Buildings are producing more data than ever - monitoring energy usage, indoor air quality, occupancy patterns, and system performance in real time. But without interoperability and a shared language between systems, this wealth of data remains trapped in silos, limiting its potential to drive sustainability, efficiency, and better outcomes for people and cities.
Join the Smart Cities Council for a webinar where experts from across sectors explore how cities and building owners can unlock the value of smart building data through standards, interoperability, and forward-thinking design.
In the session, we will address the urgent need for open, interoperable data standards in smart buildings. While some open already exist, they are not widely adopted, and many cities and organisations are left to create their own systems due to a lack of enforceable, consistent standards. This results in fragmented data, inefficiencies, and vendor lock-in, especially from major proprietary system providers.
The conversation will explore focus on defining core datasets across systems like HVAC, lifts, and lighting, and promoting consistency in how data is captured, structured, and shared.
On the Agenda:
- The latest on data standards, privacy frameworks, and open specifications for smart building systems
- A roadmap for building and retrofitting spaces that are data-ready, sustainable, and citizen-focused
- What it will take to make smart buildings truly interoperable, secure and impactful.
Whether you're in city planning, facilities management, sustainability, or digital infrastructure, we invite you to join this session as we work to develop knowledge, resources and industry collaboration that breaks down barriers and helps us build smarter.
