Alerton at IHEA 2026: Building Automation that Reduces Facility Risk

We are pleased to welcome Alerton as a sponsor of the IHEA National Conference 2026. Alerton delivers building controls, automation and management solutions that help facilities teams improve building performance and manage operational risk, including in complex healthcare environments.

Building automation for high-stakes environments

Hospitals depend on building services that perform consistently, even when infrastructure is ageing, budgets are tight, and clinical operations cannot pause. Alerton’s approach to building automation emphasises integrated, scalable systems and interoperability, with solutions built on open protocols such as BACnet and Modbus to support integration across building systems.

“It’s rarely the BMS product causing system risk, it’s usually People and Process.”

One of Alerton’s key messages for delegates is that technology is only part of the risk picture. Their view is that many issues attributed to the BMS are more often driven by how systems are owned, configured, maintained, and supported day-to-day.

For healthcare engineering teams, this is a practical reminder that resilience is built through the combination of fit-for-purpose systems and the operational discipline that surrounds them.

Reducing reliance on single points of failure

In healthcare estates with legacy equipment and staged upgrades, open-system building automation and integration can support a more resilient pathway forward, particularly where multiple systems must work together and visibility of what is happening across plant and equipment is critical. Alerton are helping healthcare engineering teams reduce reliance on single points of failure.

Connect with Alerton at the Conference

Alerton would like to connect with delegates about the obstacles they are working through with legacy systems, and the practical constraints that make change difficult in live hospital environments.Be sure to visit them on the trade floor and share what challenges your team is navigating across building automation, risk, and legacy systems.
