Sustainability positively affected the commercial real estate sector by enabling IoT developments for facility owners. Intelligent buildings leverage connected technology, IoT devices, automation, and advanced analytics to mitigate various energy waste. IoT ecosystem in buildings provides greater convenience for facility managers, the comfort and the safety for building occupants with higher energy and operating return on investments.
Building owners and managers always look for new ways to reduce facility maintenance costs and improve efficiency. By leveraging data from connected devices, owners can streamline and automate building control to reduce operating costs and minimize the impact on the environment.
We call a building intelligent when it uses automated processes to automatically control operations, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security and other systems. It helps facility managers and building owners improve asset reliability and minimize the facility's environmental impact.
