For Building Owners

Your building’s reputation is built on days like today.

Ibex gives you real-time structural motion data to keep elevators running, maintain the premium experience your building is known for, and produce verified evidence of exactly how it performed. Consistent service. Confident decisions. Verified performance.

RWDI

Built on five decades of structural dynamics expertise from RWDI, Ibex is already deployed at North America’s most demanding high-rise environments, including One World Trade Center, Brooklyn Tower, and One Vanderbilt.

How It Works

Structural motion data, not guesswork.

Ibex installs on-site and connects directly to your elevator controller. High-precision sensors measure actual building sway, not rooftop wind speed, and the system responds in real time, adjusting elevator speed to match what the structure is actually doing. Ibex gives your team a live view of building behavior and a permanent forensic record of every event, accessible from anywhere.

What Ibex Delivers
01

Wait-time consistency

Ibex titrates elevator speed based on actual building motion, not arbitrary wind thresholds. Your building maintains the standard your tenants expect, even during significant sway events.

02

Premier tenant comfort

High-value tenants never experience unmanaged sway or unannounced shutdowns. Ibex gives you the data to demonstrate operational excellence and justify premium lease rates at renewal.

03

Recovery time optimization

Generic methods can hold elevators in reduced-speed mode for 20+ minutes after a wind event. Ibex signals the system to pick up speed the moment your building has returned to safe operating conditions.

04

Forensic data management

Every wind event, every structural response, permanently on record. Irrefutable data to resolve tenant disputes, satisfy insurers, and defend against litigation.

Do you already have a Tuned Mass Damper?

Optimized for buildings with advanced damping systems

If your property has a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD), the structure handles wind comfortably. But because your elevators do not communicate with the TMD, they remain blind to actual core motion—slowing or shutting down blindly based on rooftop wind speed. Ibex bridges this gap by feeding real-time building motion data directly into your elevator controller, matching vertical transportation to your structural reality.

Working with Consultants

Your elevator consultant can specify Ibex from day one.

Elevator consultants working on your buildings can write Ibex into the RFP, ensuring a windy day standard is built into the specification before suppliers are engaged. This gives consultants the precedent needed to ensure world-class elevator management through the life of the building — and removes reliance on opaque, supplier-set thresholds.
