Knowledge base

Background on the components the IT-Label assesses, in plain language, without you needing to be an IT specialist.

The IT-Label looks at a building's complete digital foundation: connectivity, infrastructure, Smart Building and the next-generation facilities. These articles explain what's behind that, and why it matters.

Connectivity and infrastructure

Why fibre optic is the basis of every higher delivery level, and why 'up to the building' means something different from 'into your space'.

What happens when one connection fails, and why a second line is no longer a luxury for many organisations.

Why 'there is WiFi' says nothing, and what coverage and capacity mean in practice.

Why latency often matters more than speed once your applications run in the cloud.

From climate control and access control to booking systems, and why integration makes the difference.

A building with smart systems also has an attack surface. What that means for owner and tenant.

What mobile networks do and don't solve, and why they don't replace fixed infrastructure.

How you build today for requirements you don't yet know, without over-dimensioning everything.

How the growth of AI and data processing is changing the demands on networks, and what that requires of a building.
