A mobile application designed to help building management teams monitor and diagnose HVAC and facility system issues in real time. By integrating live fault monitoring, predictive alerts, and actionable recommendations, the app streamlines issue resolution and minimizes downtime. Users receive urgent alarms, can analyze fault data, and track system conditions through an intuitive interface, empowering them to take proactive maintenance actions efficiently.

01

The Problem

Facility managers struggle to diagnose and resolve HVAC and system faults efficiently, leading to prolonged downtime, increased maintenance costs, and disruptions in critical operations. Without real-time insights and predictive alerts, issues escalate, reducing overall system reliability and efficiency.

02

The Solution

Controls NYC is a mobile app that helps facility managers efficiently monitor and diagnose HVAC and system faults in real time. By analyzing live data and providing predictive alerts, the app offers actionable recommendations to resolve issues before they escalate. Users can track system conditions, receive urgent alarms, and access troubleshooting insights through an intuitive interface. By streamlining maintenance workflows and reducing downtime, Controls NYC enhances operational efficiency and ensures critical systems remain reliable and functional.

03

Target Demographic

Facility managers who need real-time insights to maintain system efficiency and reduce downtime

  1. Building engineers responsible for diagnosing and troubleshooting HVAC and equipment faults

  2. Operations teams looking to streamline maintenance workflows and improve response times

  3. Organizations managing critical infrastructure, such as hospitals, laboratories, and data centers, where system failures can have severe consequences

  4. Professionals who value intuitive and data-driven technology to enhance facility performance and predictive maintenance

04

Future Improvements

Requests from management limited the scope of the project. Here’s some things I would love to implement for future iterations:

01

Rewording the language of alerts to simplify explanations with an option to view detailed logs.

02

Adding a feature for users to log their actions to track maintenance history and interventions.

03

Incorporating a dashboard that consolidates multiple system alarms for an at-a-glance status update.

04

Introducing a quick-access sidebar or tab navigation for seamless transitions between alerts, diagnostics, and reports.
