The shift to remote and hybrid work initially aided in reducing office carbon footprints, but with employees returning to offices, sustainability efforts face challenges. To counteract this, stakeholders are turning to smart, healthy, and sustainable building solutions.

Technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and digital twins are pivotal in tracking energy usage, enhancing indoor air quality, optimizing space utilisation, and ensuring safety.

However, upfront costs and data management hurdles hinder widespread adoption. Despite these challenges, investing in smart building technology is increasingly seen as essential for achieving net-zero emissions and productivity in the face of climate change and regulatory pressures.
