Weekly insights from live operations, vendor evaluations, and market analysis.
Willow, CIM and Facilio are three widely used smart building platforms that solve different problems. Willow builds a digital twin of a property's data. CIM analyses building performance and energy to cut operating cost.
Every PropTech vendor selling to ESG-minded owners eventually says it: "our smart-building technology will boost your GRESB score." Most of them are wrong about how — and the misunderstanding costs money, because owners buy sensors expecting points…
"Willow vs CIM vs Facilio?" is one of the most common smart-building software questions — and the framing is wrong. These three aren't running the same race.
Walk a smart-building trade-show floor and you'll hear about features — dashboards, occupancy heatmaps, AI copilots, a hundred integrations. Walk into an owner's investment committee and you'll hear about one thing: NOI.
"Predictive maintenance" is the line item every IoT vendor wants on your budget, and the one most likely to disappoint — not because the technology doesn't work, but because it gets sold as a building-wide religion instead of an asset-specific tool.
Sizing the real payback on a commercial HVAC upgrade — with the math shown, not just the headline number.
PropTech capital is no longer rewarding software that helps your facilities team work faster — it is rewarding software that does the work without them.
Every layer of commercial real estate is getting its own agentic operating system. Fund administration already has one. The building itself — how it runs, what it spends, whether it performs — is the layer AI Smart Buildings is built for.
Daily CRE intelligence — what changed for building owners and operators, verified before publishing. Today's signals № 01 BMS cyber surface keeps widening — 38% of smart buildings already attacked, 75% of orgs ru n KEV-affected BMS: a priority watch…
