Energy Efficient Intelligent Building Technologies Multiplying
Automation and control technologies are directed by sophisticated software analytics and services
BOULDER, Colo. — A new white paper from Navigant Research analyzes survey results from 202 respondents on the proliferation of energy efficient and intelligent building technologies in the commercial segment, providing insight into the customer point of view.
The growth in sensing, automation, and control devices, as well as software and services, underscores the transition in commercial building management toward more strategic decision-making around cost containment, energy efficiency, sustainability, and occupant satisfaction, said Navigant. These technologies are also driving the importance of Building2Grid, a concept offering the potential to unlock two-way power flows and bundle non-energy related services in commercial buildings. According to the paper, energy efficient and intelligent building technologies and services are foundational to setting the stage for the Building2Grid concept.
