The biggest challenge we see is the lack of knowledge or awareness among people about the Building automation and Facility management system benefits. In this blog, you can read the importance as are,

Building Automation

Increasing demand for efficient building management system through various mobile devices is expected to drive the intelligent building automation system (BAS)

Reducing operating costs of the systems, focus on eliminating CO2 emissions, initiatives taken by governments, growth opportunities for developers, benefits for real estate developers and high return on investment for the end users

Life safety systems include fire security system, gas leakage alert system and earthquake alert system. These products are going to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period Physical security products are going to grow on a large scale followed by facilities management systems.
