Siemens published a 20% energy reduction claim for its Digital Twin Composer. Without IPMVP methodology disclosure, it's unverifiable. Here's the three-step practitioner audit for any AI building savings claim.
PropTech VC hit $1.7 billion in January 2026 — up 176% year-over-year. Fast-moving markets produce inflated claims. Here are the five evaluation questions that separate vendors with real measurement methodology from those with compelling positioning.
Your AI-HVAC vendor claims 23% energy savings. But how were those savings measured? IPMVP is the international standard for verifying energy performance claims — and almost no AI building vendor uses it. Here's how to apply it to your deployment.
Antony Slumbers, Nicolas Waern, Brendan Wallace, Jon Gray, and James Dice made specific predictions about AI smart buildings in 2025. Here's the verification that every one of them was right.
BACnet made Forescout's riskiest OT protocols list for the first time in 2026. Microsoft's reference architecture explicitly refuses BMS control. Here's why recommend-only AI governance is the only defensible architecture for commercial buildings.
VTS got expert-in-the-loop verification right — for lease abstraction. But lease terms tell you what you pay. Building operations data tells you what you consume. Here's the structural gap that matters for LL97, green leases, and IPMVP financing.
Enel X is live on Taipower's VPP program — the first utility-grade demand response from commercial buildings in Taiwan. With APAC VPP market growing at 27.63% CAGR to $13.56B by 2030, here's what building operators need to know.
VTS validated expert-in-the-loop verification for leases. Nobody has done it for building operations savings claims. Here's the IPMVP gap every FM director should know before the next procurement cycle.
April 2026 tariffs on HVAC components and electrical equipment are adding 18-30% to hardware-intensive building projects. The ROI math has shifted — and the case for AI-first optimization has never been clearer.
