September 12th, 2016The Story Of The Humble Substation Is The Story Of Our Future Energy System
The Harmonization of the Grid & Buildings Markets has begun! States our recent report entitled Smart Buildings Meet the Smart Grid. Referring to recent developments in smart grids, distributed energy and their synchronization with smart buildings. As these worlds come together, a forest of skyscrapers looks over a sea of power stations, only separated by […]
“Unleashing Synergies Between Human And Machine Intelligence” Memoori Speaks To MIT’s Carlo Ratti
The smart city and wider smart technology sector, like many new sectors, is made of many pioneering converts from its founding industries as well as a new generation of experts born into the field. Few, however, blur the lines between these two groups, and perhaps none more so than MIT professor Carlo Ratti. An architect […]
Smart Buildings & Cities Create Perfect Proving Grounds For Deep Learning
The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about the opportunity to establish a new architecture for Smart Buildings that decentralizes systems and pushes analytics processing to the “edge”, or sensor unit, rather than the cloud or a central server. This ‘Edge’ or ‘fog’ computing provides real-time intelligence and enhances system agility while simultaneously offloading the […]
We Need Smart Data Not Just Big Data
The Big data concept is defined around four key characteristics: data volume, data velocity, data veracity and data value. While the volume and velocity characteristics are concerned with the data generation process as well as how to capture and store the data, the veracity and value characteristics primarily deal with the quality and the usefulness […]

How Will AI Change Performance Software In Smart Buildings?
Building performance software is evolving to help facility owners and managers analyse data in order to optimise building processes to maximise efficiency. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving to optimise building processes to maximise efficiency all on its own. These two elements of the smart buildings movement are developing side by side towards […]
A Fundamental Change of Attitude to Cyber Security In Smart Buildings
According to Idan Udi Edry of Nation-E, the smart buildings industry has evolved past a dutiful attitude towards cyber-security, and instead displays “an attraction and curiosity” for the topic. “This year there was a change”, Edry says. “For a quarter of a century the BAS industry has been working hard at delivering full connectivity across all […]
IBM Wants to Create “Buildings Where People Want To Be, Not Just Need To Be”
ISS Group, a provider of facility services, has signed a commercial agreement with IBM to use the power of Watson IoT to transform the management of over 25,000 buildings around the world. Late last year IBM has announced new initiatives designed to bring together the power of its Watson machine learning with the Internet of Things (IoT) […]
