Unlock the Secret to a Smart, Sustainable Future: How the New ICT Code Changes Everything You Thought You Knew About Buildings!

The creation of the Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) code for buildings, known as CSA EXP100:22, marks a significant milestone in providing much-needed uniformity and consistency in the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of what many consider to be a critical 4th utility for the built environment. This code addresses the need for standardized guidelines in the building industry for the integration of smart technologies and IoT solutions, aiming to enhance security, reliability, and scalability of various building systems.

As the Building Intelligence industry continues to advance, the primary concerns for many developers, owners, and operators remain network reliability, redundancy, security, data and privacy management, along with the analysis of Day 2 operational costs and real Return on Investment (ROI).

"CSA EXP100:22 is not merely a set of guidelines; it's the blueprint for the future of smart, sustainable building. By providing a uniform approach to ICT infrastructure, we're enhancing security, scalability, and efficiency across the industry. This is the essential first step towards a world where every building is not just a structure but an intelligent, engaged part of our daily lives." - Mike Prsa, P.Eng., SmartScore AP, Vice President

The execution of smart IoT-driven initiatives relies heavily on the above-mentioned building converged network or ICT infrastructure. The ability to allow primary building systems, as well as specific IoT-based sensors and their corresponding software and backend infrastructure, to communicate over a common, robust, secure communication platform is vital. Adhering to specific governmental and corporate data and privacy rules, the new code promises positive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) implications and ensures the level of service, speed, availability, and uptime needed to confidently make business decisions. This represents the essential first step towards building a smart, sustainable, efficient, and engaged world.
