CNGtv/Video: Ambient Intelligence: A New Value Proposition for Corporate Real Estate
Rapid developments in machine learning, artificial intelligence, conversational interfaces, chatbots and other technologies are transforming the way we interact with buildings, equipment, furniture and spaces. These familiar, inanimate 'things' are becoming active players capable of picking up information directly from the environment, taking actions and reporting the results back to us. The degree to which real estate becomes capable of 'learning' about the needs, preferences and patterns of its users may be an important indicator of its value in the future. Real estate that is more responsive to its occupants may command a premium in the market in years to come. Technological personae like Siri and Alexa are coming into the workplace with the power to transform how we conduct the business of facility management. More ambitious advancements, like the nano-technology known as 'smart dust' promise to literally put electronic eyes and ears into the atmosphere. The new developments have cost, efficiency, safety and privacy implications that organizations will need to address.

In 2013 a single project created a revolution for the role of the workplace in health and wellbeing. The catalyst created an explosion of interest, a gold rush of players and a lot of noise about what really works. This presentation provides a summary of two years of research to get at the heart of the interest, and to identify the clear signal from the noise.

Our research left us stunned regarding the threat of rising chronic disease and its unrelenting rise in cost. We traced a root cause for chronic disease to workplace stress, organizational culture and poor workplace design. Our conclusions proved that a healthy building, behavior nudging healthy behavior through design, a culture of care and a coalition of stakeholders can turn the tide.
