Should a Smarter Building Mean a More Secure Building?
Since its recent resurgence, the access control sector has been constantly evolving to enable better security processes in the next generation of smart buildings. Moving from the physical key, to the radio frequency identification (RFID) card, to passwords, smartphones, video, fingerprints and other biometric identification. As access control goes digital so does its vulnerabilities. The […]

Lighting is fundamental to an occupants experience in a building. Lighting accounts for approximately 40% of energy consumption in buildings. Lighting’s ubiquitous nature makes it the ideal platform upon which to establish the Internet of Things in Buildings (BIoT). These three statements underline the importance of lighting to the continued development of smart buildings as […]
