Buildings are getting smarter: are they also getting healthier?

When buildings get smarter, cities get smarter. Smart building design renders buildings more intelligent and more sustainable. But what about the well-being of a building’s occupants? Does a smarter building automatically deliver a higher level of well-being?

Employee well-being is a key factor in promoting job performance, personal health, productivity and creative thinking while alleviating absenteeism and presenteeism.

How to ensure a building contributes to well-being is a challenge for architects, designers, real estate developers and building owners – and for smart city leaders striving to improve the quality of urban life and health.
