Increasing regulations, consideration for a sustainable development where buildings have to play a key role in satisfying societal expectations, the need to improve the competitiveness of the Building industry to drive and stimulate product, service and process innovation and deployment: all those growing priorities are to generate an impact never achieved so far in the Built environment and the Construction processes, while at the same time, will lead in a near future to unprecedented research and business opportunities for innovative companies to deliver ICT-based solutions for future so-called “smart buildings and cities”, for the benefits of citizens, industry and governments.
