The smart connectivity of buildings should be central to
transformation: but the reality is something else. While the ‘digital
building’ has been a multi-heralded concept for some time,
implementation is more problematic. This White Paper discusses the
challenges and advantages of the digital building and how a major
industry initiative is helping with the convergence of disparate control
systems to enable the concept.
