Data has become the fundamental currency of business. Data-driven approaches to building operations are providing facility owners with tactical means to inform decisions and quantify impact. Intelligent Buildings – built on the premise of improved efficiency through data management and systems interconnectivity – are leveraging the measurement and controls capabilities of modern building systems to revolutionize facilities management practices and pave the way for “smart” real estate portfolios.
The idea of an Intelligent Building, Smart Building, or Connected Portfolio means different things to different people. Therefore, understanding project needs and articulating them clearly among all stakeholders are the keys to success.
