- Professionally installed systems.
- A minimum of two or more interconnected systems (HVAC, lighting, blinds, occupancy sensors, security etc.).
- Open systems/platforms with protocols such as KNX, BACnet and LON.
- Wired controllers/systems with the capability to integrate wireless devices and cloud connection.
- Most systems installed in buildings with floor space below 25,000 sq. ft or 2,323 m2.
It says that value is in Manufacturer Selling Prices (MSP) covering products (not labour). The study does not cover plug & play products installed in the residential market, nor does it cover systems connected to big plant equipment.
