The role of ICT in creating intelligent, energy efficient buildings

Today most ICT related technology is called 'Smart'. Unfortunately, most of the current technology in most of our current buildings is not Smart in terms of what is required to achieve energy efficient buildings. Consequently, innovative ICT is necessary to deliver the significant breakthroughs required for better control and operation of buildings. Without this capability all other innovative technology under development will be rendered ineffective. ICT is the key to Smart Buildings which can be aggregated into neighbourhoods, campuses, districts, cities and countries to provide a truly sustainable built environment.
