Big Tech Still Loves Smart Buildings
Despite the turbulence of 2020, smart buildings are still high on the agenda for the world’s biggest technology companies. This week, Samsung and Microsoft announced a global collaboration focused on digitally transforming the real estate development and property management industries. While pushing out the standard promises and benefits for all stakeholders, the collaboration actually makes […]

Early Innovators at the Forefront of Digital Twin Technology for Commercial Buildings
This article was written by Daphne Tomlinson, Senior Research Associate at Memoori. Digital Twins, virtual models of a process, product or service that allow for data analysis and system monitoring via simulations, are playing an increasing role in IoT and digital transformation in buildings. Projects today span multiple building sectors, including commercial real estate, retail, […]

“As Buildings Evolve, Elevators can also Evolve in Ways we have Not Seen Before”
Office workers in New York City spend a cumulative 5.9 years, per year, in elevators, according to an IBM study. The research showed that NYC office workers spend a further 16.6 years, per year, waiting for those elevators, meaning a cumulative of 22.5 years of potentially productive work time is wasted in the elevator process. […]

Smart Building Technology: Maintaining the Balance Between Energy & Data
The power efficiencies we expect from microchips according to Moore’s law are decreasing, leading to growing power demand from computing technology. However, we are gaining energy efficiency from smart technology in buildings, cities, and elsewhere. That smart-tech generates massive amounts of data, which then demands huge amounts of power. We can and we must build […]

The Technology Keeps Evolving – The Skills Gap is Widening
The 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) is taking place, driving us into the Data Age. Just as with steam power, electricity and computing, the impact of this data revolution will be felt across modern society as homes, buildings and workplaces adopt more intelligent, connected devices and systems. Just as with previous technological leaps, the rate of […]

The Huge Value of Occupancy Data in Commercial Real Estate
As much as one-third of commercial real estate in the US is “under-utilized,” according to the IBM Institute for Business Value. That is approximately 4 billion square feet of space that could be used better to add value or let go to save cost. The problem is that companies and building owners aren’t always sure […]
