Key Drivers – identify what is influencing developers and designers as they plan for new buildings and adaptive reuse of existing buildings, including the sociotechnical issues that affect the uses of building technology, with an emphasis on public mandates for building decarbonization.
Technology – Explore the intersection of PropTech (property technology) with building users while identifying the opportunities, key personas, and challenges of implementing this technology for building owners and developers.
Data – Examine the role of data in benchmarking and performance verification while planning for Net Zero and carbon-neutral buildings while grasping the nuance of what data generated by the building is important to which audience.
Certifications – Explore which building certifications or standards best suit new vs. existing buildings and how industry certifications and standards impact technology procurement decisions.
Operations – Explore high-performance buildings’ operational considerations, including multidisciplinary design coordination, commissioning, data transparency, and cybersecurity.
Finances – Establish metrics for high-performance building financial goals and Benefit-Cost Ratios.
Decarbonizing existing and new buildings is a top priority of cities worldwide, from New York to Tokyo. At the same time, companies are seeking more appealing facilities amidst enduring reluctance to office returns from workers. In response, owners, architects, engineers, and real estate professionals are racing to identify technologies, critical data, operating models, and financial cases that enable the success of modern retrofits and designs.
In 2024, building owners, developers, architects, and engineers need to meet new performance mandates and address societal needs for everything from energy savings and carbon emissions reduction to occupant safety, wellness, and increased productivity. Specifically:
