What’s next in the evolution of smart buildings? Everything is pointing toward big data and making greener decisions based on energy analytics. These smart buildings feature the latest technology to help reduce energy usage and more.
“Smart building technology allows us to operate buildings based on where people are and what their immediate needs are for lighting and HVAC and things like that,” says SVP of Energy and Sustainability Services Darlene Pope, who leads JLL's Smart Building Program. “If [our clients] understand who needs what space when, they can actually reduce their overall real estate footprint by condensing more people into less space, or moving to more of a mobile workforce. It’s all about data-driven business decisions.”
