Introducing smart technology tailored to meet a building's occupancy patterns and the tenant's commercial requirements is a proven strategy tor reducing energy consumption and avoiding energy waste. We have come a long way since the days of basic timers and PIR sensor lighting control systems, with smart building networks that are both flexible and programmable to ensure they can be adapted to changing needs. With increasingly sophisticated smart building systems comes a requirement for increasingly complex data networks, and installing those networks requires a large number of terminations. Each termination requires attention to detail to ensure a robust and compliant connection. In a multistorey office block, any smart building installation or retrofit project is likely to involve multiple operatives carrying out the terminations and consistency can be compromised by individuals working with varying standards of quality. Time pressures can also jeopardise quality and consistency, with tight programmes causing terminations to be rushed, reducing consistency as a consequence.
