Smart office Smart Office

What offers Smart Office to consumers?

The majority of a real estate were created without modern researches about influence of designs, a microclimate or, for example, lighting on labor productivity. Today there was an opportunity to collect data on behavior of people, use of the engineering systems, the equipment and the needs for these or those services and, thus, to organize work at office. And the concept of work was considerably transformed and "digitized" owing to information technology development. All this became the driver of changes of office spaces, approaches to services, ideologies of employment and assessment of labor productivity^[1].

There are several trends connected with increase in efficiency of office spaces.

First of all, the energy saving including adaptation to needs of users, the analyst of use of the building, providing only services, necessary for the consumer.
Secondly, the maximum optimization of space and the equipment including flexible planning solutions and architecture, configuring of IT infrastructure under requests of users, fast adaptation of services.
Thirdly, effect of "know-how" for tenants. It is expressed available enough the areas which are technology adapted to work that considerably influences the solution of the tenant for benefit of "smart" office.
One more of trends — providing the additional safety ensured thanks to the organization of access control on an object, video surveillances or other systems, for example, of face recognition, numbers of cars.
Besides, it is worth selecting co-workings and other flexible office spaces which offer the tenant space with a minimum of conveniences, but with the maximum saturation all technologies, necessary for business.

These approaches also represent failure the concept "smart" as assume complete adaptivity and convenience of work at all stages of interaction of the environment and the person.

The key to increase in efficiency of office spaces is hided in integration of new services into office processes and convenience to users of spaces, permanent improvement and improvement of products.

What already is in the market and actively is implemented into work of office spaces?

The intellectual parking allowing to specify the empty parking space, existence of places for disabled people or with chargers for electric cars.
Convenient navigation on the building.
Search of the colleague — relevant service for the large companies organizing offices on technology of open space (Open Space Technology).
The order of any services (cafeteria, lunches, delivery from restaurants, etc.).
Fast appeal to Facility-services (technical support, cleaning, IT support, protection).
Management of climate, lighting, sound design in the selected zone.
Transparent interfaces for connection to infrastructure (the presentation equipment, printers, scanners, systems for online conferences).
Use of vending machines (with the subsequent payment by the uniform account).
Internal system for the expense accounting.
Flexible and informative restoration systems of premises for meetings and negotiations.
Places for conducting brain storms, team work, the place for a privacy, a zone for convenient communication by phone.
Adaptive furniture (including with a possibility of setup of height of tables, costing works).

Many players in the market aim to answer these trends, but at the same time continue to look for new methods of a didzhitalization. For example, HermanMiller creates the furniture which is not just regulated on height, but also offers an opportunity to make the profile which is stored in a cloud. It is possible to approach any table / chair and in a minute to configure "under itself". And at this time Google, Samsung, Cisco and Microsoft with the products Google Jamboard, Samsung Flip, Webex Board (before Cisco Spark Board), Microsoft Surface Hub compete in skill of replacement of normal flipchart by interactive smartboards with an opportunity not only information displays, but also holdings of conferences, the presentations, simultaneous online work in groups worldwide.

Development and deployment of innovations are directly connected with study of architecture, engineering solutions and the subsequent operation. Level of design requirements and operation considerably increases that pushes these directions to development. The BIM methodology allowing on all lifecycle from the concept before operation and reconstruction develops to trace and fix changes in uniform model which hundreds of users address. Monitoring design, construction, operation — all this is integrated by a uniform data model which owner is the owner. Management companies develop proprietary mobile applications and services which are integrated with customers for the fastest reaction to requests of users, update internal business processes. Thus, the Smart Office environment forms.
