SBA 506: Why Smart Facilities Aren't Always Smart – Bridging the Knowledge Gap


Listen Later

What makes a facility truly "smart"? This episode of the Smart Buildings Academy podcast challenges a common misconception: that automation alone guarantees intelligent facility management. If you've ever invested in advanced building automation systems (BAS) only to find them underutilized or misconfigured, this conversation will hit home.

We walk through the often-overlooked human and organizational factors that determine whether your smart building is actually delivering on its promise. This episode is a must-listen for facility managers, technicians, engineers, and IT professionals working in the building automation industry.

Explore the hidden pitfalls and practical insights around:

  • The illusion of intelligence in building automation systems 
  • Knowledge gaps that sabotage smart facility operations
  • Real-world consequences of poor system understanding
  • Training and communication strategies to close performance gaps
  • Preparing your teams for future tech like AI and machine learning

If your BAS looks great but underperforms, or if your team struggles to keep up with evolving technologies, this episode provides the perspective needed to take meaningful action.

Listen now and start reclaiming the true potential of your smart facility.
