Smart building project roadmap

Each smart building project will require adding smartness, connectivity, and convergence by bringing together many different components, technologies, and individuals. Since IoT smart integrated buildings are relatively new, there are few industry-designated smart building design certifications and programs and, therefore, a limited number of graduates.

There are, however, experienced architects, engineers, and consultants as we identified earlier who have gained experience through their projects, and they can offer their expertise to help guide you through your project. Whether or not you engage a consultant to assist in your smart project, we recommend following a phased roadmap approach to keep the project disciplined, focused, and aligned. Figure 12.2 outlines the roadmap phases and aligns previous chapters as references for detailed information.
