The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in buildings, and the data it makes possible, is changing the insurance industry. And that industry, in turn, will shape the adoption of those same technologies.
Here is an excerpt from a panel discussion that took place at the IoT PropTech Summit on Nov. 19, focusing on how insurance has become an industry in transition as a result of buildings IoT. Organized by IoT leak protection supplier Eddy Solutions, a ASHB member, and PCL Construction, this summit brought together technology leaders to educate on and discuss the state of IoT today, and the opportunities that IoT brings to business sectors, including the burgeoning proptech sector.
