Smart Building & Businessprozesse

The label "Smart" is almost being applied inflationarily to many terms, things, and concepts. Along with the buzzword "digital transformation," an attempt is being made 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? With the rapid development of Smart Buildings, many builders and planners are entering new territory in the realization of intelligent buildings. Additionally, the digital development in construction is not reflected in the classic SIA planning phases. This "non-standardization" presents significant challenges for all stakeholders in a construction project.

With our experience in consulting on Smart Buildings and connected building automation, we provide targeted advice in the following project stages to act in the most user-optimized and cost-efficient manner:

• Goal definition in workshops with all involved stakeholders

• Definition of concrete use cases, e.g., indoor environment quality, asset tracking, people counting, workspace analytics, etc.

• Definition of business cases to establish concrete ROIs

• Definition of project participants to adapt the company's operational processes comprehensively to Smart Building

• Definition of workflows and processes and support in implementation
