To tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, we need to demand more from our assets. With buildings linked to around 40 percent of global energy consumption, efforts to decarbonise the real estate sector are essential.

Smart Buildings are on the front line of these efforts - with the market forecast to be worth over $120bn by 2026. But smart technology isn’t just helping us reach sustainability goals, it improves all aspects of the way a building functions, allowing us to monitor, optimise and predict to a much greater level.

In this episode we find out what a smart building is, the mega trends driving their demand, and learn about the technology that powers a truly smart building. We examine the real estate sector’s own digitalization journey. And we look to the future, learning about some of the exciting innovations coming down the line.

Your host is Ed Whittaker, and on the panel we have:

• Colin Ma, CEO Fabriq
• Philippe Le Fort, Smart Buildings team, PATRIZIA
