To fully appreciate the value that modern analytics brings to the built environment, it is essential to understand the full breadth of its capabilities and the various systems it interacts with. The Building Analytic Market Scope is comprehensive, covering a wide range of building systems and delivering insights that impact everything from energy consumption to occupant well-being. This extensive and expanding scope is a key reason the market is projected to grow from USD 7.63 billion to over USD 18.5 billion by 2035, a journey powered by a strong 8.39% annual growth rate. The scope is not limited to a single function but represents a holistic approach to creating a data-driven, intelligent building.

The core of the market's scope is centered on the analysis of the "HVAC" (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. HVAC systems are the largest consumer of energy in most commercial buildings, and they are also the most complex. The scope of building analytics includes continuously monitoring the performance of all the major HVAC components, such as chillers, boilers, air handling units, and VAV boxes. It involves using AI-powered Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) to automatically identify when these components are malfunctioning or operating inefficiently. This HVAC-focused scope is where the largest and most immediate energy savings are typically found.

A second major part of the market's scope is the analysis of other building systems, including lighting and plug loads. The scope here includes monitoring the energy consumption of the building's lighting systems and ensuring that lighting schedules are optimized. It can involve integrating with smart lighting controls to dim or turn off lights in unoccupied areas. The scope is also expanding to include the analysis of "plug loads"—the energy consumed by all the devices that are plugged into electrical outlets, such as computers, printers, and office equipment. By providing a more granular view of all sources of electricity consumption, the scope is broadening to cover a building's entire energy footprint.

Looking to the future, the market's scope is expanding beyond just energy and equipment performance to include the "occupant experience." The scope is now growing to include the continuous monitoring of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). This includes analyzing data from sensors that measure Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) parameters like CO2, humidity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It also includes analyzing thermal comfort and lighting levels. The goal is to use this data to create an environment that is not only energy-efficient but is also healthy, comfortable, and conducive to the productivity and well-being of the people inside the building. This human-centric expansion of the scope is a major and growing focus for the industry.
