    In a world where employees may not desire returning to traditional workplaces, value propositions that resonate with today's workplace leaders have changed. Kevin will share drivers, challenges, and lessons learned during the implementation of a portfolio-scale environmental sensor deployment showcasing the internal environment as an amenity for the employee experience. He will discuss the new value of the workplace and impact of the environment in shaping the employee experience and describe how companies are investing in the physical workplace.

    Firsthand experience will be shared using a sensor deployment case study project that all presenters worked on. Strategic questions such as "What should we measure to improve the workplace experience now and beyond?" and "What to watch for when implementing technology at scale?" will be answered. Shona will share stories from the trenches on the realities of bringing such a plan to fruition and explore gaps in industry that must be solved to streamline such projects.

    Steps to effectively leverage portfolio-wide datasets will be shared. Through concrete project examples, Liam will showcase how over a billion data points were used to pinpoint specific optimizations in real estate design and day-to-day operations. Strategies for optimization include mitigation of the impact of wildfires and climate change, optimization of material design and circularity decisions, and sharing of simple, easy-to-implement changes that have improved the performance of specific space types.

    Finally, this session will speak to the future of workplace design, and the role of research data in this evolution. Participants will learn how insights from air quality data were translated into design and policy improvements across a portfolio. Stephanie will discuss what could and couldn’t be implemented portfolio-wide and why. She will discuss on-going research and what the team expects to learn in the coming months regarding the employee experience and the office environment.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Upon completion, participants will understand why companies are shifting their focus to the employee experience and how environmental factors impact this experience.
    • Understand the primary parameters measured in the indoor environment and their impact on human health, wellbeing, and productivity.
    • Upon completion, participants will understand the decision-making process and criteria for success in implementing large-scale technology projects in workplaces, and be able to plan for their own environmental sensor deployments.
    • Upon completion, participants will be able use best practices for effectively leveraging large quantities of sensor data to drive concrete outcomes and positive change in the workplace.
