Digitalisation of our industry. Horizon of possibilities.
Digitalisation. A revolution in design and construction... and operation.
Crossover technologies. CAD and Maps, BIM and GIS.
Static to Dynamic. Operational BIM. W T S OP E R A T I ON A L BI M BIM - historically a design & construction based tool. Why the limitation? Operational BIM is a compilation of data aggregated from legacy BMS data and new data, including from an array of IoT devices.
The Digital Twin. Evidence on Demand. BIM is moving on. 3D visualisation and metadata networks allow a building to exist in physical and digital realms simultaneously. The Digital Twin is fast becoming reality.
Optimum buildings. It s all about creating value for life.
Technology is the answer. But what is the question? C E D R I C P R I C E
Intelligent Building. What s the Design Focus? Technology driven buildings User centred buildings, supported by technology User journey
Design Focus. Users / User Groups User Journeys User Experience Informs Influencing MEP design selection, and placement + New technology systems and requirements

Successful optimisation. Four key ingredients. 1. A clearly-defined target outcome. 2. Access to evidence relating to the target outcome. 3. A feedback loop by which the measurable outcome (observation based evidence) can be judged against the target outcome. 4. The ability to influence the system (take actions) to minimise the difference between the measurable outcome and the target outcome.
Evidence based optimisation.
Living Laboratory. Hoare Lea London Office (Western Transit Shed). Definition
What is a Living Lab? A user-centred, open-innovation ecosystem, operating in a territorial context (e.g. a building), integrating concurrent research and innovation processes in partnership with people.
Big Data. Design Information
Creating a Digital Twin. Physical Realm BMS data user data sensor data Digital Realm operational BIM evidence based control evidence based optimisation data analytics data visualisation metadata modelling
VISION Create a platform for collaboration, research and innovation to shape new ways of working and support the development of new products for our industry. GOAL To use our Hoare Lea offices as a living laboratory to explore, demonstrate & integrate emerging technologies & techniques, and learn how these will help us in designing future-proof and human-centric buildings 1. Demonstrate & test building technologies 2. Identify, collect & integrate building and occupant data 3. Validate modelling tools 4. Experiment to improve building performance (e.g well-being and energy)

Some Early Lessons learned. Failure must be part of the project and needs to be embraced as such Evidence from failure is as valuable as evidence from success Evidence is essential at binary decision junctions Always question the status quo: is change necessary or even desirable Be wary of received wisdom - fighting the status quo can be tricky. and nothing slows work down like waiting for everyone to agree Indecision - how much do you really need to know before making a decision? Purposeful technology led disruption needs to be embraced and not fought
