“I think it is key that the smart building design and operation phases be better joined up. That’s the most important technical gap in my opinion, which must be addressed to trigger the biggest impact on smart buildings,” Ray D’Urso, building technology consultant, told Memoori. “I agree, there is a significant divide between the design, build, and operate processes. When the buildings are being built there is just not enough engagement, even with BIM. That’s the biggest problem with smart buildings.” added Infrastructure Services Director at LMG, Mike Hook, during our February webinar on tech obsolescence. Building design tools, construction methods, and operational approaches are so fundamentally different that the information lost in translation between these phases is the root of many problems that buildings face. To address that root cause, we must develop a single system that allows construction and operation experts to influence design, then utilize that co-creation to direct construction and drive […]
