Baking Digital into Smart Building DesignSmart Building digital capability is not just about controlling HVAC, M&E and lighting. Digital capability fundamentall affects building design as experienced by the user. Full exploitation of this potential is only possible by gathering the multi-disciplinary team early in the building design process. This session captures and distils the Best Available Practice developed during an intensive set of workshops held in June that brought together senior leadership from Estates and IT functions, Architecture, Construction and Smart Building specialists. SpeakerCeri WilliamsConsulting Enterprise ArchitectdesignITin![]() Ceri’s background stretches from industrial control systems development in the 1980’s, Command & Control systems in the 1990s, through to Enterprise Architecture and consulting at the Business/Technology interface. He regularly focuses as much on organisational and process design as technology architecture to address multi-organisational challenges of technology exploitation. designITin |

Data Quantity or Data Quality? How to achieve faster energy savings!Data quantity is important to understand your building’s energy and performance usage patterns. But data can be misleading if the quality of the data is poor. Both are required, without sacrificing time. John Dente, Founder & CTO of Onnec iQ discusses how the planning, collation and mapping of data can quickly and efficiently deliver results in energy savings and carbon reduction. SpeakerJohn DenteCTOOnnec iQ![]() Having been in technology and engineering since 1979 I thrive on constantly learning new things. I started providing MSI services back in July 2014 when I started a team that made Smart Buildings come to life. The first MSI in the UK project was a 770,000 sq.ft. iconic building for a global investment bank in the city of London. My team and I learned every day on that project and many of the principles we discovered and have since developed now form part of a very successful delivery team backed by own in house software development team. We have developed a unique approach to Smart Buildings as a whole that is founded on practical deliverable principles. We don't talk the art of the possible, we show how it can be done. Words are easy to write, showing is proof we understand it and that is what we do collectively as a team. Onnec iQ |

dTwin - Unlock the potential of your dataFrom planning to construction and the operation of a building, huge amounts of data are created by multiple stakeholders. However, this valuable information resides mostly in silos and thus becomes inaccessible throughout a building’s lifecycle. This not only creates inefficiencies due to constant and tedious re-work. Moreover, outdated and incomplete information leads to poor and error prone decisions which negatively affect buildings’ performance and increase operational costs. SpeakerJimmy AbualdenienHead of Digital Twin ProductNemetschek Group![]() Dr. Jimmy Abualdenien has spent over ten years developing enterprise cloud solutions, specifically for managing and validating AEC/O data throughout its lifecycle. He obtained his Ph.D. in computer science from the Technical University of Munich, Germany. During this time, he collaborated with Nemetschek on innovation projects focused on AI and cloud solutions.

FM, Workplace & Sustainability: Connecting the Dots by Breaking Down Data SilosToughening ESG requirements are forcing companies to look closer at their environmental and social impacts. With the built environment contributing around 40% of worldwide CO2 emissions – 27% if you zoom in on the manage & operations phase – it’s clear that facilities management has an essential role to play in setting and meeting ESG goals. And that the sector is not doing nearly enough. Whereas businesses that embrace ESG can see the fruits of their efforts by becoming more attractive to investors, customers, and prospective employees. Next to ESG compliance, the hybrid work model also brings new challenges for building and facility management. Such as managing variable occupancy, optimising the office footprint and configuration, and dealing with increased unpredictability. Or providing dynamic responses to employee needs in a fluid environment. Energy efficiency, space efficiency, long-term sustainable maintenance, health and well-being, workplace experience... these are all connected. Yet, these issues are often dealt with in isolation rather than in context. Companies that are looking to thrive in the post-pandemic era need to take a more holistic approach. They must break down the data silos across facilities, maintenance, space, energy, indoor climate, workplace, assets and ESG. This is not going to work with yesterday’s tools and mindsets. In the new world of facilities management, real-time data inputs from sensors, building equipment, and user devices – and the insights derived from them – are a game changer. IoT-related technologies and mobile tools can now better support FMs in enabling new, occupant-centred scenarios that drive employee autonomy, engagement, well-being, and productivity. While data analytics, visualisation, and benchmarking, provide the insights needed to create continuous impact on performance. With this talk we aim to demonstrate how FMs can leverage data for a successful future workplace strategy, and which are the technology enablers for this, illustrated with real-life examples. SpeakerBillal VindhaniUK&I Country ManagerSpacewell![]() After graduating in Internet Computing, Billal started his career in the Smart Buildings and IoT industry, holding positions in corporate organisations such as Schneider Electric, Honeywell, and Johnson Controls, as well as launching and working in his own start-up tech companies. Now almost two decades later, he’s still in love with this industry, that only gets more exciting as digital transformation intensifies. Billal’s experience spans across different countries, working directly with end users in key verticals such as Life Sciences, Commercial, Manufacturing, and Hospitality, and with channel organizations such as System Integrators, Telcos, and Facilities Management companies. It allowed him to gain great insights into the challenges all these organisations face, from managing their real estate portfolio, increasing operational efficiency, and implementing hybrid work models through to enhancing occupant engagement and improving energy efficiency with a drive to NetZero.
