The potential for Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help transform the performance of commercial buildings has been well documented for several years. But as with most technology innovations, the industry has been slow to adopt AI and Machine Learning techniques. Coupled with this, marketing hype from vendors has often painted a confusing picture of what AI […]

Augmented reality (AR) is one of those technologies that inspire futuristic visions of the world. AR blurs the line between the real and the digital worlds by allowing users to view the environment around them through a data-rich lens, literally seeing a digital interpretation of their physical surroundings.

A digital twin is a digital representation of a real-world entity or system. In the context of a building, digital twins express the location and characteristics of every wall, door, and window, but also every pipe, cable, and switch in a virtual model. In our increasingly smart buildings, digital twins must also mirror every system, […]
