How It Works

Smarter service starts here.

Gardiner DS isn’t just another tech widget with a flashy dashboard—it’s a game-changer for building maintenance. We turn millions of data points into clear, actionable insights, so you know exactly what needs attention and when. No more guesswork, no more wasted effort—just a smarter way to keep your building running at its best.
Start with Data

How it

  • We start out by reading your Building Management System (BMS) data from your IP devices or server via supported protocols.
  • A software gateway is then installed on your existing BMS workstation, server, or virtual machine.
  • An HTTPS outbound only connection is established where your data is securely pushed out to your cloud.

  • We then identify the equipment in your building using classifications, variables, and point types to enable the Fault Detection & Diagnostic (FDD) process.
  • Your equipment is then modeled as a digital twin in the Clockworks Analytics platform. Our partnership with Clockworks is a key component of Gardiner Data Services, enabling us to bring the most powerful building analytics engine in the world to every client.

  • By modeling your building system data, we can better identify faults and diagnose any issues in a way that’s consistent and in a machine-readable format. This enables our analytics to scale up without relying on any human translators

  • Diagnostics is the second D in FDD. Unlike traditional HVAC alarms that alert you into reactive mode, by taking it a step further and diagnosing the problem, we’re able to identify the root cause to help building teams spend less time troubleshooting issues and more time fixing them. And better yet, prevent them from happening again in the future!
  • Gardiner's team of analytics engineers, building automation experts and mechanical service technicians review, validate and prioritize all diagnostics prior to a task being created, ensuring that your analytics program doesn't just replicate the sea of BAS alarms that you are already likely seeing.

  • Armed with a prioritized list of your most pressing issues, our team will get to work. Some issues we may be able to address remotely. Others, we’ll field verify and agree on a course of action. A number of issues, we’ll be able to correct on the spot.
  • The power of Gardiner ds is in our flexibility. The diagnostics and tasks provide a framework to work the way YOU think you can best make progress in your building, whether it's our team doing the work, your team or even another outside source.
  • By identifying patterns and relationships between data points, we can better mitigate any future problems.

Maintenance

Say "hello" to predictive maintenance. Get real-time insights to drive smarter decisions.

Performance insights.

Run in-depth diagnostics to quantify the avoidable energy costs of each identified performance issue and prioritize by impacts to energy, comfort, and maintenance in your building.

Diagnostics.

View top diagnostic findings with automated fault explanations and graphs. Sort by portfolio, building, equipment class, or analysis type to explore specific operations and optimize Facilities Maintenance activities.

Tasks.

Create tasks from diagnostics to track work orders and projects. Assign tasks, monitor progress, and sort by building, equipment, or user for streamlined collaboration.

Impact reporting.

Get a “top-down” view of your building, system, and equipment performance and the impacts to your energy, comfort, and operational savings.
