Contact SofiaOpen platforms for building automation can contribute to an equal market for sustainable system innovations, smart control, lower and more flexible energy use in buildings. The project wants to create bridge-building between industries with different challenges and cultures.
A challenge for the real estate industry is to develop together with the increasing digitalization opportunities. Building automation systems are becoming both connected to internet and smart - with machine learning and advanced optimization. However, existing closed systems limit the possibility of further developing the management of buildings, as new system innovations in the form of data-driven services are difficult to implement in or alongside existing systems. Often you need to damage existing systems or let the existing system provider update the platform. With a more open platform and open APIs, each property owner can let different actors use the building data for innovative management without being limited by the existing system's ownership directives and restrictions.
