As more workers look to telecommute, relocate, and work, live, and play together, the lines between traditional classifications of building types such as “office”, “retail”, “recreation” and “residential” space are blurring,” states our latest report: Future Proofing Smart Commercial Buildings. The report is a deep-dive into future proofing, a topic becoming critical to smart building design due to the immense rate of technological development in our cyber-physical revolution. To future proof buildings for the next 50 or 100 years is a huge challenge and requires us to understand the various disruptive trends emerging today. From there we can predict, calculate, and imagine the potential ways we might use our buildings in the future and plan for them. Consider the flexible and remote working trends […]
