October - 2020CONSTRUCTIONTECHREVIEW.COM6Today, buildings are smarter than they have ever been, and if current trends are anything to go by, they will keep getting smarter. As newer and better technology continues to emerge and the demand for sustainable, eco-friendly energy options increases, smart buildings will face a future that is likely to be defined by automation, seamless sustainability, and more widespread implementation. The building automation industry is currently redefining itself with rapid innovations. The current smart building solutions are capable of carrying out more tasks and executing them faster, driving savings and efficiency.In the context of building automation, big data analytics can help uncover trends, relationships, correlations, and patterns. It provides users with never-before-seen levels of visibility and control over a building's devices, systems and facilities, and sets the stage for intelligent decision-making. Traditional building automation systems are structured for reactive decision-making. An exciting feature of big data technology enhances the capacity for proactive decision-making. For example, an IoT connected HVAC system will not only trigger maintenance alerts when components are approaching end-of-life but also order replacement parts online and book an engineer to perform maintenance, all before the component dies. Thanks to the advanced capabilities that building automation systems can offer, the idea of "carrying a building in the pocket" isn't just an illustration anymore but a tangible reality. With all of the information, commands, and data points of a building available on any remote control device, building owners can manage their facility better than ever before.The future is bright for building automation. With new innovations, intuitive upgrades, and an emphasis on easy controllability, the horizon is rife with growth and evolution that is sure to benefit the everyday lives of building managers, owners, and technicians for a long time to come.
