• New ways of thinking
Engineers, planners, architects etc have often not been trained to
consider ICT solutions to their problems.
• Breaking down the silos
ICT solutions often require a more holistic approach.
• Business Case
There is very little publicly available hard business case data available at
an individual project level.
Too much dependency on volatile public funding.
• Retrofit
It’s often difficult to retrofit smart solutions into existing buildings,
systems and infrastructure.
• Standards
A lack of agreed technical standards is delaying the implementation of
smart technologies.
