About HBT
We build the building automation platform we always wanted to install.
Hamel Building Technologies designs and builds Aero: supervisory controllers, an on-premises supervisor, remote access and field devices, engineered around the people who install, own and operate buildings.
Why we exist
Building automation got complicated in the wrong places.
Protocols became open, but the business around them didn't. Capacity tiers, annual maintenance agreements, license files and closed tools turned owning a building system into a subscription. Aero is our answer: modern, secure supervisory control that owners buy once and keep.
Owners should own their systems.
A building automation system is part of the building. We don't meter it with capacity licenses or charge a yearly fee to keep it current.
Nothing should reach into the building.
Every Aero connection starts inside the building and goes out. It's a simple rule, and it removes an entire class of risk.
Open at the edges.
Buildings are full of equipment from many manufacturers. Aero speaks open protocols at the field level and works alongside what's already installed.
Local expertise matters.
Controls work is done in mechanical rooms, not call centers. We sell through authorized dealers who know their buildings, and we back them from the factory.
Engineering
Aero firmware and software are developed in-house, with every release cryptographically signed before it reaches a controller.
Build & test
Every controller is provisioned, verified and burned in before it ships, so it arrives ready to commission.
Channel
Aero is sold exclusively through authorized dealers, with protected territories so each dealer can invest in its market.

Authorized dealers design, install and support every Aero system. Find the dealer for your territory, or talk to us about becoming one.
