If The Walls Could Talk is a series of conversations about smart buildings, connecting key thinkers in the property world with each other, and you.

You’ll hear from landlords and developers, advisors and tenants in the smart building space all of whom bring their unique perspectives on what the term smart building actually means and what it takes to create a smart building that works.

The series follows four key themes throughout and leaves you with practical takeaways from each conversation.

  1. How to approach creating a smart building.
  2. User-first design: How to create a smart building that delivers.
  3. Technical foundations of smart: How to create a smart building that works
  4. Smart and sustainability: Reducing the environmental impact of the built environment

“A smart building is one that delivers outstanding outcomes for all users, through digital technology, to exceed their evolving expectations”.

The definition of a smart building, following a user-centric and outcomes-driven perspective, recognizes that a smart building is about using the best technology, processes and procedures available to deliver outstanding outcomes for all users.

But how can developers make a building smart when many critical design decisions are dependent on the specific wants and needs of the building users?

Throughout this topic, we discuss how to prioritize user stories in order to create the best experiences for all building users by understanding the value of amenities, how best to integrate different technologies and, the value of data in a smart building.
