The rise of the digital building

摘要

Designing for autonomous process automation requires a shift in consulting-specifying methods and practices. Engineering now includes a broader set of integrated systems requiring a well-defined and well-communicated bridge between a client's expected outcome and the construction process. A digital building includes a set of solutions that creates a synergy between comfort, safety, energy efficiency, and security. It's a blend of architecture, engineering, and technology that turns buildings into something more— uniquely different from the smart buildings of the past. Digital building is a smart building evolved—one that uses cognitive computing to drive autonomous optimization.
