TEMPORARY BUILDINGS T
raditional building management systems (BMS) often require extensive wiring and infrastructure that can make them unsuitable for temporary structures. This is where Sontay’s innovative sensing technologies,
including the SORA range and LoRaWAN connectivity, come into play, offering a wireless solution for temporary buildings.
WHAT IS SORA?
Sontay’s SORA range of sensors are designed solution for monitoring environmental conditions in both permanent and temporary buildings. The SORA sensors utilise LoRaWAN protocol that enables reliable communication over long distances without the need for complex wiring.
LoRaWAN’s ability to operate without the need for a direct connection to a centralised network makes it a perfect match for temporary buildings. These structures often frequently based on changing needs. With SORA and LoRaWAN, sensors can be easily relocated as the layout evolves, without the hassle of
FLEXIBILITY IN TEMPORARY BUILDINGS challenge; the need for effective control and monitoring without the permanence of traditional infrastructure. In many cases, these buildings are added alongside a permanent structure and their data needs to be integrated into the existing control strategies of the permanent building. This integration is crucial for maintaining optimal environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and air quality.
Sontay’s SORA range, in combination with LoRaWAN, allows for the effortless transfer of data from sensors placed in temporary buildings to the permanent building’s control system. The wireless nature of these sensors means they can be placed anywhere within the temporary building, without worrying about the limitations of physical wiring. When changes to the layout occur, these sensors can be simply moved to new locations, ensuring that the monitoring and control of the environment is never disrupted. Additionally, because SORA sensors are a permanent power supply or complex wiring, making them ideal for temporary installations. they can operate reliably for extended periods.
BMS FOR TEMPORARY BUILDINGS With the addition of a gateway or app, crucial environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, air quality and occupancy. These sensors can then be used to control heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, ensuring that temporary buildings remain comfortable and

TEMPORARY BUILDINGS WITH SORA AND LORAWAN
Temporary buildings, whether used for construction sites, pop-up offices, event venues or other short-term purposes, present unique challenges when it comes to managing environmental conditions.
hardwired system. They can also offer detection building fabrics are always protected. This mini BMS capability is particularly valuable in settings like construction sites or event venues, where the occupants may have varying needs depending on the time of day or season. By leveraging LoRaWAN, these sensors can connect to the main building’s energy management and environmental control, regardless of the temporary building’s transitory nature.
such as the SORA range, offer an extremely temporary buildings. Unlike traditional building management systems, which can involve costly installation of wired sensors and controllers, keeps installation simple and inexpensive. Additionally, their ability to be moved and repurposed across multiple projects means that the investment in these sensors can be spread

data collection, which can be accessed remotely, providing managers and facilities teams with the insights they need to make informed decisions. Whether it is adjusting HVAC systems for better remains within acceptable ranges, or controlling lighting and other building systems, SORA control at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.
Whether it is a construction site, an event solution for managing the environmental conditions of temporary buildings. As the sustainable building solutions grows, Sontay’s SORA and LoRaWAN technologies are
