The worldwide emphasis on energy management and sustainability has stimulated the development of new building automation and IT technology, and the adoption and integration of these systems in smart buildings. The rate of adoption is dramatically increasing, resulting in increasing numbers of organizations housed in smart buildings with advanced building control technology. Beyond resource sustainability, there is growing interest in the potential for buildings to affect the health and well-being of occupants, and the productivity of organizations. This white paper, authored by National Research Council Canada, explores how the use of advanced building control technology can improve organizational productivity.
