What is a Smart Building?
A Smart Building is the office building of the future, but one that you can already realize today. A Smart Building is an upgrade of a regular office building, to which technical components have been added. The available technology is geared to the employees and/or visitors and the activities in the office building. Smart Buildings learn, stimulate, and collect valuable data using the latest technologies. These techniques can go in any direction. Think, for example, of cloud solutions or automation technologies.

A smart building usually has its own building network. What can a Smart Building do that a regular building cannot?
In a Smart Building or smart office space, everything comes together in terms of technology.

These functions are connected to a network and managed via an app. This is possible thanks to the Internet of Things. In short, a Smart Building is a move of networks in the physical and virtual world.
