Building Automation

“Just five years ago, the amount of data collected in buildings globally was 1.2 zettabytes. For perspective, consider that in 2009 the entire World Wide Web was estimated to contain close to just half a zettabyte.” states a new report from Memoori The Internet of Things in Smart Commercial Buildings 2016 to 2021. Smart Cities […]

We have released a new report today entitled The Internet of Things in Smart Commercial Buildings 2016 to 2021. The report focuses on market sizing analysis and a comprehensive assessment of the competitive landscape. It also provides crucial insights and detailed analysis of the technology enablers, drivers and barriers shaping the market. We project that […]

A building automation system (BAS) acts like the central nervous system for a smart building. Through the installation of sensors, software, a network and a cloud-based data store, BAS allows building owners and tenants to monitor, maintain and manage the mechanical, electrical and electromechanical functions within a structure. However, high cost has meant that only […]

The cyber physical systems (CPS) revolution is well underway. All manner of physical objects in our buildings and cities are being brought online under the banner of the Internet of Things (IoT). Objects with the ability to sense their environment and reason about the implications, are optimising processes, creating value, enhancing resiliency and developing responsiveness. […]

A recent study suggests that smart buildings do not necessarily reduce energy consumption. The surprising results calls into question one of the main selling points of smart technology adoption in buildings, highlighting human habits as the main obstruction to efficiency. Previous studies on the topic generally use simulations in order to assess a buildings energy […]

Memoori’s recent report on the Building Performance Software (BPS) business demonstrates that despite some 150 confirmed acquisitions in the last 6 years, the industry has at least 350 established suppliers delivering across 16 different market segments. These segments overlap and can cause confusion for buyers when they try to evaluate the best Return on Investment. […]

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 […]
