Synopsis:

Emerging standards, environmental and energy regulations, and a growing "Green" movement has created a fertile environment for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) solutions in commercial buildings. Based on 190 phone interviews and two years of investigation, this comprehensive report addresses the following questions:

What is the current state of WSN today?

What is the market size opportunity for WSN systems and services in the commercial building sector?

What target markets are adopting WSN solutions the fastest?

What are the major market drivers for each of the major seven WSN solutions in the top 11 markets?

Which WSN solutions are best suited for IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee?

How is the WSN commercial building value systems structured and what are the major competitive dynamics today?

Who are the most disruptive and sustainable companies in each of the four product segments?

Markets & drivers:

Drivers and inhibitors on the WSN market opportunity in each of the following solutions: Lighting, HVAC, metering, access control, temperature monitoring, condition monitoring, and air quality monitoring
Market forces analysis of each of the following target markets: Office, Retail, Healthcare, Lodging, Food sales, Education, Public administration, Warehousing, Manufacturing, Data centers, Apartment buildings

Market sizing (2007-2011):

Equipment forecasts by unit (nodes and gateways) and by revenue in each target market for each of the following solutions: Lighting, HVAC, metering, access control, temperature monitoring, condition monitoring, and air quality monitoring
WSN Services forecasts for each solution/target market

Value system:

In-depth analysis and research data on 58 companies including component suppliers, module makers, systems manufacturers, and backend systems/services providers

Product segmentation

Disruption & sustainability charts

Technology dynamics: protocols and frequencies supported, development capabilities, integration strategies, applications, and services

Profiles: offerings, partners, financials

Targeted solutions

Examples from our research findings include the following:
Global revenues, including WSN equipment and services, for commercial building WSN solutions will be $2.5 billion in 2011.

Nearly two-thirds of the building control and facility managers that ON World interviewed for this study are familiar with WSN and one out of five are current wireless sensor users.

61% of the interviewees plan to adopt an energy management solution within the next 18 months.
There are several emerging market opportunities in high demand yet underserved solutions such as lighting, temperature monitoring, and condition monitoring in manufacturing, warehousing, and data centers.

WSN services, including hosted software, management and maintenance, will be the fastest growing product segment over the next five years.

Primary research:

115 VPs, directors and managers with building operations and facility management

75 OEMs, systems integrators, module makers, and component suppliers
