- A live virtual replica of a building or portfolio fed by sensor and operational data, used for simulation, maintenance planning and energy optimisation. Digital twin platforms sit at the intersection of the smart building and ConTech sides of the show.
- Smart building
- A property where systems such as HVAC, lighting, access control and metering are connected and managed through data. Smart building hardware and software providers use Recotech to reach landlords and facility managers.
- BMS (building management system)
- The control layer that monitors and operates a building's mechanical and electrical systems. BMS integration is a common requirement when property owners compare IoT and energy management products at the show.
- Embodied carbon
- The emissions associated with extracting, manufacturing, transporting and installing construction materials, before a building is used. Low-carbon material suppliers and carbon accounting tools addressing embodied carbon exhibit in the built-environment technology space Recotech covers.
