    The proliferation of smart buildings, driven by advancements in IoT, AI, and big data analytics, promises numerous benefits for a business. Despite significant investment in these technologies, many organisations have struggled to leverage the data generated, failing to transition from data acquisition to actionable insights. This challenge underscores the need for enterprise agility—a concept encompassing technological flexibility and the cultural and structural readiness to embrace change.

New Building SaaS 2.0 is the antidote to traditional data silos and the AI-enabled technology aims at facilitating co-creation with partners to address these digital transformation challenges.

    The aim of this session is to describe how CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) reporting can be made much simpler for this and future years. At the start of the data and sustainability journey, we all know that time is short and resources are tight, so it is important to select the most suitable areas to automate with technology. The best place to start with technology and sustainability reporting is to think of the whole thing as a data flow problem.
