Overview
The opportunities from a sustainable digital built environment
With the operational environment taking centre stage at COP26 and serving as a core pillar to the international and UN strategy for how our world addresses future sustainability targets, how can digitisation of our built environment help us in meeting this global requirement?
Join us midday on Wednesday when IWFM’s Technology SIG informs and inspires on this key issue.
It’s well published that the built environment contributes around 40% of emissions, with certain cities like New York reaching as high as 70%. It’s also well published that as much as 80% of this quota sits in the operational/management phase.
So, is a modern facilities management proposition the most potent non-core activity to almost any modern C-suite? Our panel will explore this idea and try to digest the outcomes from COP26, as well as look at realistic next steps for anyone wanting to take the journey.
The IWFM Technology SIG’s ecosystem of experts will cover technology giants, governmental digitisation leaders, FM leading practitioners, carbon experts and pioneering estate managers to blend visionary insight with practical hands-on experience across an engaging session.
