The Digital Buildings Council (DBC) was delighted to facilitate a pivotal panel discussion at Digital Construction Week on 4 June, marking the official soft launch of the RIBA Smart Buildings Overlay 2.0 review. This significant initiative aims to enhance the foundational framework for intelligent built environments.
The session was expertly moderated by our Executive Officer, Justin Kirby. We extend our sincere gratitude to the distinguished panellists for sharing their invaluable insights:
- James Franklin, Digital Twin Project Director at Kier Construction
- John Adams, Head of Product at Glider Technology
- Aleksandra Dasala, Smart Buildings Consultant at Nu Xform
- Daniel Watson, UK Director at Hereworks
This comprehensive review process is crucial for the ongoing evolution of smart building principles. It is imperative that all stakeholders, from project inception through to long-term operations, contribute their expertise to ensure Version 2.0 is robust, dynamic, and truly reflective of industry needs.
Your contribution is vital to shape the future of smart buildings. We invite all interested professionals to get involved by registering their interest here.
