Inspiration & Innovation: Today’s — and Tomorrow’s — Building IoT
By Terrance McManus
By blending physical assets, sensors, and cloud based computation, the Internet of Things (IoT) vastly expands the reach of information technology for the buildings industry. The possibilities that arise from the ability to monitor and control things in the physical world electronically have inspired a surge of innovation and enthusiasm.
Recent advancements in technology, data science, and artificial intelligence, illustrate that the future of Internet of Things technologies will certainly exceed our expectations.
