Building technology

Overview

Digitalization is reaching into every aspect of today’s world—and building design and operation are no exception. Today’s leaders—from building owners and operators to design and engineering firms—realize that their sites are much more than just a place to conduct and drive business or house assets. They need to be smarter in order to meet sustainability and energy efficiency mandates, maintain or improve their “green” image and corporate social responsibility, and build greater resiliency. Digitalization supports the goal of such leaders—to create the perfect place for their people to work, to heal, to learn, and to succeed.
