Hosted by Bueno Systems

Deep dive into the importance of building analytics and optimisation software in maintaining and enhancing building performance post-COVID, particularly with NABERS ratings and overall Portfolio Value.

As workplaces fill up again and we face rising temperatures, energy use is expected to climb significantly. This will put downward pressure on building valuations. The challenge now lies in maintaining or improving building ratings and performance metrics, such as NABERS, to sustain or enhance property values.

This session will aim to explain what “true” building optimisation is and provide an understand on clear strategies needed by the industry for improving building performance in an era of rising occupancy and energy use.
