DUBLIN, May 08, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets

(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wgm3x2/cities_turn) has announced the addition of the "Cities Turn Ubiquitous - The Internet of Buildings in Asia-Pacific" report to their offering.

Rapidly-evolving building technologies, together with key market participants pushing for technological advancement in order to gain a competitive advantage are the driving forces for Internet of Buildings (IoB). The growing emphasis on energy efficiency of buildings and strong regulatory support aim to achieve a completely integrated and automated building. The development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) will complement the development of building-technology markets such as building automation, lighting, and integrated facilities management. This study covers Mega Trends, industry convergence, technology trends, reforms of business models and policies, competitive and best practices, and end-user opportunities.

The term Internet of Buildings' came from the phrase The Internet of Things' (IoT), first coined by Kevin Ashton from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2009. The IoT describes a vision of the future where domestic lives would intersect with connected technology.

This has been linked to BMS where there is clearly a need for interoperability.

IoB refers to BMS on a large scale and reshaping the approach of operations by building owners, operators, and managers to be more resource efficient and sustainable. This is achievable with the introduction of IT and the power of data analytics.

Successful development of intelligent equipment, rapid advancement in standard communication protocols, and a growing demand for future-proof infrastructure lead to aggressive evolution of the way buildings are operated.
