Automation vs Smart Buildings

This is an Ai and edited TLDR summary of June 03 Monday LIve Automation vs. Smart Buildings

Automation vs. Smart Buildings: Automation is a necessary foundation for smart buildings, but it is not the same thing.

Automation is about controlling physical systems, while smart buildings are about using data to improve the efficiency and operation of buildings.

Benefits of Smart Buildings: Smart buildings can provide a number of benefits, including reduced energy costs, improved occupant comfort, and increased productivity.
Challenges of Implementing Smart Buildings: Integrating new technologies into existing buildings can be challenging, and the industry needs to move away from a point-based pricing model for control systems.

Automation: Automation can be used to control a wide range of systems in a building, including HVAC, lighting, and security systems. Automation can help to reduce energy costs by optimizing the operation of these systems.


Data-Driven Insights: Smart buildings use data to track and analyze building performance. This data can be used to identify areas for improvement and to make informed decisions about building operations.

Clip of data and how powerful it is to make the transformation to smart buildings
Challenges of Integration: Integrating new technologies into existing buildings can be challenging due to compatibility issues between different systems.
Point-Based Pricing: The industry needs to move away from a point-based pricing model for control systems. This model is outdated and does not reflect the true cost of system integration.
