The Building That Acts: Moving Beyond Dashboards to Adaptive Control
This session explores a common challenge in building automation: lighting control, climate control, sensors, BMS and FM systems are often designed and delivered as separate layers. Wireless/battery based sensing or siloed solution approaches, can provide a practical route to monitoring occupancy and environmental conditions, but sensing alone does not automatically create smarter control.
Delegates will learn how to think about sensing, controls and automation as one connected strategy: reducing duplication, simplifying installation and commissioning, helping buildings move from static schedules and manual intervention towards more adaptive control.
Smart buildings are often presented through dashboards and data, but the real value comes when that data improves how the building operates.
Session Speaker
Navjeet Birdi is a smart buildings and PropTech professional with over 18 years’ experience across real estate, workplace technology and building performance.
He is particularly interested in why smart building strategies succeed or fail once buildings are in use, and how technology can be applied in a way that is practical, scalable and commercially relevant.
In his role at bGrid, Navjeet supports UK and Western Europe growth across sales and marketing. He works with key stakeholders connecting building data and control strategies to real world outcomes such as comfort, energy performance, operational efficiency and asset value.
