Smarter Building. Better Experiences.
Author: Bruce Duyshart

Smarter Buildings. Better Experiences is the first pragmatic guide written to help property developers and design professionals strategise, innovate and connect with technology in property.

Written in a non-technical style, this book outlines the ‘Intelligent Property Design’ approach to making buildings smarter, more efficient, sustainable and safer. The result? Better user experiences.

This book cuts through the complex jargon often associated with technology by guiding the reader in 3 parts through:

1.
A vision for technology in property.
2.
New technology concepts in property design.
3.
The Intelligent Property Design Framework.
