Pages for the facilities team

These pages come from real projects and from our own design concepts, shown with sample values and no client details. Each page shows the plant and the readings the facilities team uses to run it.

Pages from real projects

These pages were drawn for real projects. They are shown with sample values, and the client's name, logo and room names are taken out. On these projects the client chose Tridium's standard Niagara symbols. The design concepts further down use our own.

Case study: a university building

The building has a boiler house with CHP, hot and cold water services, heat recovery and MVHR units, rooms across three floors, and gas, water and heat metering. We drew the supervisor pages in our library style, with a home page, a page for each plant system, the rooms and the meters.

Case study: a student accommodation block

A touchscreen in the plant room shows the air source heat pumps, the plate heat exchangers for hot water, cold water storage and boosting, the meters and the schedules. We drew the panel pages for kiosk use, so nothing opens a pop-up or drops out of the display.

  • Touchscreen panel home page with a tile for each plant system (open full size)

Design concepts

These are concepts we drew to show how pages can be laid out. Each one is shown on a demo building with sample values.
