Sensor enabled smart buildings that know when they need cleaning, heating or cooling. Buildings that harness rainwater, use less and recycle more. Resiliency buildings that withstand disaster. Sustainable buildings made completely from environmentally friendly materials.
The features of Buildings 2.0 are incredible and promising, potentially improving the environment, the longevity of the building, and the lifestyle of the end user. The problem is, they aren’t necessarily easy — or inexpensive — to implement.
Some burning questions remain for businesses:
What are the important emerging technologies disrupting everything? How important is it to put these features into buildings? How do we pay for it? Who are the major players dominating the market? How do you compete? How do we get our codes and standards in line with these new features? … are just a few of the questions you might have.
Join us as we spend a full day exploring the opportunities of future buildings, and what needs to be done to bring our goals closer to reality.

Opening Remarks
Matt Abeles, Co-Founder, BuiltWorlds
Keynote: Trends in High Performance Buildings
Scott Seyer, Principal, Goettsch Partners, Inc.
A modern high-performance building is very different from the buildings of ten years ago. Over the past decade, Goettsch Partners has single-handedly transformed Chicago’s skyline with innovative new high rises that focus on competent, functional, and budget-conscience designs. Principal and Senior Project Designer Scott Seyer will talk about the trends and technologies that are in-demand and defining the state-of-the-art buildings being constructed today.
Tech in Office Buildings
Moderator: Kurt Karnatz, President, Environmental Systems Design // Chase Garbarino, CEO & Co-Founder, HqO // Dwight Stewart, Founder & CTO, Igor // Neil Lakomiak, Director of Business Development & Innovation, UL
The technology revolution has come for the cubicle farm. Now, there are management apps to turn your phone into a remote control for your office, smart lighting apps to make sure the lights are actually turned off at night and so many others. During this panel, we’ll chat with the startups creating the softwares and technologies that help office buildings operate on the cutting-edge.
Tech in Residential Buildings
Moderator: Damon Ranieri, Senior BIM Integration Manager, Lendlease // Benjamin Pleat, CEO & Co-Founder, Doorbell.me // Blake Miller, CEO, Homebase.ai // Anthony Knierim, CEO, OurHood // Alex Samoylovich, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Cedar Street Ventures
While many large-scale buildings have become increasingly intelligent and sophisticated, smaller scale domestic dwellings often lack the benefits of these advancements. Though a wide range of incentive programs and technology advancements continue to enter the market, many existing homes have yet to be modernized. At the same time, new homes are being constructed under archaic standards that limit innovative developments, sustainability, and profitability. During this discussion, we will look at some of the most cutting-edge technology and initiatives, and explore how their advanced standards can be applied more broadly.

Research Briefing
Matt Gagne, Research Manager, BuiltWorlds
The BuiltWorlds Research team will set the stage about how today’s smart buildings are being managed and dive into their newest BuiltWorlds Insights releases including the Building Tech 50 Top List and the Research Report titled, Unlock Energy Efficiency in Your Building.
Panel: Building Operations and Maintenance
MODERATOR: Phil Stafford, COO, Colliers International // Gabriel Halimi, CEO & Co-Founder, Flo Technologies // Connell McGill, CEO, Enertiv // Rajavel Subramanian, Co-Founder, Facilio
Beyond energy efficiency, the promise of smart buildings is simple - through one software platform, owners and developers can take control of their building. Predictive maintenance, streamlined operations, optimized utility management, it’s all just a few clicks away. We sit down with leading technology providers to explore how these platforms are being used and what benefits they bring to building owners.
Panel: Energy Management
MODERATOR: Susan Heinking, Vice President of High Performance & Sustainable Construction, Pepper Construction // Derek McGarry, Head Building Performance Engineer, Abundant Power // Deepinder Singh, CEO, 75F // Benjamin Skeleton, CEO, Cyclone Energy // Drew Morrison, Energy Engineer, Seventhwave
There are a number of factors that influence energy performance and can reduce a building’s operating expenses. This conversation will explore ways to analyze the use of energy, increase efficiency, and improve a building’s operational and maintenance capacity. In doing so, we will look at some of the most sustainable buildings being built today, potential barriers, and the methods that support efficient operation standards.
Keynote: Global Breakthroughs
Alex Suma, CEO and Co-Founder, IBIS
A zero-energy high rise building powered by wind and solar units mounted on the roof of the building. This is the future that IBIS Power is bringing to life with their PowerNEST technology. IBIS Founder Alex Suma will explore how innovative energy solutions can be highly efficient, economic, and architecturally beautiful.
Lunch
Keynote: Supertall Buildings
Joe Dardis, Structural Steel Specialist, American Institute of Steel Construction
Supertall buildings have garnered a great deal of attention over the last two decades but building these structures presents unique challenges. The American Institute of Steel Construction has supported the development of a revolutionary system of composite steel plate shear walls called SpeedCore. Joe Dardis of the American Institute of Steel Construction will discuss how SpeedCore can be deployed to construct buildings more safely, more efficiently and of course, more quickly.
Fireside Chat: Machine Learning and The Future of Design
Moderator: Isabel Singer, Research Analyst, BuiltWorlds // Adam Hengels, Co-Founder, PARAFIN
Generative design, an approach based in machine learning, is the contemporary frontier of building design and pushing this frontier even further is the tech start-up PARAFIN. Using cloud computing and a proprietary generative design technique, PARAFIN generates millions of building configurations each tied to a budget and financial model to solve for optimal value creation and viability. BuiltWorlds Research Analyst Isabel Singer sits down with PARAFIN Co-Founder Adam Hengels to discuss the promise of generative design and how real estate developers can use the technology to maximize the value creation on a piece of land.
BuiltWorlds Research Workshop
