Solution Certification
5 Reasons Why the Smart Building Collective Certifies Smart Solutions for Buildings
Smart technologies are rapidly transforming the way we design, build and operate buildings. As buildings become smarter and as an increasing number of smart solutions enter the market, the benefits of certifying solutions with the Smart Building Collective (SBC) has never been more apparent. Here are five reasons why we at SBC certify smart solutions for buildings.
1. Innovation
Innovation is the lifeblood of the smart building industry, and certification of smart solutions promotes innovation. SBC certifies the smartest buildings in the world: we see the trends, we see the gaps and we see the potential of new technologies. By certifying smart building technologies, SBC has the insight to help bring exciting new technologies to the market, for the biggest impact.
“Completing SBC’s solution certification was a thorough and extensive process. Was it worth the effort? - Absolutely. inBiot’s completed the application via a team effort comprised of engineers and the sales team. The certification application reassured our strengths, value proposition, and areas to develop new technologies.” John L Oliver, Business Development inBiot Monitoring (IAQ Technology)
2. Marketing
Certification of smart building solutions with SBC can be a powerful marketing tool. Building owners and operators are increasingly interested in innovative solutions that are the best fit for their building, and certification can help differentiate these technologies from others. By obtaining certification, technology providers demonstrate a clear commitment to quality, innovation and collaboration with the Smart Building Collective, which can help attract new clients. SBC also helps promote certified smart solutions through our own channels and events. We want to highlight and prove the benefits of smart solutions (backed with scientific research and data), raising awareness and generating interest in the built environment industry.
3. Thought leadership
The Smart Building Collective is a thought leader in the smart building industry. We work closely with certified solution providers and building owners and operators to stay up-to-date on what’s happening in the industry. We also conduct our own research and publish our own reports on key trends, issues and challenges in smart buildings and smart solutions. We think it is important to share our insights and expertise because we believe smart building is a requirement, not a “nice to have”. In doing so, SBC is helping to shape the direction of the smart building industry, providing guidance on best practices. Certified solutions are ones that we believe in and become part of these best practices.
"As buildings are becoming more complex, smart building is no longer a nice-to-have but a must-have." - Nicholas White, Co-Founder Smart Building Collective
4. Matchmaking
SBC facilitates matchmaking between certified technology providers and building owners. These connections can help identify technologies that meet the specific needs and requirements of a particular building and fill any gaps or areas of improvement as identified in the smart building certification process. At SBC, facilitating connections between smart solution providers, buildings and researchers is central to our collaborative way of working. One way we do this is by hosting conference workshops where we bring together researchers, thought leaders, buildings and solutions providers because they don’t often find themselves in the same room as each other! If you are interested in attending such an event, please let us know.
5. Collective impact
Certification of smart solutions with SBC drives collective impact in the smart building industry. SBC brings together all smart building stakeholders, fostering collaboration to address common challenges and to identify and act on opportunities. By working together we believe we will create a more sustainable, innovative and efficient smart building industry.
