Forecast 2027: Software and analytics should capture a larger share of BAS spending in 2027 as owners add supervisory platforms, dashboards and optimization layers to existing control hardware.
03AI shifts from pilots to optimization
High confidenceA 2025 smart-building survey found that energy optimization was the leading AI application at 62% of respondents, followed by predictive maintenance and fault detection at 51%. The same survey reported that 88% rated AI’s impact on energy efficiency and cost reduction as positive or very positive.[1]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, AI adoption will move further toward measurable operating use cases, particularly HVAC optimization, fault prioritization and automated set-point recommendations rather than fully autonomous control.
04Digital twins expand across building portfolios
High confidenceThe 2025 smart-building survey found that more than 52% of respondents were actively using digital twins and another 22% were piloting or planning deployment. Real-time monitoring and visualization was the leading digital-twin purpose at 56%, followed by energy optimization at 43%.[1]
Forecast 2027: By 2027, digital twins will increasingly be deployed at portfolio scale for operational visibility, energy benchmarking and maintenance planning, with the strongest adoption among large owners and institutional operators.
05Wireless retrofits gain share in legacy buildings
Medium confidenceThe 2026 AHR Expo trend report identifies smarter retrofits as a major opportunity and specifically highlights cloud platforms, edge devices and integrated analytics as ways to modernize legacy systems without full replacement. It also identifies wireless and interoperable technologies as part of the sector’s shift toward flexible deployment.[60]
Forecast 2027: Wireless sensors, gateways and edge controllers should grow faster than traditional greenfield installations in 2027 because they reduce disruption and installation cost in occupied buildings.
06Open protocols pressure proprietary platforms
High confidenceThe 2026 AHR Expo trend report lists open data protocols and interoperability as leading industry topics and says customer demand for open, interoperable systems has grown significantly. NIST’s Digital Building Profile project is also developing standard approaches for interoperable digital-building information and services.[60][61]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, open-protocol integration and documented application programming interfaces will become stronger differentiators in BAS tenders, while proprietary vendors will continue adding integration tools to protect installed bases.
07Cybersecurity becomes a purchase requirement
High confidenceNIST’s building-systems cybersecurity project covers HVAC, lighting, elevators, physical security and other connected building services, and is developing cybersecurity application profiles with industry participants. NIST identifies BAS as operational technology that requires risk-based security controls tailored to building operations.[61][62]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, cybersecurity requirements will be embedded more often in BAS specifications, service contracts and remote-access policies, increasing demand for network segmentation, identity management, patching and monitoring services.
08HVAC electrification broadens BAS scope
High confidenceThe IEA reports that electricity’s share of energy use in buildings increased from around 25% in 2000 to nearly 40% in 2025. The IEA also reports that heat-pump sales in the United States were one-third higher than fossil-fuel-system sales in the first half of 2025.[63]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, BAS projects will increasingly coordinate heat pumps, electric resistance backup, thermal storage and ventilation, making controls more central to electrification economics and peak-load management.
