Smart building infrastructure enables energy savings, sustainability, and connected automation across commercial spaces. With commercial buildings accounting for 18% of U.S. energy use, smart technologies help reduce consumption by up to 33% and support net-zero goals. Adoption is growing, from retrofits to fully integrated systems. At the core is network convergence, where multiple systems (HVAC, lighting, security) operate over a unified Ethernet network, improving flexibility and reducing costs. High-quality cabling is essential, as 70% of network failures stem from poor physical infrastructure. Smart buildings optimize performance, reduce risk, and enhance occupant comfort, safety, and efficiency.
