Google | Building Operating System (BOS): An Enterprise Approach to Digital Buildings
The IBcon Smart Building Best Practice Showcase is an annual event held at the Realcomm | IBcon conference where real estate leaders present their most innovative, technology driven commercial and corporate real estate projects. These projects demonstrate leading-edge technologies and vision for intelligent and adaptive design that is transforming the next generation of IT-enabled real estate. The Weekly News Briefing will feature a unique Showcase project each week.
Google’s global real estate vision is grounded in the same value system it brings to the workplace and community: designing the best place to work; building and operating sustainably; and being a helpful neighbor. From developing walkable campuses and neighborhoods to achieving net-zero emissions across all operations by 2030, Google is meeting and exceeding every benchmark for new workspace designs and technologies that can evolve for future needs. The underlying digital infrastructure ensures buildings will be cyber secure, receptive to new technology and deployments, and have the flexibility to enable key use cases as needed. This approach to digital buildings is implemented through the Building Operating System (BOS) Program and technical framework, which includes products, solutions, strategies, standards and transformation to create end-to-end digital buildings at Google.
