  Description: 

  This session explores how smart building technologies, early technology partner engagement, and integrated digital tools are reshaping the way facilities are designed, built, and operated. Learn how to overcome traditional construction challenges, improve operational efficiency, and create future-ready, sustainable environments through a proactive, data-driven approach. Emerging technologies like digital twins, remote programming, cloud analytics, and even remote command and control can offer improved outcomes to improve commissioning and long-term support. Division 25, as an approach, can provide a mechanism for achieving outcomes that match customers’ expectations, which can streamline the integration of building infrastructure.
