The International Conference on BIM Technology is one of the biggest annual BIM

Some ideas on how IoT can be used in buildings and help property management. (will keep update the list if found interesting ideas) People counting sensor + thermostats sensor can be used to finetune AC distribution / lighting and thus reduce energy use People counting sensor can also help track how space/
