Access to building data is fragmented across vendors, protocols, security models, and ownership boundaries. Most analytics failures occur not because insights are wrong, but because data cannot be accessed reliably, securely, or at scale.

The Secure Building Data Access Connector is a read-only, analytics-neutral infrastructure layer that enables standardized access to building system data without altering control authority, data ownership, or native architectures.

The connector is deployed within the customer’s security boundary and respects existing authentication, permissions, and governance policies.

• No control authority or write access

• No changes to native architectures

• No vendor-specific reconfiguration

• No forced point renaming

Data ownership, operational context, and security posture remain fully intact.

The connector exposes data exactly as it exists.

Multiple analytics platforms may consume the same trusted data source simultaneously — including utility systems, OEM platforms, owners, and third-party analytics providers.

Pathian analytics may consume the data, but the connector itself remains independent of any single analytics engine, preserving customer choice and avoiding vendor lock-in.

Beyond data access, the connector delivers the analytical context required to interpret performance immediately.

This includes standardized definitions for:

• Required point sets

• Performance relationships

• Tasks, tests, and event triggers

• Mathematical functions and evaluation logic

This context is provided without prescribing execution or control behavior, enabling consistent measurement from the moment data is connected.

By separating data access from analytics and action, the connector functions as durable infrastructure rather than a project-specific integration.

This enables:

• Scalable portfolio analytics

• Regulatory and compliance reporting

• Continuous performance verification

All while maintaining security, transparency, and customer ownership.

The Secure Building Data Access Connector removes the primary barrier to scale — not by forcing standardization at the system level, but by enabling shared, trusted access to data and analytical context.

It is the foundation that allows measurement to scale without disruption.
