This episode of START comes at a timely juncture as many are questioning how the fourth industrial revolution should be navigated and the potential of artificial intelligence (AI). 

We sit down with the knowledge experts that comprise DP Architect’s (DPA) Smart Sustainability Unit (SSU) to discuss about technology and its applications across the Built Environment (BE); specifically delving into its untapped capacity to fulfil the many concerns of the built environment and challenges faced by the professionals across the entire BE cycle. This ranges from bolstering the fight against climate change by harnessing artificial intelligence and data at design concept stage and transforming the design environment for BE professions through the integration of advance digital technology to enhancing resource optimisation, and improving liveability and experience of space. 

The domain knowledge experts convened together for this episode are: 

• DPA director and Head of the SSU, Chan Hui Min 
• DP Sustainable Design (DPSD) director Yong Siew Onn, 
•  DPSD senior ESD Analyst Yehezkiel Williardy and 
• architectural associate at DPA, Bob Lee. 

The quartet shares insights on:

• What exactly does ‘Smart” mean in the context of the Built Environment, and how can it be intertwined together with sustainability concerns
• How harnessing the power of digital technologies and artificial intelligence can potentially elevate design and delivery capabilities of BE professionals across the Real Estate cycle 
• What is DPA’s Smart Sustainability Unit driving towards and how its three products – NimbleSim Plus, Digital Twin Explorer and Spaceworx – will work towards effecting more sustainable design decisions, greater design efficacy and efficiency, resource optimisation and end-user wellbeing. 
  
  

This podcast explores how technology can be utilised to improve sustainability initiatives in meaningful and material ways, to create productive outcomes for all involved stakeholders. It will provoke audience members into re-examining the potential of applying technology to industry, through understanding how Built Environment professionals can utilise their domain knowledge and marry it with up-and-coming technologies to create a multiplier effect that generates benefits for everyone.
