Building Intelligence Corner

Richards-Zeta Building Intelligence, Inc. (RZ) has partnered with Frost & Sullivan to compose an industry White Paper focused on assessing the need for Intelligent Middleware and Intelligent Building Systems (IBS) solutions. Richards-Zeta is a global leader in Intelligent Building Systems and a key advocate and innovator towards the convergence of building systems and IT. The company provides powerful technology based solutions that integrate and elevate building systems to global IT standards.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] Richards-Zeta’s vision is to open up the traditional building automation systems (BAS) by using the interoperability of its technology. Buildings are on a path of migration toward open systems that can provide a wide gamut of advantages such as seamless integration which allows individual brilliances to come together, an aspect that forms the basis of an Intelligent Building. The goal of this White Paper is to analyze and interpret the needs and challenges of building systems integration.

This white paper calls on industry testimonials from companies such as Cisco, Concurrent Technologies Corporation, Johnson Controls, NetAppp, Facility Solutions Group, Google, Secutech Automation and many, many more.

With the right equipment, infrastructure, and solution, building owners and facility managers have the ability to embrace the diversity found within buildings and provide a future-proof integration infrastructure.

Furthermore, bringing together open communications protocols for control devices and IT provides customers with options and functionality at cost levels that were never before possible. Educating the end-users about open and interoperable solutions has been a key challenge. With a lack of industry wide standards and reigning confusion over the definitions of open and interoperable building automation systems, expectation levels among end-users are often higher than what can be practically achieved. This often results in customer dissatisfaction limiting demands for building automation systems.

The future of building systems is likely to see a lot of convergence and is expected to address the challenges of building integration. This driver is likely to result in collaborative efforts between the IT and the building domain specialists who share a highly positive synergy when it comes to Intelligent Buildings Systems (IBS).
