How Digital Transformation in The Multi-Family Sector can Facilitate a Green Transition

In March, we visited Rebuild Expo 2023 in the Spanish capital of Madrid. The sixth annual edition of the event brought together over 22,000 visitors for a discussion on the future of construction.

Madrid’s IFEMA Conference Centre played host to Rebuild 2023 between March 28 and 30. The event’s sixth edition exceeded all expectations, welcoming a total of 22,854 attendees, including architects and engineers, residential developers and operators, who came together to share their thoughts on the future of the construction industry.

The emergence of smart buildings, which have been designed to integrate the latest technologies such as smart access and cloud-based property management solutions, has opened the door to new ways of operating multi-family assets. All signs now point to the smart access revolution making its arrival on the multi-family residential stage.

Technology and automation must bring added value to property operations

Redefining properties as connected spaces equipped with dynamic technological services has seen new opportunities arise for property management companies in the multi-family sector. With buildings increasingly seen as innovative environments, we are now more often able to harness smart solutions to deliver an improved experience for both residents and property owners.

The SALTO Homelok smart access platform provides a safe and convenient environment for all kinds of users, as well as virtually recording all the latest resident access information for every door on the property.

• Improved building security thanks to extensive visibility and monitoring.
• Central key allocation management.
• Streamlined digital experience for residents.
• Seamless keyless solutions across every access point.
• Increased efficiency and reduced property management costs.
• Integrated smart living ecosystem.
• Cybersecurity and IoT convergence to reach its potential as a fully multi-family all-in-one smart access interconnected ecosystem.
• Quick and easy wireless installation with minimal disruption.

Sustainability and digital transformation in multi-family real estate

The current trend in real estate is undoubtedly evolving towards a more sustainable model based on technology and digitisation. An increasing number of new tools are enhancing the residential experience, optimising operations and saving costs, not to mention aiding sustainability. Following the latest eco-design criteria, our Environmental Product Declaration - EPD looks to incorporate renewable materials and ensure products last as long as possible in an attempt to achieve building decarbonisation. Indeed, one of the most engaging forums at the event addressed how properties are embracing digital transformation, promoting decarbonisation and looking towards circular economies.

The building and construction industries combined are currently responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions around the world, with operational emissions such as climate control and lighting accounting for some 28%. Rebuild 2023 underlined the increasing demand from architects, developers, property managers and operators, who are all now looking to harness new technology and materials to minimise emissions. The event boasts huge potential in the fact it brings together all the agents throughout the building process value chain. This setting of transformational exploration is the perfect chance for networking among a wide variety of attendees.
