Smart Buildings – Just a Trend or Real Benefit?

16.02.2024

The label "smart" is being attached to a wide range of terms, things, and concepts in an almost inflationary manner. Together with the buzzword "digital transformation," there's an attempt to fuel a digital revolution.

This inevitably raises the question: Are smart buildings just a short-term trend, or do new technologies in building automation offer substantial benefits?

According to the Deloitte study "Commercial Real Estate Outlook," 75% of the study participants believe that smart buildings will become the norm in the next five years. Optimized building and operational automation, combined with intelligent space management, will significantly improve user satisfaction, increase productivity, and reduce costs. In the building of the future, a smart building will be characterized by its ability to adapt to individual users and minimize or eliminate media disruptions (keys, badges, switches, room controls, etc.).
