Smart buildings are not a new concept. For decades, the technology industry and building automation sectors have overpromised and underdelivered in regard to “smart.” Digital capabilities and our practices have since advanced and matured, and now is the time to unlock the value of connected and instrumented devices and systems in buildings. Being intentional and deliberate about your “smart” journey will unleash the potential of your building to be greener, healthier, and more secure, providing more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive experiences. This session will demystify smart buildings and provide a hands-on approach to leveraging the exciting capabilities of today’s digital and experience economy. Through this session, we will explore lessons from today’s leading smart building models worldwide and introduce sustainable practices that can accelerate the successful digitization of the built environment.

The future is here. The technology is ready. The time is now.
