Cross-Compatible Data Ontologies to Create a Smarter Buildings Market
The smarter a building is, the more data it produces, so as smart buildings mature they face an ever-increasing data management problem. The more data a building produces, the more accurate and insightful its smart systems can be, but only if the data can be harnessed, otherwise that growing “data lake” becomes a costly burden. […]

Convergence of Key Ontologies Could Drive the Standardization of Smart Buildings
“The effective harmonization of building data from different systems has long posed a challenge. Recently there has been a big push in the smart buildings market to develop improved frameworks, models and ontologies for smart building data management,” reads our latest research study on the IoT in buildings. “New semantic data models that provide a common […]

We Already Have The Technology, Now We Need It To Work Together
In 2022, we already have the tools to make buildings smarter. What the smart buildings industry needs to do now, is to make their technology more accessible. “What the next decade is likely to bring us in building automation and integration is access. This means access between systems that have traditionally been independent, access to the […]

In this new Podcast series, Memoori explores the intersection between technology and commercial real estate through interesting conversations. The Quantum Standard. Defining the Purpose & Meaning of Smart Building Systems. In episode #10 we talked to Troy Harvey, CEO of PassiveLogic, about the Quantum Standard and the launch of the Quantum Alliance. The Quantum Standard […]

A Critical Moment of Opportunity Demands an Open Smart Buildings Market
Governments around the world are committing to a green recovery from the economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the fact that global energy demand actually dropped by an estimated 5% in 2020, resulting in a 7% drop in total energy-related CO2 emissions, the global nature of this crisis has brought the world together. Understanding […]

MQTT & the Horizontal Approach to Managing Smart Buildings
The number of connected devices in our buildings is increasing relentlessly. According to our research, the number of connected devices in operation in the commercial smart building will grow from 1.7 Billion in 2020 to just under 3 Billion by 2025 representing a CAGR of 10.8%. Per building, this means a big increase in devices, as […]

Solving the Design-Build-Operate Divide with Ontology-based Digital Twins
“I think it is key that the smart building design and operation phases be better joined up. That’s the most important technical gap in my opinion, which must be addressed to trigger the biggest impact on smart buildings,” Ray D’Urso, building technology consultant, told Memoori. “I agree, there is a significant divide between the design, […]
