These buildings often translate to significant energy savings and cost optimization for facility managers. In fact, smart buildings, thanks to significant advancements in technology can now go beyond maintenance cost reduction and function optimization. BMS (or building management systems) that are enabled with IoT (or Internet of Things) connectivity can help building managers and owners

Artificial intelligence in smart building management will become a necessity in coming years to make buildings more adaptive and not just automated, according to a new survey of smart building tech facility managers and other end users. The survey by analyst firm Omdia of 248 facility, security and IT managers of smart building tech, along

As energy consumption continues to rise, it’s becoming increasingly crucial for businesses and homeowners alike to use technology to boost their energy efficiency. Smart building technologies are becoming increasingly popular for reducing heating, cooling, and electricity usage costs and providing a safer working environment. With the right tools, organizations can achieve better performance from their

Employers can utilize smart buildings to reinvent the workplace and encourage people to return to the office in a beneficial way. Stefan Schwab, CEO of Enlighted, joins Ryan Chacon on the IoT For All Podcast to discuss smart buildings and the future of work. They cover the current state of smart buildings, using IoT data from smart buildings, leading

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from being merely a buzzword to presenting definable roles and tangible benefits for smart buildings. The past three years have seen the emergence of genuinely innovative use cases for AI technologies within the IoT for smart buildings (BIoT). While the rise of generative AI, like ChatGPT (developed

Smart building technology was a hot topic at the 2023 AHR Expo in Atlanta. Some of the top innovators in the HVAC industry spent three days in early February sharing ideas and showcasing the future of technology in the HVAC industry. “The industry changes so slowly, but technology changes constantly,” said Victoria Garcia Massimo, operations manager for Airzone.

Over the years, buildings have become more complex and dynamic with multiple disparate systems and devices supporting a range of standards. Such complexity can lead to inefficiencies. When systems do not “talk” to one another, they operate in silos, and facility staff are unable to get a holistic view of building performance. This is one

Coming from a long background in the physical security space, I have found it remarkable to learn that residing in every commercial building alongside the video management system is an adjacent building management system (BMS). Even more amazing is the majority of these systems are installed, serviced and managed by different companies, departments and people.

Technology, data, analytics, internet-of-things (IOT), efficiency, sustainability, integration, customization, personalization, optimization, innovation, flexibility, mobility, adaptability, connectivity, digitization… These are all terms you hear get thrown around when discussing the future of smart buildings.
