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 […]

Semantic Tagging for Small Smart Buildings
“BIoT technology penetration for small and medium-sized commercial buildings is well behind the curve in terms of adoption. This situation is largely a consequence of the business models and economic imperatives that have historically driven the building controls market,” our report on the IoT in smart commercial buildings stated. “Although the cost of building controls solutions is […]

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, […]

Google Digital Buildings Project: Putting the Internet into the Building Internet of Things
The Internet was first conceived as a platform for academics to share information through a structured worldwide web of peer-to-peer connections. As it turned out, everyone else wanted to share information too, leading to the open, user-led, beautiful mess we see online today. Opening up the Internet to the world allowed anything and everything imaginable […]

Future Proofing Smart Buildings Against the “4 Vs” of the Growing Data Challenge
The four Vs of big data have long been a central part of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart building discussion. As the number and complexity of devices and systems within buildings increase, so does the Variety, Velocity, Volume, and Veracity of the data generated. It is these four Vs that have created the […]
