Advanced building automation & technology

Introduction

Better living for everyone

We’re spending more and more time away from home — at work, in education, shopping or travelling. Building technology plays a vital role in creating healthier, more comfortable workplaces, schools, hospitals, hotels and public buildings.

Priva develops sustainable building automation solutions for building management, energy control and personal comfort. Using our technological expertise, we create systems that deliver a healthy indoor climate for every building user while reducing the overall CO₂ footprint. In doing so, we support facility managers, building owners and investors in creating energy-efficient, future-ready buildings where people truly thrive.

What is building automation?

Building automation is the automated, often digital, monitoring and control of building systems such as climate, energy and lighting. In larger or existing buildings, maintaining oversight over building performance can be complex due to varied spaces, legacy systems and rising energy costs. Building automation brings these systems together, giving you insight, control and optimisation across the entire building.

Key building automation components

Building automation systems are flexible and suitable for all building types. They can include sensors, controllers and automation for measuring and regulating various parameters such as:

temperature and humidity
occupancy and movement
indoor air quality (CO₂)
lighting and shading

Together, these components enable fully automated climate and energy control.

Automatic room and zone control

Individual room and zone control allows individual climate settings per space, regardless of building type. It doesn't matter whether it's an office, hospital, school, or industrial environment. Solutions such as the Priva Comforte line connect all installations to one central system, improving comfort in each room. The result? The building meets individual climate preferences, increased comfort, reduced energy use and more efficient building management.
