Скачать или смотреть Alan Jackson | Smart Buildings & Indoor Optimisation Tech | Net Zero Scotland Projects Conference

In this dynamic talk, Alan Jackson, Director at Helvar, explores how intelligent sensing and data-driven design can transform the energy performance and health of indoor environments. Speaking at the 2025 Net Zero Scotland Projects Conference, Jackson shares insights from global travel and decades of experience, urging designers to future-proof buildings for both sustainability and people. 🏢💡

💡 Key Topics Covered:
• Helvar’s tech enables energy savings in both new builds and refurbishments
• Buildings often consume 2–5x more energy than design stage predictions
• The energy performance gap can be reduced using intelligent sensing and real-time monitoring
• Occupancy-based optimisation: adjust environments whether 1 or 500 people are inside
• Importance of collecting data → processing it → creating business intelligence

🔧 Technological Foundations:
• Avoid “fashionable tech” that doesn’t last — build for upgradeability
• Use of sensors for indoor environmental quality (IEQ), not just energy
• Future-proofing involves both data collection and human-centric design
• Buildings should inspire productivity — not just minimise energy use
• Post-COVID workers demand healthy, creative indoor spaces

📌 Core Insight:
To build sustainably, start with people, then wrap technology and design around them. Use data, don’t just store it. The future of buildings is smart, adaptive, and people-centric.
