72% of owners and operators to upgrade smart building solutions

At ISC West, which is running from 31st March to 4th April, Parks Associates released new research “Modernizing Multifamily Housing: Retrofitting Access Control,” in partnership with Kwikset, revealing nearly 72% of multifamily owners and operators report plans to upgrade existing smart building solutions in the next 12 months on at least one of the properties they own or operate.

“Retrofitting, especially access solutions, is gaining momentum in multifamily housing,” said Kristen Hanich, Director of Research, Parks Associates. “While many multifamily properties report that new construction is the bulk of their projects, demand for retrofitting is soaring, especially for solutions that can be deployed in place without requiring additional renovations.”

Parks Associates’ research study, “Smart Properties: The Value of IoT for MDUs” reported their smart building deployments had an impact varying between 15-20% on average savings for tested metrics.

“Retrofitting will continue to be highly impactful for many companies even after new construction activity picks up speed,” added Hanich. “Investments in smart building, done properly, will generate and continue to generate returns for many years to come.”
