THE COALITION FOR SMARTER BUILDINGS

Unlocking the value, power, and potential of smarter buildings with an open, Linux-based, cloud-native tech stack.

Unlock the silos.
Unleash All Stars.

Today’s buildings have siloed, walled-gardens of management systems that lock up all their data and lock in owners’ choices.

 

You can’t run AI on all of your real estate, because AI can’t see all the data.  Your tenants’ experience can’t get order-of-magnitude better, because everything they need access to can’t be brought together.  Your operations can’t get more efficient across the board, because you can’t see across your whole portfolio.

 

If the people you hire are trying to do it all themselves and win the Home Run Derby, you won’t win games.  And if every ballpark fields their own team playing by their own rules, you can’t have a league, make trades, and grow.

 

So let’s unlock the silos, set up some common rules, keep a common scoreboard, and play together.  

 

Then you can assemble, and unleash the power of, an All-Star Team. 

INITIATIVES

The Coalition for Smarter Buildings drives numerous initiatives**
focusing on removing barriers to widespread adoption of smarter buildings.

**Additional initiatives will be added as new barriers and opportunities are identified.

Why?
Open Standards

C4SB is working to collect, develop, and offer open standards and best practices for interoperable smarter building solutions.

​

Total 'X' of Operations (TxO) is one of the first open tools – a consistent way to model Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), benchmark performance and evaluate the costs, benefits, and ROI of options to improve your real estate portfolio.

​

TxO stands for Total ‘X’ of Operations for facilities, where the ‘X’ can be Cost, Risk, Revenue, Competitiveness, or another expression of value.  

What?

Open Tech

C4SB advocates for a Linux-based, cloud-native open tech stack for smarter buildings following principles for open-source, multi-system digital solutions developed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, of the Linux Foundation.

C4SB’s Interoperable Building Box (IBB) is a Linux-based, Cloud-Native, open, secure, multi-tenant gateway for smarter buildings.

How?
Open Markets

C4SB is working to collect, develop, and offer tools and resources to help connect buyers and sellers of smarter building solutions.

​

Division 2525 (Div2525) is a C4SB-developed template to help owners and operators specify what they want to buy in an interoperable smarter building solution.
