09:30 - 10:00
International Keynote: Why smart healthy buildings will become the “new normal”
To date, smart building’s health applications have focused on maintaining the best indoor temperature for occupants, developing intelligent lighting or improving air quality and ventilation. While all these systems do support general health, they do not help control the spread of diseases like Coronavirus. With many experts claiming that this kind of pandemic may become more common in the decades ahead, Smart Buildings need to develop a deeper toolkit to see how it can help.
- Examining the need to create buildings and workspaces that aren’t just frictionless, but also touchless – and the various technologies that can be used to achieve this.
- Keeping ahead of the technology curve in an era of rapidly changing digital ecosystems
- Highlighting the importance of digital solutions for tenants that offer insights around what is expected now, and what’s coming next
- Reviewing how data is collected and how the insights generated can lead to innovation in facilities management
- Using the data to reduce energy consumption for climate and sustainability goals as well as helping to improve public health and safety
10:00 - 10:30
Smarts-enabled customer experiences in the unlikeliest of places
The flow of people through a building is an area where new technology marry with creative solutions and elegant designs to provide mobility that is safe, experiences that are memorable and efficiencies that are measurable and replicable.
- What are the new global customer experience trends – from wearables to AI – and how do these trends inspire our approach to design and connectivity?
- Explore how a deep understanding of people-movement can enable us to spot opportunities to improve building performance and focus on the wellbeing and productivity of the tenants
- The forces of urbanisation and technological disruption continue to impact our world, the functions of buildings continue to evolve and customers’ expectations continue to grow, so how can technology and human-driven design help create the adaptive and flexible living and working spaces and destinations of tomorrow?
10:30 - 11:00
Morning networking and refreshment break
11:00 - 11:40
Panel Discussion: Creating buildings and asset portfolios that are Future-Ready
In this session we examine how the adoption and integration of technology within building systems can make them not only Smart, but Healthy and promote user wellbeing. From the implementation of smart lighting, HVAC, Wi-Fi networks and security throughout the buildings initial design and the development of its core infrastructure we can both innovate and build to last whatever the future brings. In the session we examine:
- Designing for resilience as well as planning for climate change and other scenarios to make our buildings Future-Ready and sustainable
- Understanding how Covid-19 has changed the landscape, design priorities and the spend focus of modern builds
- Understanding how technology is shaping the integration of systems within existing building refurbs and what innovations are driving forward thinking towards new building construction?
- Involving the facilities management team early in the design process to better align thinking.
How building operators can create synergies across areas from HVAC and energy efficiency; creating better hygiene in lifts and bathrooms and using sensors and smart carparks; to Wi-Fi and building networks, security and more.

Intelligent buildings and COVID-19 - Next steps
CABA’s President & CEO Ron Zimmer will present the results of their recent Landmark Research Project, on Intelligent Buildings and COVID-19, which is providing actionable information on how building technologies can be leveraged to create safer, healthier and more productive work environments in buildings post COVID-19. Since the advent of the pandemic in 2020, there have been more questions than answers on how the industry should respond to the situation, which in turn has led many companies to promote ill-conceived technology solutions not backed by science. With this research, CABA commissioned Frost & Sullivan to provide evidence-based and actionable information on technology solutions post COVID-19, drawing on authoritative sources and notable examples of technology deployments by leading companies.
12:00 - 12:30

The electrification of buildings
Most buildings built today will still be operating in 2050 when countries like Australia are expected to reach net zero emissions under the Paris Climate Agreement. In Australia, the built environment accounts for almost a quarter of the country’s emissions. Deep cuts in national emissions can be achieved by promoting energy efficiency, moving to a zero-carbon electricity system, switching from direct use of fossil fuels to decarbonised electricity in buildings. In this session we look at the move to provide infrastructure to support the electrification of buildings; identify the opportunity, the challenges and potential of the electrification of building through smart building systems.
- Examining the considerations designers and developers need to make when looking to electrify a modern smart building
- What are the benefits of electrification such as solar power versus generators and how can buildings best store the energy created for when it’s actually needed?
- How can we economise the cost of electric car stations and battery storage?
- Examining the potential negative consequences of electrification such as the impact on the grid

Panellists include:Moderated by:12:10 - 12:30
Developing healthy and trustworthy buildings
The recent pandemic has made us all aware of the importance of occupying healthy and properly ventilated buildings. It has also shaken us in our certainties, particular gestures and habits previously considered harmless are today being questioned (ie. shaking hands to say hello, touching a door handle or a light switch, etc.). As we learn to cope with the “new normal”, how do we install confidence in individuals to return to their offices or places of business? How do we make their buildings or spaces trustworthy again? This presentation will address 3 key pillars or measures that must be considered in order to achieve this:
- Pro-active solutions, which reduce the risk of contagion
- Reactive solutions that ensure optimal risk management if, for various reasons, a contaminated person comes to visit a building
- Information relative to the occupants about the measures put in place and give them full visibility of the current health status of the building they will be occupying temporarily.
Throughout the presentation, you will learn how one can harness the breadth and strength of the Distech Controls Ecosystem in order to both develop and maintain Healthy and Trustworthy buildings.

Networking lunch
13:30 - 14:00
Using data to enhance the value proposition for your building
Real Estate data is fragmented and disconnected. What steps do you need to take to build a blended data framework that will help to both retain and attract tenants as well as improving your asset’s value, all while providing a greater experience for occupiers? In this session we will examine:
- What is your starting point for data transformation and the end goal for user experience and monitoring?
- Examining what you want your data to do ie converting data into your BMS to deliver smart outcomes
- BMS should only be one of a number of data sources that make a building SMART – what are the other sources of data that are not building services – and how do you blend the data to deliver new and future value?
- How can you use data to help find problems, fix them, make improvements and report performance?
- What data can you collect in the context of ethics, security and privacy
