# Building-specific settings
## Building-specific settings allow you to set different settings for a certain group of devices while keeping your global settings unaffected.
These settings range from the timezone and preferred time format to enabling/disabling individual features for your devices.
Keep in mind that device-specific settings will override any building settings you might have enabled. The number of buildings you can add depends on your [subscription plan](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/which-features-does-each-subscription-plan-offer?hsLang=en).
To learn more about the different levels of settings in the [MyJoan](https://my.getjoan.com/), click [here](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/joan-portal-settings-per-device-per-building-and-global?hsLang=en).
If you are unsure about how to add a building or edit its settings, see below:

Aside from editing the basic information, such as room, [language](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/how-to-change-joans-language?hsLang=en), and [time](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/how-to-change-the-timezone-and-time-format?hsLang=en), the following features can be adjusted for each building:

### How to edit these settings
In order to edit these settings, you will need to open the “**Edit building**” page. Here’s how:
1. Log in to [MyJoan](https://my.getjoan.com/) with your account credentials
2. Navigate to the “**Settings**” page via the top navigation menu
3. Click on “**Buildings**” from the left-hand side menu
4. You will see the list of available buildings. Find the building you wish to edit, and click on the "Edit" button on the right side
- If you do not have any buildings available, click [here](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/how-to-add-a-building-to-the-joan-portal?hsLang=en) to learn how to add one
5. The “**Edit building**” page will load for you. You will be able to adjust the standard information of the building, such as building name, address, timezone, maintenance email, occupancy, and floors.
6. By default, all building-specific features are disabled, so you will need to enable the ones you wish to edit
7. Once you have enabled the features you desired and adjusted their parameters, click “**Save**”
And that’s it! You have successfully added building-specific features.
