Change RegionTechnology Innovation in Real Estate rewarded
Johnson Controls has won the Innovation in Real Estate Award at the CoreNet Global UK Corporate Real Estate Awards for its successful VISIBLE Living Lab technology. This revolutionary tool measures and records how space is occupied in real time; how users interact within it; and how space can be best designed to meet the aims and objectives of the occupier.
Graham Brown, Director of Group Real Estate at Orange and Chair of the Judging Panel, said: "Every year the calibre of the nominations seems to improve, giving the judging panel a real challenge of selecting a short list and eventual winner.”
The VISIBLE technology captures employee movements within the workplace using radio frequency ID smart tags and delivers a graphical assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of the layout and utilisation of today’s workspaces. Ultimately, the technology helps identify space utilisation improvements that increase productivity and the total cost of ownership.
Rick Bertasi, Vice President and General Manager of Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions EMEA, said, “Investment in innovations like this increase Johnson Controls ability to meet our customers’ needs. The VISIBLE Living Lab can save corporate clients up to 30% of their occupancy costs. It will do for occupancy what LEAN programmes have done for manufacturing and inventory management.”
