How Smart Buildings Are Affecting Commercial Tenancies?

Image
 Smart buildings are changing the way commercial tenancies work by offering more comfort, control and savings. These buildings use smart systems to manage lighting, temperature, security and energy use, which helps lower costs and improve the experience for tenants.

This makes smart buildings more attractive and competitive in the rental market. Tenants also benefit from improved safety features and easier building management.
