Of we er nu werken of leven, we willen ons prettig en comfortabel in een ruimte voelen. In bedrijfspanden spelen flexibiliteit en rendabiliteit bovendien een uiterst belangrijke rol. Hoe flexibeler de gebouwentechniek op nieuwe eisen kan reageren en zich aan nieuwe technische ontwikkelingen kan aanpassen, des te eerder zal deze techniek renderen. Bovendien is met het oog op het toenemende milieubewustzijn en de stijgende energiekosten een gebouwmanagement vereist dat intelligente oplossingen voor efficiënt energieverbruik biedt.
IFMA gaat op deze debatnamiddag tijdens de Realty beurs op T&T dieper in op dit thema en de impact van deze evolutie op de activiteiten van de Facility Manager en Real Estate professional.

Case Studies that related to Solar Oriented Design Principles, environmental responsive, in tropical climate. It was done as a group assignment, thus credits go to my group members as well.
Intelligent building is one that uses technology to enable efficient and economical use of resources, while creating a safe and comfortable environment for occupants.
Passive solar design is an important feature in the design of this building.The planning and orientation of spaces and building blocks ensures glare free daylight in all regularly occupied spaces. All the linear blocks are oriented in the East-West direction with shorter facades facing the sun.
Most of the south west facing walls are kept blank in order to protect the building from the harsh south west solar radiations. Where the south west walls have openings, they are protected by means of pergolas or projecting balconies. The east, west and south facades of the building have minimum glazing.
GREEN BUILDINGS
Uses less energy, water, natural resources
Generates less waste
Healthier for people living in it
Energy saved= 30-40% per day
Enhanced indoor air quality, light and ventilation
Potable water saving upto 20-30%
High productivity of occupants
Minimum generation of non-degradable waste
Lower operating costs and increase asset value
Hereby, I tried to make a case study report on the mixed-use building, for the sake of my design development. I tried to choose futuristic development on the condition of present Bangladesh.
Hope this study will help anyone to gain an idea on Mixed-use building

White paper - integrated | illuminated | intelligent - reinventing the workplaceBoris Zupančič
The traditional work environment is undergoing rapid change. Dedicated desks, like private offices with a nameplate, windows, and a door that closes, are going the way of large workstation computers and fax machines—still there, but the exception rather than the rule.
Workspaces are constantly evolving to incorporate IoT-enabled devices so that almost all aspects of a workspace are data-enabled and remotely driven to enhance worker experience.
This will undoubtedly cut costs and create more efficient ways to drive the productivity of your business. With rising real-estate costs, it is sometimes prohibitively expensive to move to modern workspaces.
<a href="https://www.faststreamtech.com/solutions/iot-solutions/smart-workspaces/">Faststream Technologies</a> transforms your current workspaces into an IoT-enabled smart workspace.
Faststream Technologies, with the integration of IoT, is able to automate efficient space utilization and create an office environment that reacts to human occupancy, making it conducive for increased productivity.

How Tenants & Landlords Can Work Together to Reduce Energy Consumption!Memoori
Ian Pierce from British Land Joined us to Discuss How Tenants & Landlords can Collaborate to Reduce their Building Energy Consumption.
Ian Shared Learnings from their HVAC Optimisation Strategy which has Helped British Land Reduce their Heating/Cooling Energy Consumption by 33% (year-on-year comparison) in their Storey Space at 100 Liverpool Street, London.
Companies don't know if they have the right amount of space to support hybrid-working. Even if they do, they are not equipped to effectively manage their space when they don't know who will be in the office; when they will be there; or how they will work together – do they have the right work-settings for some to be present in-person and some to be remote?

