Explore what your building could do better.
Practical thinking on smart building strategy, connected experiences and the evidence behind better performance.
Start with the outcome you want your building to achieve. These articles explore how to shape a technology brief, plan connected experiences and use building information to guide action. Our WELL and SmartScore guides connect certification ambitions with the requirements, responsibilities and evidence they need, with a comparison of BREEAM, NABERS UK and LEED scoring.
For a certification objective, start with our IWBI and WELL guide or SmartScore evidence guide. If you are appointing an adviser, the consultant deliverables guide includes a sample brief. The platform, resource-use and data-model perspectives explore more specific decisions. For an existing building, the observation guide explains how to prepare for a visit, record what you find and separate evidence from assumptions.
