SMART

Future Proofed Fibre Installation

An integrated Smart Places solution supports the design, construction and operation of a single structure, campus facility, business park or urban area

Networked Smart Systems

An immersive 3D environment used to secure investors then becomes a ‘digital twin’ for use in design, construction, building fit-out and operational control

Immersive Real-Time Environments

The ‘digital twin’ sits at the heart of an operational site’s smart, multi-layered facilities management system

EPC & ESG

Stakeholders are increasingly informing their decisions based on ESG (environmental, social and governance) credentials and  Investors are favouring businesses with robust ESG frameworks and clear net zero and sustainability goals.

Commercial property owners will be expected to achieve a minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of at least C, if not B, by 1 April 2030 for their portfolios, as well as being required to comply with more stringent inspections of heating and air conditioning systems. 

Property owners and occupiers can expect the energy efficiency of buildings to become more closely scrutinised in next few months and years and with rising energy costs, there is an additional incentive to act now.

Smart Places can improve your energy efficiency and EPC rating and save you money; making your buildings more attractive for investors, operators and your workforce.


Pathfinder Services

Pathfinder Services ... Smart Places is not a Data Centre builder or operator. During our everyday operations in data networking, IoT and Media, and our up-to-date industry knowledge, we have been able to source key elements that will enable investors, developers and operators to create new Data Centres which are more efficient, greener and meet the ESG goals of their customers, investors and funders.

Smart Places will identify and create detailed plans for sites that can deliver the following:

  • Land with Planning Permission for industrial use
  • Connectivity planning and provision ... Multiple carriers
  • Grid Connectivity & Renewables
  • Re-use of heat
  • Smart Design and Operation
  • Analytics and Reporting simplifying ESG reports ... (Scope 1 2 and 3)
  • Data Centre technologies and services Consultancy

Design

Digital Twin

Explore every aspect of the real-time virtual model of your development long before it exists in physical form, to identify errors, omissions and potential savings.

High-Speed Communications

We pair an onsite private fibre network offering essentially limitless capacity with high-speed connectivity from a combination of providers.

This future-proofs your communications and provides a platform for selling communications services to your tenants and clients.

Smart Systems

We embed smart sensors to gather data that drives efficiencies, improves safety and reduces costs, delivering business intelligence, automation, smart analytics and predictive analysis through data science.

MANAGEMENT

Smart Systems

Sensors monitor systems, building and environmental health and make adjustments to increase efficiency and prolong the life of valuable assets. Early fault diagnosis improves operational efficiency, reduces maintenance costs and delivers a better working environment

Live Dynamic Monitoring

The digital twin lies at the heart of everything and is used to control every aspect of facility management, dramatically reducing associated costs.

Comprehensive Support

We provide first line telephone and online support and onsite support, including spares. A programme of periodic preventative maintenance scheduled in accordance with data provided by system sensors prolongs the life of your development.

DEVELOPMENT

Artificial Intelligence

Accumulated system data fed to a machine learning model produces detailed analytics and learns about a system’s behaviour to make improvements and drive further savings.

From this base, look to expand the use of machine learning further, connecting facilities management to business operations to their mutual benefit.

Systems optimisation savings contribute significantly to hitting ESG targets and achieving carbon neutrality. This can only benefit relations with local authorities and neighbouring developments to your benefit.


IMPROVING THE WORKPLACE

Wellbeing and job satisfaction are more important than ever. Staff and contractors work more effectively in a healthier environment, one that is tuned to their needs. A Smart Places system is comprehensive, accessible, easy to understand and allows users to work together in teams, sharing decisions and responsibility.


Environmental, Social, Governance. ESG

Smart systems make spaces safer, more secure, easier to navigate and reduce a site’s overall carbon footprint; working towards Net Zero. Smart developments attract green subsidies, grants, loans & particularly, environmentally-aware investors. A smart green development, demonstrating a strong social conscience is a good neighbour and a valued member of the local community.
