As buildings grow more complex and performance expectations rise, traditional approaches to Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) are struggling to keep up. Too many alerts, too little prioritisation, and limited validation of outcomes have left operational teams overwhelmed and reactive.
Demand Logic is addressing this challenge with a major upgrade to Breachbot, an automated feature designed to monitor building management systems (BMS) for environmental, safety, or operational “breaches.”
By combining advanced root-cause diagnostics with the intelligence of our Scoring Engine, this release transforms how faults are identified, prioritised, and resolved. The result is a more focused, outcome-driven approach to building performance, where every alert matters, and every fix is proven.
With the new Breachbot, clients can:
Eliminate alert fatigue and focus on what truly matters
Ensure fixes are effective, not just completed
Quantify the value of operational work in real terms
Align day-to-day maintenance with long-term performance goals
Explore the new capabilities
🤖 Smarter Breachbot: Less noise, more action
Systems rarely operate in a simple “working” or “failed” state. Traditional FDD tools often flag every minor deviation, creating alert fatigue and distracting teams from what really matters.
The enhanced Breachbot changes that. By aligning fault detection with performance scoring, alerts are now prioritised based on their real-world impact on energy, comfort, and maintenance.
What this unlocks:
⏱️ The Review Window: From task completion to proven outcomes
One of the biggest challenges in building operations is the “false fix”, when a task is marked complete, but the underlying issue persists.
The new Review Window solves this by validating fixes against live data. Breaches remain active until system performance demonstrates that the issue has genuinely been resolved over a defined period.
What it unlocks:
📡 Expanded Breach Library: Deeper, more comprehensive monitoring
This release introduces a significant expansion of Breachbot’s monitoring capabilities, enabling broader and more granular fault detection across building systems.
New breach types include advanced plant fault detection, heating and cooling delivery issues, AHU filter performance monitoring, and terminal unit inefficiencies such as simultaneous heating and cooling.
What it unlocks:
🌬️ Smarter IEQ Monitoring: Alerts that reflect real conditions
Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is critical to occupant wellbeing, but traditional alerting often reacts too quickly to short-lived fluctuations. Breachbot now incorporates “time-in-breach” logic, ensuring alerts reflect sustained performance issues rather than momentary spikes.
What it unlocks:
📊 Automated Impact Ratings: Every action tied to ROI
To bridge the gap between operational activity and strategic outcomes, Breachbot now automatically assigns impact ratings to every generated action.
Each task is linked to Energy, Comfort, and Maintenance benefits, making it easier to quantify value across teams and portfolios.
What it unlocks:
🛠️ Administrator Configuration Suite: Control at your fingertips
This upgrade also introduces a new configuration layer for Account Administrators, enabling streamlined management of Breachbot within their portfolio. With dedicated views for Breachsets, Breaches by class, and Breaches by asset, users can adjust configuration at both a global and granular level.
What it unlocks:
Turning insight into impact
This Breachbot upgrade reflects our continued commitment to making building intelligence actionable, measurable, and aligned with real-world performance.
By connecting our automated fault detection with impact and validation, we empower teams to work smarter, reduce waste, and deliver meaningful results across energy, comfort, and cost.
