by Shane Henson — October 14, 2013—Facilities and building managers wanting to know what the future holds for building energy management solutions and how their companies might be affected by new trends can access a report on the subject through Reportlinker.com.
According to the 41-page report, The Future of Building Energy Management Solutions, rising energy costs and an increasing focus on environmental performance of buildings will make energy management the most dynamic segment of the building technologies and services industry.
Performance contracting is expected to become customers’ preferred business model, and suppliers will reportedly need to develop service capabilities or partner with facilities management companies or energy service providers to participate in the most dynamic part of the market.
The report also notes that smart buildings and homes will become a mainstream reality in two to three years, driven by the convergence of green and smart technology and new market entrants. Cloud-based services with a strong focus on data interpretation are forecasted to be key enablers for a new generation of intelligent buildings.
