Technology and data are enabling the adoption of IBOS and ESG

29 March 2022

How will stakeholders benefit from RICS’ new International Building Operation Standard (IBOS)? What are the factors across the sector that will drive adoption? What is the role of sensors and other technology in addressing the issues of data acquisition for existing buildings? What role can Digital Twins play? Do we need to focus on the basics as well such as consistent floor plate measurement? What other industry standards are important as we decarbonise buildings?

Rob Jackson speaks with Andrew Knight as they discuss how data and technology will support the adoption of IBOS and ESG for the built environment.
