“Data itself has no intrinsic value,” says Isaac Chen, vice president, building technology systems for WSP. “Turning data into information is the goal.”

So how do you, in this environment of increasing sophistication of building systems, do that? The challenge is really twofold: First, how do you create a robust, interoperable, integrated smart building automation system that can provide the data you want in a format you need?
