A great read, I had no idea that Commercial and institutional buildings accounted for so much energy use.

I also didn't realise the single use platforms that existed for other systems within commercial buildings. It really does make perfect sense to use Digital / Wireless technologies to join individual systems together into one seamless infrastructure.

The obvious cost benefits are obvious, however wide implications such as single system failure, could affect more systems, if they are joined to one main route.

A great article and very thought provoking.
