Critical Alarm Management
An essential part of your building and business continuity & sustainability plans
Taking your Building Management System (BMS) to the next level. Now is the time to prioritize your building and campus alarms. Ensure that someone on the team is catching the ball.
How It Works
Once we prioritize the most critical systems, CALM does the rest.
Communicate
Communicates through text, phone and email (industry standard is email) — tells you what’s wrong and who to call to fix it.
Notify
Establishes a notification tree where facility staff must acknowledge the alarm or it’s escalated to the next individual on the list.
Report
Archives alarm history and notification tracking, available through cloud-based website for analysis and reporting purposes.
Review
Quarterly meeting with you and your team to review the Calm Analytics Dashboard and address patterns with your most frequent alarms.
You stay connected, we provide peace of mind

Who uses it
A consumer products company with a multi-use, multi-building business campus uses CALM (previously known as MDAS) to monitor critical building systems and notify building management of issues.
How it works
One system monitored in its product manufacturing and testing facility is the chiller supporting a deionized water system, which support processes like reverse osmosis, ultraviolet disinfection, and water quality monitoring.
Why it’s important
Unplanned system downtime can lead to weeks of product testing delays and up to $40,000 in de-sanitation expenses. CALM notifications and acknowledgments prevent significant loss.
Learn what to look for when choosing a Critical Alarm Messenger
Building systems will fail. And as building managers, engineers and maintenance teams, it always seems to happen at 2 AM on weekends and holidays. CALM can give you peace of mind and ensure that someone on the team is catching the ball.
Ready to make CALM part of your business continuity and sustainability plan?
Business continuity isn’t a nice-to-have. Incorporating CALM into your risk management and ESG protocols makes building management a preventative measure.
