IMPLEMENTING IOT?
PRODUCT INNOVATIONS 2018

It can be tough to know where to start with smart building technology when there are Io T applications for nearly every building system. Keep in mind that it exists to make your job easier by keeping an eye on performance and pointing out potential issues that would be difficult to detect with conventional hands-on management.

Product Innovations is BUILDINGS’ annual award program that recognizes the most effective and innovative interior products. Several trends were identified this year among submissions, including the emergence of privacy booths, new acoustical elements, and active and adaptable solutions.
