Released in November 2023, this paper by Forrester Consulting, commissioned by Johnson Controls, details the outcomes of a survey conducted in 25 countries about smart building strategies in different organizations. The findings suggest that to address sustainability, leaders are currently focusing their efforts on improving their operations sustainably. The main challenges identified include a lack of system/data integration and internal expertise, which slows progress in reducing carbon emissions. The report concludes that to fill the technical gaps in optimizing building systems and measuring environmental impact, organizations are encouraged to seek technical and strategic partners and create a fully integrated data platform.
