Building Our Future

How can IoT integrations help manage infection control in the built environment?

Tim is CTO of Microshare, creating smart facilities solutions for the built environment. He is in charge of the strategic product vision and his past 12mths have unsurprisingly been focussed on harnessing the power of technology to help buildings be more resilient in the face of the pandemic.

In this podcast:

• How has Covid-19 shaped the direction of smart facilities management?
• How has Covid-19 affected take of of smart building products?
• What lessons can we learn from managing buildings in the past 12mths
• Will consumer data-privacy concerns become more flexible in a post-Covid environment?

Andrew’s recommended reading is Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, a science fiction book which takes a radical view of when real estate might look like in a plausible future.

Tim is excited by the potential of end-user apps, such as Waze, allowing humans to use data to improve their own lives in a manageable well by making better informed decisions in various facets of life.

His favourite building is Building 10 of the Maclaurin Buildings by William Welles Bosworth, 1916 (the Great Dome of MIT), a neo-classical bedrock of classical learning, intertwined with newness and discovery.
