Designing Buildings For Users Means Designing Buildings With Users
Infrastructure provides connectivity and connectivity provides the basis of smart buildings, therefore, it is essential to get that infrastructure right from the outset. Upgrading the hard infrastructure of connectivity within a building retrospectively is costly, complex, and highly disruptive so, if the intention is to minimize problems over the entire lifecycle of the facility, then […]
Unmanageable Smart Building Complexity is Holding Back Progress
“A record is a circular lump of vinyl into which is embossed a series of bumps and grooves, that when rotated and a fine needle run in said grooves, emits sounds we call music. If the grooves get damaged, the needle sticks in a hollow and endlessly repeats the same series of sounds,” reads an […]
New Challenges for Commercial Real Estate Mean New Challenges for Cities
“The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis has hit the commercial real estate sector hard. Containment measures implemented in response to the pandemic severely affected economic activity and reduced the demand for commercial property,” states the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) April 2021 Global Financial Stability Report: Preempting a Legacy of Vulnerabilities. “Part of the adverse impact — […]
Emerging Standards & Falling Costs Could Drive Widespread HCL Adoption
Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) has been part of the smart building discussion for some years now but its implementation has so far been limited to only the most advanced facilities. While the biological benefits of the technology are proven, the technical and financial elements required for the widespread implementation of HCL in a broad spectrum of […]
The Competitive Advantage of Having a Healthy Smart Building Has Never Been Greater
Our buildings are in the midst of a crisis, not just the pandemic that has reduced commercial building occupancy to zero for extended periods in the past year but also a crisis of how to operate in the post-COVID environment. Public health will remain center stage even after lockdowns end and employees are allowed to […]
Low Economic Growth is Not a Sustainable Solution to Climate Change
Global energy demand dropped by an estimated 5% in 2020, leading to declines of 8% in oil demand, 7% in coal, and 3% in natural gas, resulting in a 7% drop in total energy-related CO2 emissions. The contribution of renewables to the mix has actually increased slightly despite a 2% fall in global electricity demand […]
Recording: Overcoming Tech Obsolescence in Smart Buildings

Memoori was joined by Mike Hook from building transformation specialists, LMG and building technology consultant, Ray D’Urso. We discussed how the lifespan of technologies amidst a rapidly changing landscape of user requirements and […]
Small Commercial Buildings Are a Big Opportunity for Technology Growth
Our image of large cities tends to be dominated by skyscrapers and large office complexes, but the reality is that these big buildings only make up a tiny fraction of total commercial building stock. In fact, 94% of the commercial building in the US are made up of properties with under 50,000 square feet of […]
