Smart Buildings Pilot Project

BOMA Canada announced the launch of the BOMA BEST Smart Buildings Certification Program’s Pilot Project. This certification sets a global standard for how smart buildings are measured, while also providing users with a roadmap to drive further asset enhancement and investment. 

Drawing on the success of BOMA BEST Sustainable Buildings, which has 3,100 certifications around the world, the program will kick off with over a dozen premier buildings across North America as pilot certification sites. BOMA BEST Smart Buildings is positioned to drive tenant experience, sustainability and the bottom line, and does so by considering six key indicators:

1.  Artificial intelligence
2.  Cyber and physical security
3.  Data management
4.  Connectivity
5.  Health and well-being
6.  Sustainability

“BOMA BEST Smart Buildings fills a gap in the market,” said Thano Lambrinos, vice-president, smart building technology and digital innovation at QuadReal and chair of the BOMA BEST Smart Buildings Advisory Council.  “Nothing exists quite like this exciting new program, which is poised to organize and standardize the very notion of a smart building and, thereby, enable us to measure how our buildings are performing, and how they can perform in the future.”
