Living labs test smart-building tech
A new, cross-province initiative is evolving the living lab environment by testing and developing smart technologies and building solutions before they go to market.
The $6.5-million project – dubbed the Smart Building Living Labs Initiative – in Ontario and Quebec is powered by Morguard, CENGN (Centre of Excellence in Next Generation Networks) and Nokia. It will demonstrate smart technologies in three types of real estate: commercial, retail and residential.
