Big Data, Internet of Things Coming to CRE in 2015

WASHINGTON, DC—The commercial real estate industry has needed little convincing of the business case for sustainable building design and ongoing operations and maintenance. Study after study has driven this point home over the years and by this point the question is not whether to be sustainable, but rather how far can it be taken.

The answer is quite far, at least to hear Aquicore CEO Logan Soya tell it and quite soon too. Aquicore is a locally-based provider of real-time energy management software with a presence in San Francisco, Denmark and Argentina. Soya believes that such trends as Big Data and the Internet of Things are poised to remake energy-efficient building management and the beginnings of this shift–or disruption–will emerge next year.
