Legrand UK & Ireland has reinforced its dedication to supporting building and facility managers with the launch of WEOZ, an innovative Internet of Things (IoT)-based intelligent building management solution. Designed as an alternative to traditional building management systems, WEOZ offers a user-friendly IoT ecosystem centered around a network of area managers to optimize energy efficiency in buildings.

WEOZ integrates essential building functions such as lighting control, air quality monitoring, and metering into a seamless system, providing a holistic approach to energy efficiency. The solution recently earned the title of Best New Digital Technology at the CIBSE Build2Perform SDE Digital Awards 2024, a testament to its groundbreaking value and impact.

Optimized for Small and Medium Spaces

Ideal for small to medium-sized spaces and multi-site operations—such as offices, schools, restaurants, and retail locations—WEOZ combines operational efficiency with a focus on occupant well-being. It offers building managers real-time insights into occupancy levels, enabling them to adjust room conditions dynamically. For retailers, these occupancy insights extend to footfall analysis, delivering additional business intelligence.

Scalable and Compatible for Seamless Integration

WEOZ connects multi-protocol area managers using edge data and rules management, creating an affordable, scalable solution. It is compatible with Legrand’s own energy efficiency solutions, such as Light Up sensors and EMDX 3 metering, as well as third-party systems like Airzone HVAC controls. This flexibility allows building managers to scale the system according to their building’s needs while ensuring compatibility with existing technologies.

Driving Energy Efficiency and Comfort

“By bringing together our key energy efficiency solutions, WEOZ empowers building managers to gain deeper insights into how their spaces are used, enabling more effective adjustments to heating, lighting, and other systems,” said Yoshi Kubota, Head of Products – CP Electronics at Legrand. “With WEOZ, managers gain unprecedented control and real-time data, enabling informed decisions that create efficient, comfortable environments for occupants.”

Leading the Future of Building Management

The launch of WEOZ underscores Legrand’s commitment to addressing the challenges of modern building management. By collaborating closely with building and facility managers, electrical contractors, and real estate investors, Legrand continues to transform spaces where people live, work, and gather—improving lives through smarter, more sustainable solutions.

WEOZ represents the next step in Legrand’s mission to redefine intelligent building management for a more efficient and sustainable future.
