Definition of the Smart Story of the premises

Usually 3 days

The purpose of this support is to make your project more progressive, attractive and thus, in addition, more competitive.
It allows you to define and implement everything required to reach your Smart goals, i.e. to ensure that the building provides services to the different types of users.
The users will thus consider the premises as having a competitive advantage with regard to energy, flexibility, agility, comfort and effectiveness.

SB Experts supports you in the creation of the Smart expectations of the entire group of users for your building. These will be defined for the different types of users starting from their needs established during the interviews carried out for this purpose.
Following the interviews, we will create an inventory for you of user stories and then user journeys.
At this stage, it will also be necessary to take the certifications (BREEAM, WELL, RSI, …) demanded into consideration and include them in the user stories listed.

Based on the Smart wish-list and possibilities drawn up by the different users in the building and the decision-makers of the projects, you need to validate the elements which concord with your vision and with the expected added value. This stage is critical in order to define the effective Smartness or the projected Smart-readiness, given that your project must remain Smart throughout the entire life cycle of the building. Once it has been validated (must-have and nice-to-have elements), these functional expectations become the common thread for the continuation of the implementation process.

Befimmo

16 000 m2 of offices in Ixelles

Complete renovation of an existing building in Ixelles.  The challenge was to render it completely Smart: with a service for users that is green, flexible, adaptable, including an applications portal.

SB Experts followed this visionary project in its entirety:

  • interviews with future users of the building (from the maintenance team to the owner, including the secretary) in order to respond to the expectations of future occupants
  • conversion of users’ needs into technical and functional diagrams
  • IT backbone of the building
  • assistance with drawing up the specifications, notably by preparing a detailed report on the new technologies to be integrated into the building
  • assistance with the selection of partners.
