Who your reader is: Ms. Arlene Kreuk, Community Manager
 
Background: On behalf of Omni Group, the owners of Scotia Estates, Arlene recently attended the annual conference of the Canadian Federation of Apartment Associations in Ottawa. At the conference, some rental property owners presented plans to upgrade their buildings to become “smart apartments.” Arlene wants to know more about “smart apartments”: what technology is available, and what the major advantages and disadvantages of smart technology are for building owners and tenants. She has asked you to research and write an analytical report to help her decide whether to suggest upgrading to smart technology to Omni Group.