and sustainable
environment at The Edge

2. Case study
The Edge Amsterdam
Office Lighting
The Edge is an innovative, multi-tenant office
building in Amsterdam. The architect’s goal was
to create an intuitive, comfortable and productive
environment for employees that would inspire
sustainable building design around the world.
Opened in 2015, it received an outstanding score of
98.36% – the highest ever awarded – from BREEAM,
the world’s leading design and assessment method
for sustainable buildings.
A key aspect of the sustainable design is a connected
lighting system from Philips that enables employees
to personalize the lighting and temperature at their
workspaces via a smartphone app. The system also
provides data on activities in the workspace that
helps further reduce the CO2 footprint.
3. How it was done
OVG and Deloitte worked closely with Philips Lighting
who delivered a connected lighting system that uses
cutting-edge technologies to enhance the flexibility
of the open-plan office. It not only allows employees
to personalize the lighting and temperature at their
workspaces using a smartphone app, but it also
provides building managers with real-time data on
operations and activities. This data helps facility
managers to maximize operational efficiency as
well as reduce the building’s CO2 footprint, whilst
the personalization features create a premier
experience for employees. The designers had three
key objectives for the connected lighting system:
seamless integration with the building as a whole;
provision for customized solutions in The Edge’s
unique environment; and smart interfaces that allow
individuals to control their environment.
Making a difference in the workspace
Babette Bouman, Architect at Fokkema & Partners in
Delft, The Netherlands, led the interior design on The
Edge. She believes that dynamic working concepts
and innovative interactive technologies spell the end
of the desk as we know it. She said, “If you have an
activity-related work environment, you can choose
wherever you like to sit. I think the office of the future
will be meeting places, cafeterias and a place to meet
colleagues to collaborate.” Bouman put these ideas
into practice in The Edge, a landmark 40,000 square
meter building developed by OVG Real Estate.
It has a host of sustainability features, including solar
paneling, aquifer thermal energy storage for heating
and cooling, rainwater harvesting and a striking
15-story atrium with state-of-the-art daylighting and
natural ventilation.
In collaboration with principal tenants Deloitte
and AKD, Bouman was given free reign to design
the office environment. Her concept included
intelligent floorplans to enhance employee comfort
and efficiency, flex workspaces, and the use of
environmentally-friendly materials. “Deloitte is
committed to using and analyzing data to create
responsive and sustainable environments”, she
explains: “The agile work place concept is about
flexibility, and this lighting system is also about
flexibility. The connected lighting system and
custom iPhone app allows you to adjust your
climate and your lighting, according to your liking
that day. So if the sun shines brightly, you can tone
everything down to create a more comfortable way
of working - wherever you are in the building.”
Innovation is our highest
priority and we want our
employees to create a more
intuitive, comfortable and
productive environment. We
also raise the bar in terms of
data analysis, delivering new
insight into the use of the office
space. It shows how we can
reduce CO2 emissions from
buildings and create a more
sustainable world.”

Outlined version for reference
Life under a digital ceiling
The system uses nearly 6,500 connected LED
luminaires to create a ‘digital ceiling’ in the building’s
15 stories. With integrated sensors in 3,000 of these
luminaires that work with Philips Envision lighting
management software, the system captures, stores,
shares and distributes information throughout the
illuminated space. Facility managers use the software
to visualize and analyze this data, track energy
consumption and streamline maintenance operations.
The system uses 750 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
switches to connect lighting fixtures to the building’s
IT network. With PoE, Ethernet cables send both
power and data to the luminaires, eliminating the
need for separate power cabling.
The integrated sensors capture anonymous data
on room occupancy, temperature, and humidity,
which are used to precisely deliver lighting, heating,
cooling and cleaning resources with maximum
energy efficiency. Light levels, heating, cooling
and cleaning are reduced in low-occupancy areas
to save time, money and energy.
What it means
Individual employees use the system to create
a personal space. For example, the connected
luminaires use visible light communications (VLC) to
offer services to employees in the illuminated space.
VLC sends a code via the LED light beam and the
employee’s smartphone camera receives this code,
registering his or her location. With an iPhone app
designed for The Edge, the employee can control
the lighting above a specific desk, even in an open-
plan office. Employees also use the app to adjust the
lighting and temperature in meeting rooms. There
are more benefits, as the connected lighting system
enables employees to locate colleagues, check on
room availability and navigate from place to place.
Workspaces can also be customized on an ad-hoc
basis to provide the lighting for a particular activity.
Of course, LED lighting is also known for its low power
consumption, so energy savings were built in from day
one. The expected savings are €100,000 in energy
costs and €1.5 million in space utilization costs.

Our hope is that other
developers will follow this
lead and endeavor to create
innovative buildings that are
in a league with The Edge.”
Annemarie van Doorn,
Director of the Dutch Green Building Council
“
The last word…
The Philips connected lighting system at The Edge
is the world’s first fully-realized system of its kind.
By communicating and interacting with the
environment, office life becomes an immersive
experience. Employees personalize their
surroundings, thus making the building a more
inviting place to work.
The system demonstrates worldwide leadership in
sustainable practices and responsive, human-centric
working environments, which is shared by OVG,
Deloitte, and Philips. Annemarie van Doorn, director
of the Dutch Green Building Council, said, “OVG
has created an exemplary office building, that has
exceeded any other that we have rated worldwide
to date. Our hope is that other developers will follow
this lead and endeavor to create innovative buildings
that are in a league with The Edge.”
If The Edge testifies to the end of the desk as we
know it, employees and building managers seem to
appreciate it. “We are very happy with the design and
concept, as are the tenants and workers,” Bouman
says. “The building itself works. You feel the buzz
and you see that everybody is happy. When you see
people sitting near the coffee areas, sitting outside
from their workspaces and all the features of the
building work really well, you can tell The Edge has
so far been a success.”
