How clever is clever?
04 July 2019
We are in an age of “smart
washing”.
Intelligent systems all proclaiming to deliver clever
buildings and in turn, assets that work smarter and improve returns.
It is clearly confusing to see so many self-proclaiming that their
building management software and associated property management systems
are the smartest and best.
Now there is a rigorous methodology that can be applied across the
world; the global
intelligent building index (IB index).
As the built world moves towards digitisation there is a growing need
for a framework used to assess and rank the relative intelligence of
smart buildings internationally. To figure out what is needed and for
what purpose. To distinguish the fanciful from the functional.
The global IB Index will be launched at #Realcomm in Nashville this
week. It offers a way of sifting through the dross and coming up with
universal criteria on sustainability, efficiency and operations that
measures and compares performance. Instead of subjective assertions,
there is science.
I am proud to have the opportunity to represent
EG's data-driven
investment strategy and chair a committee of industry leaders from
Willow,
Investa,
UTS and
Microsoft. Together we offer a technical
framework and benchmarking capability and make decisions on
technological capabilities aligned to building intelligence objectives
and project budgets.
The IB Index offers a way of sifting through the dross and coming up
with universal criteria on sustainability. I am proud to have the
opportunity to represent EG’s data-driven investment approach as the
Chair of the committee driving the change.
