Buildings leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) and other PropTech are becoming essential elements to the complex network of smart cities. Ranging from sensors collecting data to developers building thousands of smart city apps, the $3.6bn global smart buildings for smart cities market is helping cities move forward to become truly smart. This talk will put a focus on the trends we are seeing from the top 5 tech influencers in the built environment; Smart buildings, AI, IoT, Blockchain & the co-working movement, that will ultimately enable us to move from smart buildings, to precincts, to city:
- Making it real: case studies local and global
- Time is money: key financials, RoI and outcomes
- Predictions: investment in PropTech & smart cities
- Next Steps: action & engagement with industry
9:30 am - 10:00 am CASE STUDY:Creating a Building with End Users in Mind, to Deliver an Asset of Outstanding Functionality
Drawing on a current development in Investa's portfolio, the project is a leading example of how putting the end user at the heart of decisions in the design phase can allow for property development companies to achieve the best outcomes for a building’s functionality, value and reputation. In this talk we will look at the story behind the design and development of this fully collaborated project:
- Partnering with and fully understanding our clients to provide a building that is fit for purpose
- Implementing the appropriate technology to meet operational & occupier requirements
- Overcoming the challenges posed by executing a design that is partly envisaged by our clients
10:00 am - 10:30 am Intuitive Movement, Powered by Data
Data is one of the key building blocks to any smart building. Data tells us how people enter and exit a building, how they travel within it and how they want to interact with it. When it comes to planning and designing an excellent tenant experience and a smooth and smart journey through your building, this data is key in helping you make informed decisions. In this session, we’ll take a look at how technology, design and strategy can come together to ensure a seamless experience for your tenants and an efficient flow of people throughout your building.

11:30 am - 12:00 pm Exploring Technologies that Drive Sustainability, Efficiency & Customer Experience in Existing Buildings
Charter Hall has been on a journey of development with its existing assets, incorporating and trialling new intelligent technologies with the aim of improving building performance and enhancing customer experience. This has been done through the introduction cloud-based tech and customer platforms across several of its buildings such as, the unique innovative COMFY system, customer experience APP Charli and the installation of personalised streaming music services to common areas for customers. To date, COMFY has yielded to date; 7% energy use reduction, 5000+ tenant-app interactions, 72% reduction in air-conditioning service calls & identified 30 analytic improvements to performance and comfort. This talk will look at the successes to date and how this can be translated across the portfolio:
- Highlighting the significance of these results, and what they mean for our customers
- Squeezing efficiency & performance from high-performing buildings using technology
- Using these results to learn and transform our existing assets
12:00 pm - 12:30 pm Virtual Reality as a Means to Develop, Understand and Inspire at Every Stage of a Property’s Development
Intelligent buildings shouldn’t wait until a project is finished to start analysing how the space is used. VR gives us a unique opportunity to user test spaces during the design process and ensure we build what people actually need. But why stop there? VR simulations of real buildings can be transformative for marketing and sales, user training, education, building analysis and real time monitoring:
- VR for human centred architecture.
- VR beyond the design process.
- VR digital twins
12:30 pm - 1:00 pm Transforming Legacy Equipment and Assets to Operate in the New Digital IoT World
Digital transformation is a key part of evolution in the property market, as technologies and solutions become increasingly digitized and connected in the growing IoT space. But the challenge that we face is taking these solutions and new innovative concepts in the marketplace back to a grass roots and mechanical level for when knocking down a structure and starting again isn’t an option:
- Deciding which solutions are relevant to our existing assets and needs
- Effectively communicating with our partners to develop effective solutions and packages to suit legacy assets
- Paving a way for mechanical devices to be better connected into the digital asset infrastructure

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm NETWORKING AND LUNCH
2:00 pm - 2:30 pm Only Intelligent Designs Produce Smart Buildings
Logistics hubs, distribution centres and warehouses are being automated at an accelerating rate resulting in wide-ranging implications for the building itself and the design process around it. This session will look at the changing requirements for industrial properties, as well as how digital design tools like virtual tours, simulators, and emulators mean little to achieve an integrated design without the right team, specifically:
- Looking at how the ‘online’ world is changing the way businesses run their supply chains, and the impact on properties & what goes inside them
- Highlighting the need for the building & warehouse automation to be fully integrated, rather than just interconnected
- Explaining why digital design tools are becoming invaluable in smart designs, but can never be replaced by a focused & committed team
2:30 pm - 3:00 pm Developing the Next-Gen Living Centre Strategy and Plan
- What is it? A Next Gen living centre is a safe, comfortable and operationally efficient centre which is digitally connected and adaptable meeting customers, retailers and employee needs.
- What is the plan?
- Industry challenges around Smart Centre adoption
3:00 pm - 3:30 pm Leveraging IoT Technology to Protect the Quality, Operational Efficiency and Reputation of Montague’s Products
The providence and security of picking, packing and shipping of fresh fruit to consumer markets is an increasingly important factor within the agriculture industry. Being able to record the history of the fruit is extremely important for 3 main reasons: it is a key consideration for consumers to ensure the purchasing of a quality product, capturing fruit volumes & quality allows BI tools to identify what are the optimal conditions & approaches for each product, should food tampering occur, we can identify exactly where & when it occurred to minimise impact on all stakeholders (actual and reputational). With these things in mind this presentation will focus on how Montague is:
- Continuing to invest in the implementation of IoT technologies across its entire supply chain.
- Building smart infrastructure across the organisation to provide real-time visibility of products at all stages
- Developing further streams of data to aid the updating & building of new facilities
3:30 pm - 4:00 pm AFTERNOON TEA & NETWORKING BREAK
4:00 pm - 4:30 pm CASE STUDY: Creating a Future Innovation Hub Across Our Portfolio - Mirvac’s EY Centre at 200 George Street
Mirvac’s EY Centre at 200 George Street was created in close collaboration with anchor tenant, EY, and a strong focus on innovative and sustainable design. This allowed them to deliver a building that was tailored to the needs of its occupants and facilitates flexible working. It also demonstrated that forward-thinking office environments can improve both building performance as well as the performance of its occupants. This case study will highlight the synergies from client partnership and collaborative forward-looking design, and covers:
- Recognising the needs and values of our client and partners
- Creating a space for smart innovation of the future
