Digital Building Connectivity

Market Analysis and Forecasts for Commercial Building Digital Connectivity in IP-Based Networks: Cloud versus Non-Cloud BMS and Wireless versus Wired Sensors

There is a global effort for a sustainable climate, and these efforts are ongoing, as the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference summit showed. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), buildings account for half of electricity demand worldwide, and intelligent building design is important for energy reduction. Digital technology has also taken a central role in designing sustainable buildings. Digitally enabled intelligent buildings can technologically support the comfort and safety of occupants by monitoring solutions. These intelligent buildings can also contribute to energy savings by leveraging digital technology, as many occupied buildings consume high amounts energy. Digital technologies, such as cloud computing and wireless connection, optimize building management systems’ (BMSs’) operation and connectivity while ensuring energy efficiency and occupant comfort in intelligent buildings.

Emerging technologies, such as AI and wireless connection, have further driven the technological innovation of intelligent buildings. AI is beginning to converge with BMS, and innovative technology improves wireless networks' reliability and scalability.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes these IT-based digital technologies, such as internet protocol (IP)-based BMS and sensor networks, that manage intelligent or smart buildings. The forecasts are broken down by segment and region. The report estimates this market forecast by breaking down segments as follows: cloud BMS, non-cloud BMS, HVAC control components, HVAC control sensors, lighting control components, lighting control sensors, wired sensors, and wireless sensors. The forecasts extend through 2031.
