Operational technology (OT) asset management has become more than a back-office function—it’s a strategic lever for driving net operating income (NOI), improving tenant experience, and future-proofing portfolios. In this four-part blog series, we’ll break down the key capabilities that matter most and share actionable insights from the field. Check out Part 1 of this series in our #IBInsights newsletter in which IB experts Tesh Patel and Chad Andre outline how streamlined OT asset management reduces costs, downtime, and complexity. #buildingtechnology #assetmanagement #smartbuildings #intelligentbuilding #cre #commercialrealestate #NOI #operationaltechnology #opex #operatingexpenses

Intelligent Buildings was founded in 2004 by Tom Shircliff and Rob Murchison. What started over a lunchtime conversation at Panera Bread over how frustrating this industry has become led to our founders creating a service to sustainably impact the world’s built environment. Bringing together aspects of building technology design, engineering, and consulting, we started our business at a time there were no methodologies—we had to create them.?? ? We paved the way in creating impactful, innovative solutions for building owners based on the belief that technology inside a building should work for you, not the other way around. Over the past 20 years, we’ve partnered with some of the world’s top building owners and investors to create, meet, and exceed their outcomes, helping reduce risk, optimize operations, and enhance building technology performance. ?

???From a Vision to an Inflection Point: The IB Story Fresh off Beyond Bricks Charlotte 2025- https://beyondbricks.ai??- an event where leaders gathered to explore the evolution of?CRE technology, transit-oriented development, and smarter operations, I can’t help but reflect on how our journey started. In?2004, Tom and I sat down at a?Panera Bread, frustrated by the complexities of tech in CRE. We knew there had to be a better way—one that simplified?digital infrastructure?to help owners, operators, and tenants?boost NOI, streamline operations, and create better spaces.?That idea sparked?Intelligent Buildings—and 20 years later, it’s been an incredible ride. We’ve had the privilege of working with some of the world’s leading?building owners, investors, and operators, transforming how they?design, deploy, and manage technology. But the momentum we saw at?Beyond Bricks?makes it clear: ???The industry is at an inflection point.?Smart buildings are no longer a niche conversation—they are the foundation for?high-performing assets, empowered property management teams, and engaged tenants. At?IB, our mission remains the same: ??Place digital infrastructure at the heart of CRE portfolios ??Reduce costs, boost productivity, and enhance NOI ??Deliver real impact through assessment, advice, and 24/7 managed services We’re energized for what’s ahead—let’s keep the momentum going! ?? ???Want to see how these conversations are shaping the future of CRE??Check out?https://beyondbricks.ai?for insights from the event. #IntelligentBuildings #BuildingTechnology #Innovation #SustainableSolutions #BuildingOwners #RiskReduction #OperationsOptimization #BeyondBricks #CRETech #SmartBuildings #DigitalInfrastructure #PropertyManagement #IntelligentBuildings #TechnologyPerformance

?? AI is a buzzing topic in the industry right now. How will it affect commercial real estate (CRE) operations? Can building operators use it in their daily work? This month, our experts will focus on what they're seeing in the industry—how AI is being adopted or rejected and how you can use it as a tool to optimize your building's operations. #AI #artificialintelligence #smartbuildings #intelligentbuildings #cre #commercialrealestate #buildingoperations #buildingtechnology

Ever wonder why the smartest CRE owners invest in building tech that pays for itself? Let’s break it down: ?A typical commercial building spends $20K+ per month on energy alone. ?? Unexpected vendor repairs? Thousands more. ??Security risks? They can cost even more in compliance penalties and downtime. So why are CRE portfolios still wasting money on these “hidden” costs? Because most building systems don’t work together, that inefficiency drives up costs—and most owners don’t even see it happening. ?? What if for less than $2K/month, you could: ?? Cut energy waste by 5-10% ?? Slash unnecessary vendor fees ?? Lower cyber risks that drive insurance premiums up ?? Actually *use* your building’s data for smarter decisions That’s exactly what IntelliNet delivers: ?? Not software—a fully managed service that connects, protects, and optimizes your building’s entire tech ecosystem. ?? Immediate cost savings. Long-term portfolio value. ?? You’re already paying for these problems. Why not pay less—and fix them? ?? Let’s see what your savings could look like. No pitch. Just the numbers. #CRE #CommercialRealEstate #SmartBuildings #CostSavings #PropTech #BuildingTechnology #NOI

Ever wonder if your building is costing you more than it should? Most CRE owners and operators assume their energy, maintenance, and security costs are just the price of doing business—but what if they aren’t? Think about it: - How many vendor invoices are you paying for fixes that shouldn’t be necessary? - How much energy is being wasted because your systems aren’t talking to each other? - How many compliance and cybersecurity risks are hidden inside your building right now? The reality is, most buildings are overpaying—not because owners aren’t smart, but because the technology inside them was never designed to work together. What if you had a team watching your building’s systems 24/7, making sure you’re not wasting money or exposing yourself to unnecessary risk? That’s exactly what IntelliNet does: - It’s not just software—it’s a fully managed service. - We connect and protect every system in your building. - We take care of it for you—so you can focus on running your portfolio, not chasing vendors. CRE leaders who use IntelliNet pay less, secure more, and finally gain control over their building data—without lifting a finger. If this resonates, let’s talk. No sales pitch—just a conversation about where those hidden costs might be showing up in your portfolio. #cre #commercialrealestate #IntelliNetServices #managedservices #buildingtechnology #cybersecurity #smartbuildings #NOI
