The Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA) has released the first of three modules exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the intelligent buildings industry. CABA commissioned Frost & Sullivan, a business consulting firm, to evaluate the sector’s key challenges and opportunities and identify response measures that will help build resiliency. This first module focuses on immediate implications, key regulatory guidance and forward-looking mitigation measures.
“Early in the pandemic, organizations across the industry were seeing a profound shift taking place in their business, and they identified an urgent need to bring together actionable data, best practices, and lessons learned to take account of the changes under way,” said Ron Zimmer, CABA’s president and CEO. “CABA’s Board of Directors and the Steering Committee for the project recognized that the findings that would emerge at three distinct stages in this research should come out as soon as they became available, so we are very pleased to be able to release Module 1 today.”
