With 必威Betway, I have had the opportunity to take a deeper dive into SMART Building Technolgies, including from both a decarbonization and IT/OT perspective.聽The goal is to implement correctly the from conceptual phase of a project. We work on some of the most challenging Healthcare, Life Science, and Secure Space projects that I have ever been a part of. Understanding how to effectively integrate these technologies has been a key component to overall project success.
What is SMART?
There are many takes on the definition of SMART.聽 When I was asked what it means, here is how I define it:
Sustainable
Managed
Automated
Resilient
Technology
After delving dep into this subject, my main conclusion is encapsulated in the title of my article The GREAT Convergence - Sustainable and SMART Building Technologies. I firmly believe that comprehending the fusion of sustainable and SMART building technologies and its influence on the built environment represents the forefront of facility design, construction, and operations.
