• The Need for Real-Time Data in BMS Projects:
  
• How real-time data improves decision-making, fault detection, and troubleshooting.
• The importance of accurate, up-to-date information for facility managers and project teams.

CB1.2 Role of CUBE Box in Automating Commissioning, Service, and Monitoring

• Automating Commissioning with CUBE Box:
  
• How CUBE Box streamlines commissioning workflows through automation and real-time updates.
  
• Benefits of reducing manual interventions and improving accuracy during the commissioning process.
  
  
• Service Automation:
  
• Automating service requests and technician assignment through CUBE Box.
  
• How CUBE Box enhances operational efficiency by enabling predictive maintenance and troubleshooting.
  
  
• Monitoring Capabilities:
  
• Real-time monitoring of BMS performance using the CUBE Box platform.
  
• How CUBE Box supports continuous monitoring to detect issues before they escalate into major problems.

CB1.3 Core Components of the CUBE Box Platform

• Digital Twin:
  
• Definition and significance of Digital Twin in the BMS context.
  
• How the CUBE Box platform creates and maintains a real-time virtual model of the building's systems.
  
• How Digital Twins aid in visualizing performance, tracking changes, and optimizing system operations.
  
  
• Virtual Technician:
  
• Role of the Virtual Technician in CUBE Box: Automating fault detection, diagnosing issues, and offering actionable insights.
  
• How the Virtual Technician improves system reliability and reduces downtime.
  
  
• Fault Detection:
  
• Introduction to fault detection within CUBE Box.
  
• How the platform identifies system inefficiencies and predicts failures before they occur.
  
• The benefits of early fault detection for proactive maintenance.
  
  
• CUBE Score:
  
• Explanation of the CUBE Score and its use as a performance indicator for BMS systems.
• How the CUBE Score helps project teams assess the efficiency and effectiveness of building systems in real time.

CB1.4 Full Walkthrough of the CUBE Box Interface, Tools, and Site Management Options

• Navigating the CUBE Box Interface:
  
• Introduction to the layout and key components of the CUBE Box dashboard.
  
• Overview of the tools available in CUBE Box for project management and system monitoring.
  
  
• Managing BMS Sites in CUBE Box:
  
• Setting up and managing multiple BMS sites within CUBE Box.
  
• How to link digital twins, monitor system status, and assess performance across sites.
  
  
• Using Fault Detection and Virtual Technician Tools:
  
• Demonstration of how to use fault detection and virtual technician features in CUBE Box.
• Analyzing CUBE Score and actionable insights for site optimization.

Hands-On Preview (Optional if time allows)
