Smart Building integrates technology and energy management system with buildings, automating the process thereof. Some of the major functions of smart buildings are temperature control, air-condition control, security control, lighting control, network management, ventilation, water management, fire alarm etc. All these operations are controlled by sensors and microchips, which in turn accumulate data and organize them according to their respective functions and services. Smart buildings help in providing better asset security, performance, and experience to building owners, staff and operators. Key benefit of smart buildings is that they are energy efficient, thereby enhancing productivity gains.

One of the key factors supporting the growth of the market for smart buildings is a growing global need for reducing energy consumption, by both individuals and organizations. In addition, penetration of the Internet of Things (IoT), control systems and automation systems are also propelling growth of the smart building market. For instance, Siemens AG developed a building automation technology called as Desigo CC, which integrates all building systems such as heat, ventilation, lighting, video surveillance etc. into one single platform that can be operated intuitively. Moreover, development of smart cities across the globe is also a driving factor in the growth of the smart building market. However, factors such as high initial cost, lack of open standard and lack of a skilled workforce are some of the factors that are hampering the growth of the smart building market.

Various notable players operating in the market, include Siemens AG, ABB Ltd, Schneider Electric, Cisco Systems, United Technologies Cooperation, IBM Cooperation, Delta Controls, Building IQ, Honeywell International, Johnson Controls, among others. In April 2018 for instance, Schneider Electric introduced a new generation EcoStruxure building platform, which helps in maximizing building efficiency, improving the productivity of the people and increasing the building value thereof.
