ARBS 2026 is Australia’s leading event for HVAC&R, building services, and building technology, bringing together industry leaders, asset owners, engineers, and technology providers.
At ARBS 2026, we’ll be showcasing how building analytics and AI are transforming how buildings are operated, maintained, and optimised. From reducing energy intensity to improving equipment performance and enabling Data-Driven Maintenance (DDM), our platform is designed to deliver measurable operational outcomes across portfolios.
Join us in Melbourne to see how near real-time analytics, advanced fault detection, and AI-driven workflows are helping building teams reduce workload, improve performance, and achieve sustainability targets.
Stand & Exhibition – Meet Bueno at IBTech Alley
