Intelligent Buildings, LLC

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. We're offering a complimentary cost savings report for a limited time. Find out how much you're overpaying in your buildings and where you could be cutting those costs: https://lnkd.in/gftDadM3 #smartbuildings #cre #commercialrealestate #buildingtechnology #buildingsystems #advisory #assessment #managedservices #IntelliNetServices #costsavings #operationalexpenses #opex #operationaltechnology #OT

?? 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

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. ?? Part 1: Efficiency – How streamlined OT asset management reduces costs, downtime, and complexity. ?? Part 2: AI – Using predictive analytics to move from reactive maintenance to proactive performance optimization. ?? Part 3: Integration – The power of connecting systems, data, and workflows into a single, reliable source of truth. ?? Part 4: Simplicity at Scale – How to maintain clarity and control as operations expand across multiple sites. Check out Part 1 from our Senior Director of Client Services, Tesh Patel, and our Practice Lead of Technical Consulting, Chad Andre, below! #CRE #commercialrealestate #IoT #assetmanagement #buildingtechnology #smartbuildings #cybersecurity #operationaltechnology #OT

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

#FlashbackFriday: Beyond Bricks in Charlotte was an incredible gathering of real estate and smart building leaders! ??? From thought-provoking discussions on building automation, connectivity, and sustainability to valuable networking, the event fostered meaningful connections and big ideas for the future of the built environment. A huge thank you to Intelligent Buildings, LLC and Stiles for their partnership in making this event a success! What was your biggest takeaway from Beyond Bricks? Let us know in the comments! ?? #Realcomm #IBcon #BeyondBricks2025 #SmartBuildings #CRE #CommercialRealEstate #BuildingAutomation #BuildingTechnology #Sustainability #Connectivity #IntelligentBuildings #Stiles

??? Smart buildings are not the future. They are the present. ?? The path to higher NOI is smarter operations, not just higher rents. ?? Urban growth without CRE innovation is a missed opportunity. These are just some of the takeaways from Realcomm Events #BeyondBricks2025. Check out our CEO, Rob Murchison's initial thoughts about this exclusive event ?? #smartbuildings #NOI #urbandevelopment #cre #commercialrealestate #innovation #buildingtechnology #operationaltechnology #transitorientation

Realcomm Events #BeyondBricks2025 partnered with Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont to explore opportunities to work together and support Stacks+Joules, a nonprofit tech workforce program that teaches IoT and professional skills towards careers in building automation. This event raised over $25,000 for this cause! Thanks to your support, Stacks+Joules is launching a local chapter in Charlotte to train future tech talent in partnership with Goodwill. #IoT #smartbuildings #operationaltechnology #IT #BAS #buildingautomation #nonprofit

Charlotte's warm & hearty embrace! What a way to be introduced to this vibrant and forward-moving community. It was amazing to learn from past, current, and future leaders (shoutout to the 3 talented trainees from Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont!) With such support from Rob Murchison, Devon Newton, RPA, LEED GA, Lisa Woods, Marvin Kelley, Eric J Larsen, Kristian Hernandez, Jason Townsend the other side of the inflection in Charlotte will include Stacks+Joules launching local cohorts to provide the BAS talent needed for advancement!

Would you believe that smart buildings are still wasting resources? "Smart building technologies increasingly power Class A commercial real estate (CRE) portfolios, yet many properties still suffer from inefficiencies, hidden costs, and operational risks...These inefficiencies aren’t just operational burdens—They directly impact net operating income (NOI)." Check out the latest blog from our Senior Director of Client Services, Tesh Patel, that discusses how a shift toward managed services enables CRE portfolios to eliminate waste, extend asset lifecycles, and scale operational efficiency without additional headcount. #smartbuildings #NOI #IoT #cybersecurity #opex #operationaltechnology #buildingtechnology #cre #commercialrealestate #operationalefficiency
