Function design, automation architecture, programming, interoperability and commissioning shaped around building use.
Network & systems engineering
Designing and understanding the infrastructure that supports building communications: IP networks, segmentation, Wi-Fi, racks, interconnections and systems environments.
CONNECT becomes a core professional skill.
Enabling systems to communicate requires an understanding of what happens on both sides of the interface.
NSB considers building functions, automation protocols, network infrastructure and the systems that carry or use information together.
measurements, events
networks, gateways
interfaces, monitoring
A technical view across disciplines.
The areas below are not standalone products, but components of an overall architecture tailored to the project.
Smart Building architecture
Defining functions, interactions, control principles and the overall organisation of intelligent systems.
KNX & automation
Design, programming and commissioning of building automation functions.
Lighting & DALI
Integrating control, dimming and exchanges with the building’s other functions.
IP network architecture
Structuring communications and the infrastructure required by connected equipment.
Segmentation & VLANs
Logical organisation of uses and equipment groups where the project architecture requires it.
Wi-Fi & infrastructure
Planning coverage, equipment locations, cabling, racks and network distribution.
Gateways & protocols
Creating useful interfaces between different technologies without unnecessary dependencies.
Monitoring
Centralising relevant information to make the building easier to control and operate.
Systems engineering
Understanding the systems environments that support the connected building’s services, interfaces and applications.
NSB is KNX certified.
This certification recognises skills directly related to the design, programming and commissioning of solutions based on this open standard. It forms part of a wider approach: selecting and integrating technologies to suit the project, rather than building the project around a brand.
The right language for the right function.
We seek openness and interoperability where they bring real value to the building, its operation and its future development.
Building automation and technical functions.
Digital, addressable lighting control.
Network infrastructure and communication for a wide range of equipment.
Gateways and exchanges between environments where required.
Expertise that does not depend on a single brand.
Technologies are selected according to requirements, project architecture, the desired level of openness and overall consistency.
This area is intentionally reserved: the final list will include only manufacturers, certifications and technologies that NSB actually works with or holds expertise in.
Mastering technology so that it remains in service of the building.
An architecture designed as a whole.
Automation, networks, protocols and systems should not be designed separately when they need to work together. NSB can help from the design stage to build this consistency.
