And today, we live in it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sidara began the journey nine years ago with a clear vision to create a best-in class working environment, underpinned by the concept of a place that could allow ideas to thrive and encourage visual and physical connection between the Sidara companies occupying the finished building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also had clear output goals. So, everything we did, from the architectural design to the network capability, we referenced back to how it would help us to improve aspects against our core list:<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"banner-image banner-image--s4\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col\">\n                <div class=\"position-relative\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.mintcreative.com\/ideal-test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/The-Digital-Journey-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\" class=\"img-fluid w-100\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"container insight-container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col\">\n            <div class=\"insight-content__text-block\">\n                <h4><strong>Integrating operational and occupational functionality<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Moto Shakoori, Founder and CEO at Ideal, said: \u201cWe have created Converged Network Systems (CNS) and high-spec Wi-Fi for over 20 Smart Buildings, but 150 is unique.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause Sidara were the developer and the eventual tenant, we were able to design the Shell and Core and the Fit Out network concurrently, which enabled us to fully mesh operational functionality and occupational functionality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy does that matter? Well one example is the meeting room functionality. Each room knows how many people are in it at any time, so it manages the room climate appropriately. Based on the booking data, lights dim to signal a meeting is ending, creating a positive meeting room culture. The aircon then pumps in fresh air ready for the next meeting. That level of experience can only happen with hyper-connectivity.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Leading edge technology behind the scenes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Andy Waters, BEMS &amp; IoT Smart Building Specialist at Schneider Electric (SE), who provided much of the core building management technology, explained that SE developed some specific technology based on Sidara\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne example is that we made an independent data layer that collects information from all the separate systems. This allows new systems, digital services and applications to be added without affecting existing services or requiring complicated collaborations. We had never done that before. Now that\u2019s best-practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Creating a Living Lab<\/h4>\n<p>Lisa Kenny, Head of Client Experience at Dar UK, London, explains that the resulting building is what they call a \u2018Living Lab\u2019. \u201cWe now have a building that provides clear data. That enables us to learn as we go along and to make informed decisions at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moto Shakoori shared a real example of how this Living Lab is already delivering: \u201cIntelligent IP blinds were originally planned to automatically close on sunny days to keep the building cool; these were then value engineered out at the construction stage to save costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we have 18 months of data, we can see that aircon on the south-facing side demands around 35% more energy than the rest of the building. Now we can make a decision about retrofitting the blinds based on commercial as well as ecological sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Workshop identifies key issues<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Lively workshops at 150 identified a range of issues that are front of mind in Smart Buildings today.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"banner-image banner-image--s4\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col\">\n                <div class=\"position-relative\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.mintcreative.com\/ideal-test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IDEALHOLBORN37BRIGHTON-PICTURES-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\" class=\"img-fluid w-100\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"container insight-container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col\">\n            <div class=\"insight-content__text-block\">\n                <p>These roughly fell into 3 categories:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As with any new technological possibility it\u2019s easy to get swept up with all the shiny new products and services on offer. One delegate described it as \u201clike being a kiddy in a sweetshop.\u201d But are you actually going to use this new functionality? Will your Facilities Management staff have the skills needed to run the systems? Will IT be able to interrogate the data? Will there be an appetite to drive change based on what the data tells us?<\/p>\n<p>The group concluded that drilling into why you\u2019re applying Smart technology and what you really want to achieve, like Sidara did so successfully, is a key to practical real-world success.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Scope and timescales<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A typical building development could take many years. Obviously, over that time, technology can deliver things that were never even thought about at inception. But developers and contractors are reluctant to move away from the initial scope and the effort and cost involved in driving changes through the process can feel prohibitive.<\/p>\n<p>There is often friction between construction firms focused on practical completion against tight timescales, and network and IP partners who might want to re-spec in order to deliver the best possible solution.<\/p>\n<p>What Sidara\u2019s journey to Smart shows us is how close collaboration and open, positive relationships between partners can be key to making a better outcome.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. The user experience and business case<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Attendees came from the private and public sector and found that user experience and expectations were vastly different.<\/p>\n<p>One delegate from the Higher Education sector, described how he knew that Smart technology could inspire students across his campus. After all, who would appreciate Open Roaming Wi-Fi or app-enabled location data more than young people? But getting senior management to invest was the real challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The private sector perspective was almost the opposite. There is huge appetite for Smart; but there\u2019s a chicken and egg situation to create a business case or calculate the ROI. You need data to substantiate the commercial viability. But you haven\u2019t got the data without the \u2018smarts\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>What everyone agreed is that workshops like this, where experts and users get together, helps enormously. As a specifier, you realise that no-one has all the answers, which is comforting. As a user you get a better vison of what is possible. And as a technology company, you get to understand what customers priorities really are.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"container insight-container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col\">\n            <div class=\"insight-content__text-block\">\n                <h2><span class=\"text-gradient\"><strong>The rooftop plays a starring role<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"banner-image banner-image--s4\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col\">\n                <div class=\"position-relative\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.mintcreative.com\/ideal-test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IDEALHOLBORN-ROOFTOP-1.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\" class=\"img-fluid w-100\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"container insight-container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col\">\n            <div class=\"insight-content__text-block\">\n                <p>The day ended with the chance for everyone to get together on the beautiful rooftop Pavilion, surrounded by gorgeous plants and thriving nature, in the heart of London.<\/p>\n<p>It was an appropriate place to end a fruitful day. Sidara deliberately sunk all of the building services out of sight, so that the rooftop could be used in this way. The vision for 150 was collaboration; the lively hubbub here certainly attested to the success in this space. And the indigenous flora and fauna is a testament to the sustainable credentials of the building.<\/p>\n<p>Moto Shakoori, Founder and CEO at Ideal, summed up the event: \u201cIt was a fantastic day. The flurry of ideas in the workshop illustrated what a dynamic field we work in. The networking on the roof sparked so many diverse conversations my head is still buzzing.
