Analysis of the building lifecycle in the past 50 years shows that operation represents 80% of the total cost, while construction represents only 20%. In a global context of budgetary constraints and preservation of natural resources, combined with an accelerating rate of urbanization, intelligent building management represents a major challenge for our modern society. New digital tools for building management and operation, and the data they collect, already allow operators to optimize energy consumption at the building level and sometimes at district level. In the near future, what are new technologies and practices that will make our cities greener and smarter?
