SAUTER Belgium and Thersa join forces to deliver innovative HVAC service concepts
Thersa, a Belgian specialist in heating, plumbing, ventilation and eco-energies, realises efficient and cost-conscious building management solutions. In collaboration with SAUTER, the company has established an impressive service concept.
Even in the digital era of building management, operators of smaller or medium-sized projects often question whether the costs for conversion, installation, operation and hosting of such building management systems (BMS) are affordable. However, adapted and cost-oriented solutions for smaller plants do exist. Belgian HVAC contractor Thersa aims to deliver data-based building management of projects of all sizes. In 2023, Thersa teamed up with SAUTER Belgium to develop and implement a concept that allows them to provide smart building management services for all different needs.
The solution
he web-based integration platform SAUTER Vision Center (SVC) is the central element of the service concept. This comprehensive tool for building, energy and service management serves as the joint interface for all data collected in the corresponding buildings. It also enables the comfortable and location-independent control, analysis and visualisation of all building functions. Thanks to the modular principle, SVC can be used for nearly all operator-specific requirements.
Thersa offers building operators software-as-a-service access by installing the system on company servers. Customers benefit from the full functionality without having to set up complex IT infrastructure. For the direct and location-independent provision of the SVC access, Thersa relies on SAUTER Remote Management – a service from the SAUTER Cloud that enables risk-free remote access to the application through user authentication and secure network connection.
On-premise data acquisition and communication with SVC is carried out via the SAUTER automation system modulo 6. This innovative system series stands for excellent performance with minimal space requirements. Due to its modular setup, it enables maximum configuration flexibility. The encrypted data transfer according to the safety standard BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) fulfils IT requirements regarding information security. On behalf of Thersa, SAUTER Belgium takes care of technical support and hence ensures the smooth operation of customer systems.
The result
The collaboration with SAUTER empowers Thersa to offer customised service concepts for various sectors and purposes of building usage. The high degree of individualisation of SAUTER solutions and the hosting of the SVC platform on Thersa servers make digital building management affordable for smaller and medium-sized project scopes. Several buildings – from a museum to a clinic and an exhibition centre – already benefit from these building management services.
