SmartViz x University of Oxford = De-risking Estate Strategy with Real-time Intelligence We’re proud to be working with the University of Oxford to drive efficiency, sustainability, and cultural change across their historic campus. Beginning as a small pilot, the project has now identified significant, deliverable savings in operational budgets regarding surplus space and its servicing costs across 20 buildings and 200,000+ square meters on campus. SmartViz’s platform integrated data from low-cost occupancy and environmental sensors with existing systems like Cisco Webex, creating a continuous, real-time view of how the Oxford estate is used. This data is presented through a digital twin visualisation, empowering the estate team to make bold, strategic decisions based on facts rather than assumptions. 👉 Read the article: vist.ly/4zhj6 👇 Watch the interview with Trevor Payne below for the full story hashtag#highereducation hashtag#campusmanagement hashtag#digitaltwin hashtag#smartcampus hashtag#spaceutilisation hashtag#occupancyanalytics hashtag#estatemanagement hashtag#facilitymanagement

We're now live on the Esri Partner Directory! As part of the Esri UK Partner Network, we're bringing together real-time building data and location intelligence to help UK estate managers make better-informed estate decisions.

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Esri UK! The partnership brings SmartViz’s real-time building intelligence and digital twin platform into Esri’s global partner ecosystem. Together, we’re connecting real-time operational data with location intelligence, giving estate teams a clearer picture of not just where their assets and spaces are, but how they are actually being used and performing. For UK estate managers, this means turning occupancy and location data into practical insights to help: • Understand how spaces are being used • Identify opportunities to right-size portfolios • Improve estate operations • Make better-informed capital investment decisions Find out how SmartViz and Esri UK can support your estate strategy: lnkd.in/empmGptf #SmartViz #EsriUK #Partnership #OccupancyIntelligence #LocationIntelligence #OperationalIntelligence #DigitalTwin #EstateManagement

What did the judges see in SmartViz? 🏆 Following our double win at the Building Innovation Awards 2026, it was encouraging to see the judges’ feedback recognise both the technology and the real-world impact behind SmartViz. They highlighted measurable results across major estates: avoided capital expenditure, reduced operating costs, improved space utilisation and measurable carbon benefits. Alongside these outcomes, they recognised the innovation and scalability of our People-Centred Building Intelligence platform, highlighting its interoperable approach and the evidence from multiple major deployments. For us, the two go hand in hand: using better evidence about how buildings are used and how they perform to make better asset and estate decisions. That’s exactly what we set out to do. Thank you again to the Building Innovation Awards judges for the recognition.

How are our spaces actually being used, and how can we make them work better? It’s the same question at every scale of the built environment. A desk. A room. A building. A campus. An estate. A city.

Smart Space Forum's new analysis shows teaching spaces utilisation across UK universities is typically 20% and for some universities even under 10%. Yet those same buildings are still cleaned, heated, secured and maintained as if they were full five days a week. 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. When you can see how your campus is actually used, the financial impact is immediate. Learn how 20 estate leaders adopt data-driven approach to unlock millions of pounds of savings. One university avoided £5.1m of new construction. Another saved over £1m by splitting a single lecture theatre in two. 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. 𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

Cutting cost, carbon and complexity starts with one thing: hard evidence. That was the heart of our recent webinar with North. Occupancy intelligence helps estate leaders understand student behaviours, spot spare capacity, and build their own benchmarks for campus spaces. It goes beyond knowing whether a room is booked. It's about knowing how students actually use different types of space and turning that into a picture of how estates truly perform. Increasingly, that picture is driving energy management and Net Zero strategy too. Huge thanks to Trevor Payne and David Gray for such open, practical insight, and to Tom Worley and the North team for putting together a valuable session. If any of this resonates with the challenges on your own estate, we'd love to hear from you.

Underused space is costing you more than you think. That's why we're teaming up with North to explore how occupancy intelligence can help you: • Optimise space utilisation and planning • Cut unnecessary energy waste • Hit sustainability targets • Make faster, data-led estate decisions • Enhance campus user experience The event brings together estates leaders, tech experts and industry practitioners to show how occupancy intelligence is transforming smart campuses, with real-world examples.

Is your estate team making million-pound decisions based on gut feel? There is a smarter way. Space utilisation analytics gives estate managers real-time visibility into how every building, floor, and room is actually being used. Forward-looking estate teams are already using it to cut costs, reduce waste, and make confident decisions about their properties. Here are 6 ways it is transforming modern estate management. 👉 tinyurl.com/33vaf8ab

Our ongoing work with the University of Oxford demonstrates the value of combining powerful technology with genuine collaboration. Together, we've built a data-driven approach to space management that delivers: • 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 • 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 • 𝗔 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 The result is better-informed decisions about space, investment, user experience and operational performance across a complex estate. #SmartViz #SmartBuildings #Buildinganalytics #FacilityManagement #EstateManagement #HigherEducation #SmartCampus #CampusManagement

There is a massive gap between writing a climate resilience strategy and actually delivering it on a live campus. Right now, education estate teams are under incredible pressure to adapt to unpredictable weather. Classrooms and lecture halls are dealing with real heat stress that directly disrupts learning and compromises student health. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. • It is challenging to boost student experience if you do not know how they actually interact with your buildings. • Without a clear understanding of daily occupancy patterns, temperature and energy management is just guesswork. This recent piece from Campus Estate magazine highlights exactly why embedding climate resilience into daily operations is now a critical priority for the sector. 👉 Read the article here: campusestate.co.uk/index.php… #SmartViz #SmartBuildings #Buildinganalytics #FacilityManagement #EstateManagement #SmartCampus #CampusManagement

You likely don’t need to build or rent more estate space. You’re likely in a position to rent out a big part of your estate! Implementing real time analytics often reveals that organisations already have the footprint they need, it is just hidden behind disconnected data. In our latest article, we dive into why a human-centric data approach is the way to go for estate teams. We’ve used the approach to support private organisations (like Vodafone), government bodies (like Midlothian Council), and universities (like Cardiff Metropolitan University and the University of Oxford) maximise their footprints and cut multi-million-dollar costs. Discover how looking at live usage patterns helps you: • Make confident decisions • Reduce capital and operational costs • Improve user experience and wellbeing 👉 Read the full article here: tinyurl.com/h8vmaj8z hashtag#SmartViz hashtag#SmartBuildings hashtag#Buildinganalytics hashtag#FacilityManagement hashtag#EstateManagement hashtag#SpaceUtilisation hashtag#OccupancyAnalytics
