In a recent blog, Christopher Perry, senior analyst, buildings program at ACEEE, breaks down how different types of buildings can benefit from the latest interconnected technologies and takes an in-depth look at how four sectors (office, retail, hotels, and hospitals) use smart technologies differently. Download the full report here, and read the blog post in its entirety.
