Smart buildings are taking a major step forward in popularity and demand. By collecting data and making continuous adjustments, smart buildings are addressing a greater need by tenants for efficiency.

“Simply put, smart buildings will create a scalable foundation for creating the elusive smart city, building by building, from the ground up,” Harry G. Smeenk, Vice President of Program Development at the Telecommunications Industry Association said.
Connectivity will soon be a feature of several aspects of city life. Smart buildings may serve as a blueprint to how this may be accomplished on a larger scale.
