Get Smart Building Insight approved

Smart Building Insight is specialized market intelligence for professionals working across smart buildings, building controls, energy and facility management software, and the broader Building OpTech ecosystem.

This page provides a concise business case—and a copy-and-paste request—to help readers expense an annual SBI subscription through their employer.

Why organizations subscribe

A paid Smart Building Insight subscription provides:

  • Market intelligence that is difficult to assemble elsewhere. SBI tracks important acquisitions, investments, partnerships, product launches, public-company developments, and other activity across a fragmented market.

  • Industry developments relevant to product and business strategy. The publication helps readers understand not only what happened, but how those developments may affect vendors, investors, building owners, and other market participants.

  • Independent market analysis. SBI provides an outside perspective on company strategies, competitive positioning, market structure, and the implications of major industry developments.

  • A more efficient way to follow the market. Rather than monitoring dozens of company announcements, earnings releases, funding reports, and industry publications, subscribers receive a curated and analyzed view of the developments that matter.

How teams use SBI

Subscribers use Smart Building Insight to support:

  • Product strategy and roadmap decisions

  • Competitive and market intelligence

  • Corporate development and investment research

  • Go-to-market planning and positioning

  • Partnership and ecosystem strategy

  • Executive and board-level market updates

  • Customer, vendor, and acquisition diligence

What a paid subscription includes

Paid subscribers receive the complete Smart Building Insight publication, including in-depth analysis that is not included in the free edition.

Subscribers also receive access to proprietary resources and industry trackers covering areas such as acquisitions, partnerships, company activity, and public-market performance.

Annual subscription: $180 / year, renewed annually
Suggested expense category: Market intelligence, industry research, or professional development

Hi [Manager’s name],

I’d like to expense an annual subscription to Smart Building Insight, a specialized market intelligence publication covering smart buildings, building software, controls, energy management, and the broader Building OpTech market.

I will use this publication to monitor competitive activity, acquisitions, investments, product launches, partnerships, and other industry developments relevant to our product and market strategy. SBI also provides independent analysis of what these developments mean for companies like ours participating in the market.

The annual cost is $180. I believe the subscription will save research time and provide useful input for [product strategy / competitive intelligence / investment research / business development].

Additional information is available here.

Would you be comfortable with me expensing the annual subscription under market intelligence or professional development?

Thanks,

[Your Name]
