Course overview
Introduction
Tenants and investors increasingly expect buildings that are energy efficient, comfortable, secure and connected. Smart building technologies, from building management systems and intelligent lighting to occupancy sensors and integrated digital platforms, can reduce operating costs, improve occupant experience and increase asset value, but only if they are planned, specified and delivered well.
This Smart Buildings and Building Automation for Developers training course helps developers, project managers and owners make informed decisions about smart building technology. Participants learn about building automation systems, network infrastructure, integration and open protocols, data and analytics, cyber security, specification and procurement, commissioning and handover, and how to build a business case.
The course focuses on avoiding common pitfalls, such as proprietary lock-in, poor integration and systems that are never properly used.
