Turning Building Data Into Real Competitive Advantage With 4Sight’s Built Environment Solutions

24 November 2025
Across commercial buildings, campuses, factories, and mixed-use developments, one challenge remains constant: data exists everywhere - but meaningful, real-time insight rarely does.

From inefficient HVAC systems and rising energy costs to ESG compliance pressure and fragmented IT/OT environments, organisations are being forced to do more with less while proving measurable impact.

At 4Sight, we’re helping our clients move beyond reactive operations and into a world of predictive, automated, insight-driven decision-making - powered by Microsoft IoT Operations and Microsoft Fabric.

 

The Problems Most Building Operators Face

Many organisations still struggle with:

  • Inefficient energy usage due to lack of real-time visibility
  • IT and OT data locked in silos
  • Increasing demands for ESG and sustainability reporting
  • HVAC systems that are costly and underperforming
  • Complex tenant metering and energy accountability

These issues don’t just affect sustainability scores - they impact cost, operational efficiency, compliance, and tenant satisfaction.
