Constructech: How Smart Are We? - News Smart Building

Smart is a word in transition. Once almost exclusively applied to human (and some animal) intelligence, today everything and anything is called "smart." With the growing field of AI (artificial or augmented intelligence) predicting self-learning inanimate objects, smart might be a minimum term with genius close behind. In construction, the application of computer technology to every facet of the trade is achieving inroads at companies large and small. But the focus is now turning to the implementation and installation of smart technology in the actual buildings.
