Is the Path to the Digital Twin Future of Buildings Paved By APIs?
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, […]

IoT Technologies Can Allow Schools to Safely Return-to-Learn
After months of strict lockdown, children in the UK will return to school on Monday next week. Similar “return-to-learn” plans are being rolled out in countries across Europe, in many US states, and in nations across the world in order to limited the negative impacts of disrupted education on childrens’ development. However, as the pandemic […]
Small Commercial Buildings Are a Big Opportunity for Technology Growth
Our image of large cities tends to be dominated by skyscrapers and large office complexes, but the reality is that these big buildings only make up a tiny fraction of total commercial building stock. In fact, 94% of the commercial building in the US are made up of properties with under 50,000 square feet of […]
The Vulnerability of Things & the Need for Lightweight Encryption in Smart Devices
The Internet of Things (IoT) in smart buildings, homes, and cities has triggered a digital revolution for the built environment. Billions of sensors and devices now transmit real-world data to cloud computing systems in order to help us understand the physical world in quantifiable digital terms. IoT data is often sensitive in terms of privacy […]
Printable Sensors Could Trigger Next Wave of Innovation in the Built Environment
Sensors are one of the fundamental elements of smart buildings. They provide the foundation of data collection that allows all Internet of Things (IoT) applications to function. The falling cost and reduced size of sensors has been a significant market driver. Now a rapidly maturing type of sensor offers a revolutionary drop in both size […]
