SMART BUILDINGS

• A SMART BUILDING USES SENSORS, ACTUATORS

AND MICROCHIPS.

• IT COLLECTS DATA AND MANAGES IT

ACCORDING TO A BUSINESS’ FUNCTIONS AND
SERVICES.

• THIS INFRASTRUCTURE HELPS OWNERS, OPERATORS

AND FACILITY MANAGERS IMPROVE ASSET
RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE

• IT REDUCES ENERGY USE, OPTIMIZES HOW SPACE

IS USED AND MINIMIZES THE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT OF BUILDINGS.
