Data Clearing House

Get an understanding of Data Clearing House (DCH), why it's valuable for system integrators and what it will help you achieve

DCH at a glance

Data Clearing House (DCH) is a data integration, management and application enablement platform. It's a single source of truth for accessing a wide range of energy and building data. DCH connects Internet of Things (IoT) systems from buildings and supports complex data analytics.

DCH connects and centralises data from IoT sensors, third-party and native BMS applications and building control systems

Why choose DCH?

DCH reduces the risk and effort of integrating and maintaining disparate building data so you can build trust and confidence in your client relationships.

What DCH can help you achieve

Explore the key features we've designed to simplify your work processes and help you facilitate the best use of data for your clients.

Preserve data ownership

Clients have complete ownership of their data, irrespective of service providers

✔ Preserve the integrity of building data across systems

✔ Stay flexible to chose the best application for your client's needs

✔ Maintain legacy data upon import

✔ Remove data from DCH at will, exporting it as a CSV that preserves structure

Meet industry standard security requirements

Meet your client's security needs and provide control over who has access to data sources, and how they can use them

✔ Client's can manage the level of access users have on an individual or group basis

✔ Encrypt data in flight

Centralise and normalise data

Easily integrate time-series data from; building control systems, IoT sensors and a broad range of third party sources

✔ Consolidate building data in one place

✔ Visualise and navigate time-series data for portfolio level insights and actions with semantic models

Accelerate building onboarding

Onboarding tools that help automate tagging and mapping and preserve compatibility across systems

✔ Automate tagging and mapping with semantic model based onboarding tools

✔ Validate and maintain data quality

✔ Powerful querying to find data with contextual information fast

Plug and play

✔ Support the easy deployment of complex applications, like Fault Detection and Diagnosis by normalising data in a structured framework

✔ Access native BMS provider applications

✔ Access a suite of third party applications that range from energy efficiency, operational efficiency and improving occupant experience

✔ Lower implementation costs by connecting data to third party applications using the DCH API

✔ Deploy applications across client buildings with the click of a button

How it works

1. Use DCH tools to easily integrate time-series data from; building control systems, IoT sensors and a broad range of third party sources​.

2. Consolidate building data in structured framework using a standard schema (Brick).

3. Map equipment, sensor and associated building data with standard schema based automated/semi automated mapping tools.

4. Use building points list and equipment meta data to create, validate and visualise building data-models.

5. Initiate and run data health audits with semantic model based data quality tool kit

6. Install applications across client buildings with the click of a button, facilitated by building models.

At DCH, we believe that safeguarding the integrity of building data is paramount to driving innovation in sustainable and efficient building operation
