Unified, AI-ready building data for smarter, faster, and fully connected buildings.
The OpenBlue Data Platform is the digital foundation beneath every connected building. It unifies and normalizes building data from any system making it instantly usable for AI, analytics, and custom applications across your entire portfolio.
What is the OpenBlue Data Platform?
The OpenBlue Data Platform is a building data platform that connects, standardizes, and delivers real-time data from building systems through a single, developer-friendly interface. It replaces fragmented building systems and protocols with:
- Clean, normalized data across all assets and sites
- Real-time telemetry streams for automation and insights
- API-first access to power applications, analytics, and AI
OpenBlue turns complex building data into a usable, scalable foundation for building management applications.
The Problem: Data-Rich, Insight-Poor Buildings
Modern buildings generate massive amounts of data but most organizations struggle to use it effectively. Common challenges include:
- Fragmented systems (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, OPC UA, and more)
- Data locked in BMS and legacy infrastructure
- Long onboarding and integration timelines
- Inconsistent schemas and poor data quality
The result: valuable data exists but it’s inaccessible, unusable, and slow to deliver value.
The Solution: One Platform for All Your Building Data
The OpenBlue Data Platform removes integration complexity and gives customers direct access to their data. It does this by combining:
The platform uses an industry-standard semantic model for buildings, delivers a consistent structure across all systems and locations, and is optimized for AI, analytics, and digital twins.
Query exactly the data you need with a single endpoint for assets, telemetry, and metadata, and it's developer-friendly and compatible with any tech stack.
Event-driven data delivery (no polling required), stream updates instantly to applications and workflows, and is built for automation, alerts, and AI agents.
