Teaching An Old Building New Tricks: Smart Tech for Historic Spectator Venues
Buildings are built, they get old, torn down and replaced. That’s just the way things go. Some buildings, however, make such an impact on their occupants and their neighborhood that tearing them down becomes a much more difficult decision. The character these buildings embody creates sentiment that prevents them from being demolished even when they […]
A Blueprint for Scalable Virtual Power Plants & A New Energy System
While many people don’t know what a virtual power plant is, those who do still might not realize the scale of the impact they could have on our energy system. One up and coming start-up is showing that virtual power plants aren’t just about turning buildings into power generating facilities but potentially turning real estate […]
WeWork: Millennial Fad or New Era for the Workplace?
During a recent visit to one of the two WeWork coworking office buildings in Seoul’s Gangnam district, I was met with DJs setting up speakers in the meeting space we normally use. “There’s a party here later. Let’s head to the 10th floor, they have a new craft beer in the lounge up there,” I […]
AI Technology and its impact on Intelligent Video Analytics
AI technology has developed fast in the last three years, driven by the introduction of GPU chip architectures and advanced Machine Learning / Deep Learning algorithms. Our New Report looks at how the combination of these two developments have allowed data to be processed at much higher speeds and given computers the ability to learn […]
Learning from Nature to Develop Advanced Workplace, Building & Urban Networks
We still have so much to learn from the natural world. In fact, it seems like many technological breakthroughs seek to mimic natural systems that have been functioning for thousands, if not millions, of years. Solar panels convert sunlight into energy like photosynthesis in the leaves of plants, honeycomb designs are increasingly seen in artitecture […]
Research Suggests Stress Can Increase Productivity Sparking New AI Debate
Employee comfort has been a hallmark of the workplace in the IoT era. Office design and technology has promised to raise worker comfort levels to bring about health, wellbeing and productivity benefits. New research suggests, however, that too much comfort can be negative and that stress is an important motivator for performance. How will modern […]
The Hot & Cold of it: Alphabet’s Project Malta Energy Storage Set to Spin-Off
It was almost exactly one year ago that X, Alphabet’s secretive “moonshot” development division, released the details of its energy storage concept code named Project Malta. Led by Nobel Prize–winning Stanford physics professor Robert Laughlin, the technology is said to offer vast cost and functionality improvements on lithium ion batteries and pumped hydroelectric for grid-scale […]
Asia-Pacific Continues to Lead the Building Internet of Things Market Through to 2022
The global market for the Building Internet of Things (BIoT) has been growing rapidly over the last decade with North America dominating the sector until recently. The rise of IoT adoption in buildings throughout the Asia-Pacific region in recent times is set to continue for at least the next five years. While the Asia-Pacific regions […]
