Naming and labeling of building installations (KBOB guideline “HVAC/Controls Technology”) follow a strict logic: a string of ASCII characters, structured into blocks for location / installation / device / function. Powerful once you understand it, opaque on first contact.
To make this clearer, we’ve put an editable address generator online: you pick each block, and the complete address is built and decoded live.
This tool, wKBOB, is freely accessible on our site, designed for engineering firms and integrators who want to validate a naming convention before rolling it out into building supervision.
Have a project where the KBOB naming convention needs clarifying before deployment into supervision? Let’s talk.

Missing measurement points, controls that do not talk to each other, surprises at commissioning: what it costs to handle controls last, and how to scope them upstream.
Around 4% of losses in the belt transmission and 10% in the asynchronous motor. EC-SWAP replaces the whole assembly without touching the controls or the wiring.
A 0-10 V setpoint and a 0-10 V feedback signal work, but that is all. A bus-connected VAV box gives you thresholds, actual damper position and remote adjustment.
A first conversation is usually enough to define the potential and the scope of the mandate.
