Integrating Building Silos: A Deep Dive into Data and Use Cases
This post explores the challenges and opportunities of integrating various building systems, or “silos,” to achieve greater efficiency and functionality. It emphasizes the importance of understanding use cases and user requirements to unlock the value of data generated by these systems. By focusing on specific use cases and establishing standards for data exchange, the building industry can move towards a more integrated and efficient ecosystem, benefiting tenants, operations teams, and asset managers alike.
