How to Make Any Building a Smart Building

How to Make Any Building A Smart Building

Hosted by Contracting Business & HPAC Engineering 

You’ve heard it all before – the future of building systems is no longer static. Customers expect building data, automation, and technology. And, with global revenue for building automation systems expected to increase 4.5% compounded annually over the next 10 years, there is immense opportunity to deliver greater connectivity and intelligence to the existing built environment.1 So, where do you start?

A strong smart building foundation starts with 4 key areas: connectivity, cybersecurity, serviceability, and resilience. Addressing these through building controls and automation is the key to creating spaces that prioritize performance and energy efficiency without sacrificing occupant comfort.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how engineers and contractors can get started, and the resources available to help you through every step – from design to installation, operation, and beyond.
