SBC Rewards Spacewell Solution Accreditation Against the Smart Building Certification Framework

“We can all learn a lot from Spacewell,” said Nicholas White, Co-Founder Smart Building Certification. They have solutions that span the entire certification and can truly deliver holistic smart buildings, from asset management, facility management, maintenance, smart workplaces, energy efficiency, and now office re-entry. Whatever the subject around smart buildings, Spacewell has an intelligent opinion.”

Smart Building Certification: solution accreditation process

Rather than a checklist, SBC smart building solution accreditation is a dynamic process to score the existence and use of technology to measure:

• Building Usage

  How people use the building informs the decisions of what space, amenities, system automation, and adjustments are required to better serve the needs of the users. If the needs of the user can be more effectively met, improvement to performance and cost base can be more easily realized.

• Building Performance

  Visibility into a building’s performance from a system perspective but also amenities, and machine management, allows optimization of operations and elimination of unnecessary costs or waste. This theme looks towards optimization of investment, improved efficiencies, consumption, and a minimization of environmental impact.

• Building Environment

  The physical environment of the building has never been more important than it is now. Healthy environments and more importantly data proving that environments are healthy will increasingly be required by users, building owners, and even governments.

• Health, Safety, and Security

  Technology is the only way we know if buildings are compliant with health and safety standards and truly capable of keeping users safe. Safety is a basic human requirement that all other aspects are built upon.

• User Behavior and Collaboration

  Smart Buildings are intrinsically connected to their function and the people inside of them. This theme explores how the building empowers user behavior and collaboration, supporting the maximization of value and purpose of the space.

• Integrative Design and Connectivity

  How well are the solutions integrated with one another and the building? The least number of solutions for the maximum amount of benefit. Elimination of department silos and seamless system integration. Smart building and business continuity is dependent on internet connectivity levels within the building. This section explores integrative design and connectivity in detail.

Sven Toelen, VP Marketing & Communication at Spacewell, commented “We are very pleased to receive SBC solution accreditation as we continue to work together for a smarter, healthier, and more productive future. We see Smart Building Certification as a powerful driver for change in commercial real estate and a great initiative in bringing lots of parties together around one smart building definition. We are excited to be a part of the ecosystem to support the industry and our customers to get more out of their investments.”
