Last week, tech giant Google announced the open-sourcing of two digital smart building resources; the TensorFlow Smart Buildings Simulator and an accompanying smart building data set. This announcement adds to a growing body of open-source smart building resources. Open sourcing is already fundamental to the software development process, for smart buildings and across the technology […]

Here is the recording and presentation from our live stream with David Blanch from Bitpool discussing their approach to leveraging the power of artificial intelligence on building performance software. Regardless of the buzz around generative AI and its impact on smart building technology, without accurate data, its REAL effect will be negligible. The old adage […]

Many startups set out hoping to change the game, to put a “dent in the universe” but the reality is that few get close. The odds of “success” if you are funded by a top VC are something like 0.05%. Even “success” doesn’t mean you change the game. Salt Lake City-based startup PassiveLogic is being […]

In our Podcast series “Sh*t You Wish Your Building Did!”, Memoori explores the intersection between technology and commercial real estate through interesting conversations. In Episode #22 of our Podcast, we sat down with Gabe Fierro, Assistant Professor at the Colorado School of Mines and Co-Founder of the Brick Schema for a free-ranging discussion about how different […]

Metadata standards have risen specifically to solve the data management and interoperability issues in the large-scale digital transformation within buildings. Yet, the number of competing smart building metadata standards has caused a new set of challenges for the industry. These standards often have significant overlap in features but are not directly compatible, making it difficult […]

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. […]

“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 […]
