SmartViz and IMBuildings have recently announced a groundbreaking partnership that will transform the building industry and create human-centric spaces. The two companies will work together to provide real estate professionals with cutting-edge technology and AI-powered insights to optimize building performance, reduce energy consumption, and improve occupant well-being.
According to a recent study, buildings are responsible for 40% of global CO₂ emissions and waste up to 250% more energy than intended. This partnership aims to address these issues by offering a fully integrated IoT solution that will help real estate professionals make data-driven decisions to improve efficiency and sustainability.
The partnership between SmartViz and IMBuildings has already shown success in previous collaborations. For example, Vodafone saved $40 million annually and Cardiff Metropolitan University saved over £5.1 million by implementing the SmartViz platform with IMBuildings sensors.
Through this new partnership, IMBuildings will offer the SmartViz solution to their customers along with their sensors, providing real-time insights in a dynamic digital twin platform. This will allow clients to make smarter decisions that contribute to environmental sustainability while enhancing the user experience.
Dr. Shrikant Sharma, CEO of SmartViz, stated, “This partnership is a milestone in revolutionizing building management. Having worked closely with IMBuildings for several years, we’ve witnessed their sensors seamlessly integrate into our platform, enabling rapid, people-centered insights. From offices to universities, cultural spaces to transport hubs, our joint efforts ensure environments are not just operationally efficient but also sustainable, healthy, and productive. We’re excited to work even more closely to accelerate these outcomes globally.”
Jan van Gils, Director at IMBuildings, shared this excitement, saying, “We have long admired the SmartViz technology for its unique capabilities and intuitive digital twin interface. We have undertaken a detailed market study of analytics solutions, and it highlighted SmartViz as the market leader. Pairing our sensor technology with their platform equips clients with real-time intelligence, enabling smarter, greener decision-making. Together, we’re helping our customers unlock unparalleled value from their estates.”
