This October 2021 report by Cisco discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need to create “smart and intuitive” buildings. By providing a sense of health and well- being for users, these buildings also maximize space utilization around social distancing and other mandates. Architects, developers, and building operators have opportunities to leverage technology to add value to planned or existing structures. Through design with technology, they can build “trusted workplaces” featuring improved health and safety, more intuitive spaces, and reduced costs and resource usage, all while increasing sustainability.
