IBM Watson IoT - Sensors in intelligent buildings

Enter the 21st century building's "digital twin." Think of it as a dynamic, virtual model of the physical structure, powered by the massive amounts of data that a single structure generates around the clock--everything from design specs to equipment parameters and live occupancy data. With IoT-enabled sensors tracking a building's "pulse" and feeding data back into next-generation systems such as Watson, facility owners and managers today are able to reconstruct every relevant metric from a physical structure in a digital environment. Every asset--from the HVAC system to the vending machines--can be monitored and analyzed remotely. But how do you manage those assets over time?
