Will a Unified Smart Building Metadata Standard Become Reality?
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 […]

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 […]

#Podcast 12: We Need Open Standards Not “EgoSystems” for True Interoperability!
In our Podcast series “Sh*t You Wish Your Building Did!”, Memoori explores the intersection between technology and commercial real estate through interesting conversations. Everyone talks about ‘Open’ in Smart Building Technology, but what is hype and what is reality? Are ‘Open APIs’ a myth? We sat down with Erik Wallin from Idun Real Estate and RealEstateCore […]

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, […]

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, […]

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 […]
