Weekly insights from live operations, vendor evaluations, and market analysis.
Starting with one system means you pilot building AI on a single workflow in a single building for four to six weeks — pick the system with the clearest baseline and the most painful recurring problem, define a measurable success threshold up front…
Digital twin for buildings is no longer a 2-year capex commitment. In 2026, IoT-driven twins riding existing BAS infrastructure deploy for $15K–$80K per facility, return measurable HVAC savings of $0.80–$1.20/sqft/yr, and break even in 8–18 months…
Vendors sell data center cooling AI on one headline number. The honest ROI question is narrower: how much of your cooling electricity does it actually remove, and can you prove the saving now that PUE is becoming a metered, billed figure?
Through the first half of 2026, grid-interactive demand flexibility crossed the line from pilot to procurement. New aggregator partnerships, a doubling of contracted virtual-power-plant (VPP) capacity, and the first contractual AI-data-center…
Smart building vendor due diligence for CRE means verifying six things before you sign: who owns the data, whether savings are proven under a recognized M&V protocol, whether the platform speaks open protocols, the vendor's financial stability, the…
Proptech venture funding hit $16.7B in 2025 (+67.9% YoY) and accelerated into 2026 — but the money is concentrating violently. In 2025, just 31 companies captured over 72% of all proptech capital, and AI-native firms grew funding at 42% annually…
Most "CRE tech stack" lists are a logo wall of apps to buy. For an asset manager, the more useful way to read the stack is as four layers — and to notice that the value, and the risk, both concentrate in the layer nobody markets.
The pitch for AI predictive maintenance is "fix it before it breaks." The reality is more specific — and it depends almost entirely on one thing you can check before you sign anything.
The bottleneck on occupancy-driven HVAC savings is no longer accuracy — thermal and 60GHz radar sensors are accurate enough. It's the legal and InfoSec approval queue.
