Our Story
As the built environment has become smarter and smarter, it has also started to produce more and more data. This data, however, typically comes from multiple different systems and components, leaving owners with a ton of usable information, which, often, isn’t effectively integrated together. Technology has the potential to simultaneously improve operations, reduce carbon emissions, decrease asset costs, and enhance the end user experience within the built environment. But, without a platform to harness the data into usable information, insights and tools, many of these technologies are often under utilized. At EllisDon, we knew that a digital twin platform could be the solution.
In late 2018, we discovered that most digital twin applications only deliver solutions focused on the building information model (BIM) and the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). In addition, we discovered that there were no solutions that integrated with an asset’s primary building systems or customer-facing systems. In our view, the only way to optimize the built environment and enhance the end user experience was to integrate all data points, and turn it into a tool that provides simple, clear and usable information in real time.
So, we created a solution that does exactly that. We call it EKO.
EKO is an AI-driven digital twin platform that creates a virtual “living” replica of the built environment by seamlessly integrating data from all primary building systems, customer-facing systems, the BIM and the CMMS. By integrating all data points, EKO becomes a platform that aggregates, organizes and applies AI models to all of your asset’s data.
From there, EKO provides users with the essential information they require in an easy to understand, efficient manner through our single pane of glass, mobile and web application.
The best part? EKO provides our clients with the information, insights and tools they need to enhance the operation of their infrastructure, reduce their environmental impact, avoid unnecessary costs through alarm and fault detections, and, ultimately, enhance the end user experience within the built environment.
Why EllisDon
EllisDon is Canada’s leading construction and building services provider, completing over $6 billion worth of revenue annually in every market sector across the globe.
As a market leader in the integration of primary building systems, EllisDon is now expanding into the integration of technology and enterprise management systems with EKO. We have seen firsthand the struggles of disparate building systems, and are fully aware of the value integrated building systems can bring not only our clients, but also their clients.
We are unique in this space due to our extensive experience designing, building and managing large, complex projects, developing close relationships with building and facility stakeholders in all major market sectors throughout the process.
In addition, EllisDon has committed to reducing our operations and value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030. We will also be Net Zero by 2050. EKO will help us, and our clients, get there.
Because of our experience, relationships and sustainability mandate, we are well-positioned to drive industry-wide change, lead the transition towards a net zero future, and ultimately help building owners succeed through their data.
