MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J., Jan. 18, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Today the EraNova Institute announces a special report,\u00a0\u201cIn the Cloud, Our Buildings and We Can Fly – Toward a Smart, Green Life<\/a>.\u201d Dick Samson, Director of EraNova and author of the report, says \u201cBuildings need to get smart if society is to get green.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nHe adds, \u201cBut most buildings are too dumb to even start getting smart. They\u2019re not even online.\u201d His report documents the reason and describes the solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost buildings aren\u2019t yet online because they\u2019re bogged down by paper,\u201d he explains. \u201cTheir critical systems, from electricity and plumbing to heating and air conditioning, still run manually for the most part – by reference to blueprints, diagrams, construction records, maintenance notes, and other industrial-age documents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paper persists because \u201cIt\u2019s a pain to put it all online. There\u2019s just too much of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, new services simplify the process. They enable organizations to bring their buildings\u2019 paper documents online quickly and then manage digitally forever after.<\/p>\n

The report presents information from a leader in this new industry, California startup SmartCSM<\/a>. \u201cThe majority of the world\u2019s buildings are managed from documents that are inaccurate, incomplete, disorganized, illegible, or entirely missing,\u201d says Craig Caryl, the company\u2019s CEO. \u201cThese legacy buildings are too backward to get smart except in bits and pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Operating in the cloud, thanks to services like SmartCSM\u2019s, changes all that. It offers broad opportunities for saving time and money while reducing accidents and waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example,\u201d says Daniel Scalisi, SmartCSM\u2019s Chief Operating Officer, \u201ctechnicians fix problems faster when they have immediate access to critical data. Productivity increases of 30 percent are common.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, \u201cManaging buildings in the cloud is the first step toward the Internet of Things with artificial intelligence, our next electronic revolution,\u201d Caryl adds.<\/p>\n

Over time, smart buildings could evolve into genius buildings, fostering profound changes in society, according to the report.<\/p>\n
