Reaching optimum levels of building performance requires unfettered access to data. Most building owners do not have appropriate access or control over their own data.
The selection and planning of a building's operational technologies and smart building infrastructure, based on a comprehensive data standard, is most easily and cost-effectively achieved by integrating building science and data science tools and capabilities.
Corporate Real Estate Journal (CRE Journal Volume 13 Number 3) recently published a white paper by Craig Stevenson, AUROS Group and Donnie Walker & Mike MacMahon, Newcomb & Boyd which addresses the tools, technologies and processes essential for owners and developers to control the building performance data in a portfolio of buildings.
