This white paper by Leviton outlines best practices for smart building planning and network design. It emphasizes early goal setting, stakeholder collaboration, and benchmarking against standards like SPIRE and WiredScore. A key recommendation is adopting a uLAN (utility LAN) to separate utility systems from the core LAN, improving network efficiency, security, and scalability. Smart buildings require high-density cabling and specialized infrastructure to support IoT and automation. Leviton advocates for working with network design professionals to ensure future-ready, high-performance, and secure smart building systems.
