Welcome to Smart Buildings, LLC

The design, construction and operation of high performance buildings are occurring as a result of major financial, technical and environmental changes. These include the evolution of building systems within the building to IP-type networks, the financial advantages of integrated systems in reducing total capital and operating costs, and the importance of controlling energy usage and energy costs within the building in response to escalating energy prices and the "Green" movement to reduce carbon emissions.

Owners, designers and managers of buildings want integrated building systems to produce high performance buildings that add value, differentiate the building, control costs and meet occupants’ requirements. The challenges in doing so are many. How do you select technology amenities that will address tenant needs? Do the building designers and managers have the resources to really understand system integration? How do you manage energy usage and costs or the coordination of multiple designers and contractors? How do you procure the right facility management tools to obtain accurate, timely information on the building's performance?
