This presentation explores the increasingly symbiotic relationship between Smart Buildings and Smart Workplaces. We we can see that technology has dramatically changed the world around us and is increasingly being considered in building design. Tenancies are also being influenced by the use of technologies which now need to be considered in the design process of a base building. The process needs to be holistic and consider: a range of drivers, lifecycle cost management, interdisciplinary design and be data centric.

The Symbiosis of
Smart Buildings &
Smart Workplaces

2. imagine your workplace of the future

3. is it greener?

4. green
is it technology rich?

5. is it highly personalised?

6. is it connected to a local community?

7. is it fully integrated into your building?

8. is it connected to the cloud?

9. is it connected to things?

10. we may not know the future…
but we can see that technology has
already dramatically changed the
world around us

29. The process of how we create
smarter and more integrated
buildings and workplaces is a
fundamental design and
technological challenge

30. ...our traditional design processes
appear flawed when creating highly
integrated environments

31. we need to consider behavioural change
