How Build a Commercial Property You Can Control from Anywhere

Insight Automation International has locations across North America including Calgary, Alberta, Kelowna and Victoria, British Columbia, and Phoenix, Arizona, and we are committed to helping you boost productivity in the most important areas of your businesses and commercial spaces. Whether you are updating or designing a conference room, or executive offices, Insight AI has an integrated technology solution for you, controlled through one intuitive system.

It’s time to end the ongoing, time-wasting struggle before meetings trying to get all of the teleconferencing or presentation equipment turned on and ready to go. Insight Automation International has a smart technology solution that will allow you to simply press a single button and have the room do the work for you. You can sit back and relax as the screens lower, the lights dim to an appropriate, predetermined level, and the motorized shades lower to block-out sunlight, the projector turns on, and your presentation starts displaying automatically. This efficient approach will give your staff more time to focus on the important elements of your business and while eliminating the most common frustrations of dealing with commercial technology.

Additionally, an automation system will make it possible for every piece of technology in your office to work together, from lights to thermostats, TVs to projectors, audio systems to communication, and much more. A boardroom or conference room stuck in the stone age surely can't meet the efficiency, productivity, and elegance of a boardroom integrated with the most up-to-date systems modern technology has to offer.

Effective Commercial Space Light Design

Commercial spaces have long undervalued the extensive impact that lighting has on their space. This impact includes the potential for saving energy and lowering energy costs, as well as promoting a more productive atmosphere for their employees and customers. At Insight AI we specialize in light design for commercial spaces, and we know that lighting control offers many opportunities to streamline business efficiencies while also making a space more welcoming and productive. Some examples of how lighting design for commercial space can be implemented include:

• Using occupancy sensors to automatically turn the lights on and off depending on whether the room is in use.
• Adjusting lighting levels based on the ambiance that makes sense for each room — bright for productive office environments or warm and soft in waiting rooms.
• Program the lights to change brightness at certain times throughout the day or adjust to accommodate for the levels of natural light in each space.

In addition to electric lighting, commercial spaces must consider the impact of natural lighting on a space. If you are building, designing, or renovating a commercial space we can help you to harness the power of the sun in order to save money on energy costs and make your workspace that much more natural. With smart sensors that monitor sunlight levels, you can balance natural and artificial light throughout your corporate buildings. Efficiently harnessing natural light will make being in your space more enjoyable and it can also impact the temperature or climate of your commercial space. The commercial automation system keeps track of lighting and temperature levels throughout the building and acts intelligently to balance lighting needs and energy management by dimming artificial lights, raising motorized shades, etc. By investing in daylight harvesting, you can lower the energy bill without any extra effort from your staff members.

Natural Lighting in Commercial Space

Insight Automation International can help you establish a fully automated commercial environment. In a fully automated commercial environment even your window treatments will act intelligently. Automated window treatments will enhance your business, protecting office furniture and equipment from harmful UV rays with shades that automatically lower when too much natural sunlight is detected. We can help you save costs on heating and cooling by using shades to reduce solar heat gain and keep your presentation visuals crisp and clear by blocking out the natural light that would wash out the projector image. With a strong variety of fabrics and patterns to choose from, there's a smart shading solution out there that is perfect for your business environment.

Building a Commercial Space that is Wired for Success

Imagine a work where you can adjust the speaker volume, change the TV channel or input, or play music throughout the office all without ever leaving your seat. Insight Automation International can help this dream become a reality. With an integrated media control system, you will have the ability to manage all of your AV equipment and media from one central touchscreen. Whether the media source is analog, cable, digital, satellite, a streaming service, or something else entirely, you can simplify it all into one streamlined system. Display advertisements across a video wall or play background music from your favorite streaming service. Whether you're seeking a Crestron, Control4, or Savant dealer, whatever your media control needs, we can customize the perfect solution for your Victoria, Kelowna, Phoenix or Calgary business.

Integrated Office Audio Solutions

The intricacies of audio in commercial spaces requires experienced designers and installation to meet the needs of your business. Insight Automation International can support your business with an audio distribution system. This system will ensure that your staff and customers can enjoy music throughout the entire commercial building without having to deal with clunky speakers. The distributed audio is controlled using a central processor and audio matrix switcher, which manages all of the speakers and media remotely so that you can place speakers anywhere in your facility. Wired or wireless, we partner with top-quality audio manufacturers to provide speakers that blend into their environments while delivering clear, pure sound. Integrate your speakers with a control system and experience how easy it is to manage the audio in your commercial space.

Protect Your Business with a Smart Technology Solution

At Insight AI we are business owners, and we know how important your business is to you. Integrated smart technology can be effectively leveraged to provide your commercial space with security that will protect you, your employees, and your customers. Smart cameras can be used to monitor activity in and around a commercial space, while smart locks can help to control access. In addition, smart technology can be used to create virtual boundaries around a space, which can be used to trigger alarms or notifications if someone crosses the line. Finally, using lighting design can help to create an illusion of occupancy or transparency which can discourage intruders.
