by Shane Henson — April 8, 2013—IDC Energy Insights, a provider of strategic business technology and application advice for the energy industry, and research and event company Realcomm Conference Group, recently announced a strategic partnership to help promote the benefits of smart building technologies for the commercial, corporate, government, and institutional real estate industry.
The partnership reportedly enables both organizations to work more closely together to educate the industry on the latest technologies and cost-effective smart building investment opportunities and deployment strategies.
“We are pleased to partner with IDC Energy Insights. This collaboration is very timely as the implementation of next-generation smart buildings technologies has jumped the adoption chasm and is becoming more mainstream,” commented Jim Young, co-founder and CEO of Realcomm.
Through this alliance, IDC Energy Insights says it hopes to increase its networking with executives who share the same goals they have: to further understand industry trends and promote the cross-cutting business benefits of a new suite of smart buildings technologies— solutions that drive improvements in operational efficiency and support strategic energy management and expansive corporate objectives.
