Session Survey
Investment decisions in buildings are typically seen through two different lenses - capital expenditures (cap-ex) which go toward acquiring assets, or operating expenditures (op-ex) which go toward maintaining asset value. Today, decisions to acquire, install, and operate smart building technology carry both risk (will it be too hard to operate or be obsolete quickly?) and, increasingly, rewards (we can realize new revenue streams with the data we gather). In this session, Jay will explore how smart, integrated building systems not only allow decreased op-ex by enabling things like predictive maintenance and energy efficiency, but can provide operating revenue from increasingly valuable data streams and analytics.
