Wednesday 4 February, 08:30-12:30 / CC5.1
Unlocking Smart Building Value
The Summit will explore how smart building technologies – such as building automation, IoT, analytics, and energy optimisation – unlock value for all stakeholders. The event will address AI, Big Data, cybersecurity, sustainability, and smart workplaces, highlighting the benefits for owners, tenants, and landlords in driving efficiency, comfort, and property value.
For 2026, the Summit is adopting a breakfast briefing format to enable delegates to maximise their time afterwards on the show floor.

UNLOCKING SMART BUILDING VALUE
Smart building technologies redefine how buildings, workplaces and facilities are managed and maintained. With clear technological advancements, it’s now time to show all stakeholders how to unlock the value of smart buildings.
The new building automation systems digitally integrate HVAC, lighting, and security controls to optimise performance and reduce waste. Advanced analytics platforms can process collected data to provide actionable insights for predictive maintenance and operational efficiency. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors enable real-time monitoring of energy consumption, occupancy, and environmental conditions.
Additionally, wireless connectivity and cloud-based management allow seamless remote access and control, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness.
Owners can unlock value by investing in integrated building management systems that optimise energy use and reduce operational costs. They can also leverage data analytics to predict maintenance needs, extending equipment lifespan and minimising downtime. Implementing advanced security features enhances tenant safety and property appeal.
Tenants benefit from smart buildings through enhanced comfort, such as personalised climate control and lighting. Access to real-time information on building services and amenities improves convenience and productivity. Smart buildings can also support wellness initiatives by monitoring air quality and promoting healthier environments.
Landlords can increase property value and attract higher-quality tenants by marketing smart building features. They can use smart technologies to streamline lease management and billing processes. Additionally, demonstrating sustainability through smart energy management can meet regulatory requirements and appeal to environmentally conscious tenants.
This year’s Smart Building Summit will cover the impact of AI, Big Data and cybersecurity, sustainability, and smarter workplaces.
Join us in our 11th edition of Smart Building Summit as we explore
- the technology that creates the value
- the integration that enables the value, and
- the keys to unlock the value for all the stakeholders
