Joining forces to raise energy efficiency and tenant comfort.
Integrating disparate systems within facilities helps facility owners and managers achieve synergies that would otherwise not be possible with the traditional silo approach to managing HVAC, lighting, access control, security, fire and life safety and communications systems. An open and integrated solution that helps toward improved energy-efficiencies, enhanced environmental-sustainability, as well as higher tenant comfort, results in greater profitability for the facility manager, better tenant retention and a positive corporate image for both owner and manager.
This white paper was commissioned by Citect with the objective of exploring the changing demands that facility owners and managers contend with, as well as to highlight the benefits that they can realise through adopting strategies to achieve integrated monitoring and control across the major systems used in the facility or across multiple facilities.
The white paper was written by analysts of the Industrial Automation Practice at Frost & Sullivan.
