A New Normal: Touchless offices in the post-pandemic world
Text by BABG 2020/08

In the post-pandemic world, the healthy workplace is required to have good air quality and ventilation so that we should strive to build a touchless office, allowing even hundreds of employees to work together in their offices at ease.

Delta Controls smart building automation solution build up the touchless offices

Building access systems, meeting room booking systems, indoor temperature control systems, lighting control systems and automatic blinds commonly found in offices are controlled separately by various controllers or touch panels, which are risky infection points. The building automation system integrates the central communication hubs of the facilities via IP communication and utilizes the user-centric design to allow only dedicated individuals access to the systems via mobile app, so as to avoid contacting those risky infection points. With the prevailing IoT protocols such as MQTT, the building automation system can also use the communication protocols to control devices which are used every day but rarely integrated into the system such as a television. Other communication protocols such as Bluetooth, IR communication and API can also be integrated to create an even more comprehensive touchless work environment.

With the right building system, corporations need to be working on touchless offices as for the core of their return-to-work strategy. Welcome to the new normal.
