Data and technology are transforming the built environment. As smart building solutions continue to evolve, they allow property developers and owners to reduce costs, improve energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort.

Recent advancements have meant greater integration and interoperability between key systems, resulting in highly sophisticated building control strategies.

IBTech@ARBS leads the discussion on the future of connected buildings, enabled by intelligent and sustainable design.

Attendees can interact with SMART Building technology developers in the dedicated exhibition area and benefit from live demonstrations and presentations of industry specific Intelligent building products and solutions in the IBTech Presentation Theatre.

IBTech will open on day one of the seminar program with a session on tech-driven ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) in action.

It will cover building owner strategies, technology-infused ESG development and practical insights for buildings and data centres.

This is a dynamic panel session that looks at the intersection of technology and ESG strategies.

Panellists will share their practical insights into developing & executing ESG strategies for both buildings and data centres.

Participants will learn first-hand about successful execution strategies, including obtaining financing and navigating the practical aspects of integrating technology into an ESG framework.
