Closing the Performance Gap: Why smart buildings need Asset Intelligence across the full lifecycle

• 15 October 2026 @ 2:10pm
• Smart Buildings Show, London ExCeL
• Management & Proptech Theatre

In this session, Nick will challenge one of the biggest assumptions in smart buildings: that better technology alone delivers better outcomes. Drawing on real-world experience across design, delivery and operations, he will explore why organisations still struggle to understand, trust and use asset information long after handover, creating a persistent Performance Gap between design intent and operational reality. He will explain how Asset Intelligence is the discipline that enables building owners and operators to find, trust and act on the information they need across the full asset lifecycle, and outlines practical Create and Recover pathways for improving information confidence in both new projects and existing estates. This is essential for anyone responsible for delivering, managing or optimising smart buildings, this session will show why improving building performance is not just a technology challenge, but an information and lifecycle management challenge.
