Smart Building 5.0 envisions regenerative buildings that not only minimize environmental impact but actively restore ecosystems. Unlike Smart Building 4.0’s centralized systems, this next phase integrates OT, IT, AIoT, and swarm intelligence into a unified, decentralized infrastructure. It leverages edge computing, middleware interoperability, and predictive AI to optimize systems like HVAC, lighting, water, and energy. Key challenges include stakeholder alignment, regulatory compliance, and merging siloed systems. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise supports this evolution with solutions enabling smart infrastructure, real-time data analytics, and secure, scalable network integration.
