Samsung Electronics and ABB said on Nov. 11 that they will help owners and investors of a range of commercial buildings—including offices, retail stores, restaurant chains, hotels, and apartment buildings—plan, install, and operate connected buildings more easily. This will allow customers to receive the two companies' solutions as an integrated package from a single source.

Commercial building projects typically involve multiple suppliers, each operating different systems, contracts, and support structures. This can increase costs and project timelines for building owners and investors and expose them to greater risks.

System integrators (SIs) participating in the project will receive training on the integrated solution from Samsung Electronics and ABB. They will be able to design, install, and deploy an integrated package covering lighting, indoor environment control, shading, access control, and energy metering, as well as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and digital displays.

ABB said, "This allows customers to receive the integrated solutions their projects require without having to coordinate separately with multiple suppliers."

Meanwhile, in Europe, requirements related to building automation and digitalization are set to be extended to small non-residential buildings by the end of 2029 under the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
