"Quick & very helpful. We have been using Novedge for years and are very happy with their quick service when we need to make a purchase and excellent support resolving any issues."
Will Woodson
"Scott is the best. He reminds me about subscriptions dates, guides me in the correct direction for updates. He always responds promptly to me. He is literally the reason I continue to work with Novedge and will do so in the future."
Edward Mchugh
"Calvin Lok is “the man”. After my purchase of Sketchup 2021, he called me and provided step-by-step instructions to ease me through difficulties I was having with the setup of my new software."

**Building Information Modeling (BIM)** is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. It serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility, forming a reliable basis for decisions during its lifecycle. BIM is employed extensively in the construction and architectural industries to enhance project management and coordination.
The **Internet of Things (IoT)** refers to a network of physical devices that communicate and exchange data over the internet. In the context of building management, IoT devices and systems are increasingly deployed to create smart buildings that are more efficient, comfortable, and secure.
Integrating IoT with BIM significantly enhances building performance and efficiency through real-time data collection and analysis, energy management, and predictive maintenance.
IoT integration with BIM also enhances the occupant experience and safety through smart building features, safety systems, and personalized environments.
One of the key challenges in integrating IoT with BIM is ensuring interoperability and seamless data integration across diverse devices and platforms.
With the proliferation of IoT devices in buildings, data security and privacy have become paramount concerns.
Integrating advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) with BIM and IoT holds immense potential for transforming building management and operations.
The integration of emerging technologies such as 5G, digital twins, and edge computing further enhances the capabilities of BIM and IoT.
Integrating IoT with BIM represents a transformative shift towards smarter, more efficient buildings. The synergy between these technologies enhances building performance, occupant experience, and operational efficiency while addressing challenges related to interoperability and data security. As advanced analytics, AI, and emerging technologies continue to evolve, the future of building management promises even greater innovation and impact. Industry stakeholders are encouraged to embrace and invest in these technologies, paving the way for a new era of intelligent and sustainable buildings.
