Summary of “Smart Buildings: What 'smart' really means” Draft #2
In the article “Smart Buildings: What 'smart' really means”,
Lecomte (2019) states that having certification with standardized metrics is
fundamental for smart buildings to wholly emerge in the "built
environment". According to the article, the lack of unanimity from various
stakeholders has delayed the drafting of standardized rubrics. Hence, private
and public sectors design their own metrics to assess smart buildings but their
rubrics vary from one another. However, the article also states that current private and public metrics are unsuccessful in tackling the complicated and expanding aspect that buildings
will perform in "smart cities". Lecomte emphasizes that one crucial
component needed to be included in the standardized rubrics will be cyber risk
management as cyber threats "increase exponentially" along with more
advanced and integrated technology in smart buildings. Lecomte concludes that
holistic and reliable "smart building certifications and rubrics"
will be the foundation of a "functioning market for smart real
estate".
I agree with the author to a large extent regarding the focal point of the rubrics to assess smart building has to be the cyber risk management.
