At the end of its life, the various standardised components would be recycled, reused or redeployed, creating a circular economy.As the Internet of Things evolves and built assets become smarter, gathering increasing amounts of data, they could become self-optimising, intelligent buildings – recognising the need for a change in air or lighting levels.
