ABB Ability™ BuildingPro Suites is a modular software platform that unifies building automation, HVAC, energy, OT, IoT, and IT systems into a single open and cybersecure environment. It transforms siloed building data into actionable, portfolio-level insights, helping building owners, operators, and system integrators improve energy efficiency, occupant comfort, sustainability, and operational performance.

### Platform, Suites & Modules

BuildingPro Suites is structured like building blocks. At its core is a flexible **platform** that serves as the unified intelligence layer across all connected systems. On top of this, domain-focused **Suites** (covering areas such as energy, operations, comfort, asset health, space, and grid interaction) group targeted **Modules** designed around specific use cases and validated user needs.

This means you can start with exactly what you need today and expand over time, adding Suites and Modules as your requirements grow, without redesigning your system architecture. From a single building to an entire portfolio, BuildingPro Suites scales with you.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/preface/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
