Buildings, from Green and Smart to Intelligent
Now, Intelligent Buildings are: 1.
Predictive: Rich sensor and telemetry data combined with AI models, allow operators to predict equipment maintenance, utility and amenity demands, thus enabling advanced automation to improve both tenant experience and operational efficiency. Grid-Interactive: Local energy generation and storage, as well as load shedding and load shifting capabilities enable buildings to reduce grid draw or even feed the grid during peak demand hours. Adaptable: Open data format and communication protocols, along with flexible infrastructure support extending the building’s capabilities with cutting edge technology. Secure: Ever-expanding data-sets and interconnectivity require cyber and physical security to be included from the design phase, not as an afterthought.
