What is a human-centric autonomous building?

Human-centric autonomous buildings deliver the optimal experience with unrivaled comfort, productivity, safety and security.They continuously analyze and optimize their operations to deliver the ideal indoor experience for building occupants, and efficient, cost-effective outcomes for owners and operators. For operators, autonomous buildings enable a reduced staff to focus on high impact and strategic decisions.An autonomous building processes vast amounts of data from multiple sources to learn, predict and adapt both at building-wide and individual user level, all without continuous human involvement.

Humans at the center

Human-centric autonomous buildings are all about people - building operators, occupants, investors and building owners. Autonomy does not eliminate the human role. Instead, it delivers the best possible experience to enhance the effectiveness of all stakeholders.

Operators

Building operators can focus on taking action: AI highlights the critical issues and infers their root causes, freeing up the facilities team to focus on validating insights, tailoring solutions and pursuing long-term strategy.

Occupants

Occupants obtain time to prioritize their wellbeing: Occupants do not need to worry about the specifics - they have an optimized environment that allows them to focus on what is important.

Investors and owners

Investors and owners gain long-term value and do not face new complexity - they gain significant cost and energy efficiencies, long-term value and improved tenant retention.

The benefits of building autonomy

Performance

Maximizing operational efficiency.

Sustainability

Delivering energy savings.

Experience

Creating safe environments and promoting well-being.

Flexibility

Offering flexibility for spaces and operations.

The path to human-centric autonomous buildings

Autonomous buildings are advanced in their level of data integration, automation and depth of predictive personalisation. We are here to support every part of your digital transformation strategy with dedicated expertise.
