The Emergence of the Low Voltage Building

Smart building technologies and infrastructure are increasingly part of class A designs and are critical to improving building spaces related to three key value areas:

The results are as follows:

• Building quality, technology, and wellness standards
• Systems operation and energy monitoring capabilities that align to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies
• Upgraded cybersecurity and technology features and amenities for tenants and their workers

In this paper we discuss how the role of network infrastructure is expanding with smart building design to address not just the needs of IT but as a converged IP and infrastructure platform to support multiple building systems across building spaces from enabling working spaces to lighting, automation, and building operations, and safety and security.
