It is estimated that 26.6 billion devices such as smartphones, laptops and computers are connected to the internet. This figure is expected to rise to about 80 billion by 2025, an astonishing feat in such little time. What does this mean for the workplace? It means there will be increased productivity, higher efficiency, better forecasting and improved agility for occupiers.
IoT can offer capabilities that optimise the utilisation of space, matches resource supply and demand whilst targeting the delivery of amenities and services. Furthermore, it can improve the culture, community and cohesion of workspaces all whilst offering the valuable data and insights that inform a business and drives true value for real estate owners.
Here are some key areas where Twinview is improving the occupier experience.
It has always been a challenge to regulate temperatures for spaces whilst also keeping employees content, however, this challenge is now becoming a thing of the past as Twinview offers occupiers access to benefits such as heating control, lighting control and air quality reporting. Not only does this reduce energy costs but it also lowers a building’s carbon footprint.
Office workers can often feel frustrated at their lack of being able to find meeting rooms or spaces with availability. Gartner has estimated that the average employee spends 27 hours per year looking for spaces to meet. Twinview is a browser-based digital twin and the launch of Smartview will ensure that occupiers can carry out a range of activities such as room availability and booking.
Ensuring that workspaces are operational and functional should always be the priority for occupiers. Buildings used to operate via fragmented systems before the rise of IoT. Key systems such as HVAC and lighting are typically used to work within their own separate networks but with IoT-connected devices, all of these can operate together within a streamlined ecosystem.
Twinview is a browser-based digital twin platform for the property sector connecting building systems’ data to a 3D model viewed on a single dashboard. Twinview becomes your first step to achieving Net Zero by providing continuous live data and an optimised building performance whilst reducing costs and improving the user experience.

With NHS waiting lists exceeding 7.4 million appointments, improving operational efficiency across estates and facilities is more important than ever. While no single solution can resolve systemic pressures, clearer visibility of infrastructure and capacity can support better decision-making. Twinview provides an operational intelligence layer that brings together estate, asset and space data into a single, trusted view. By connecting existing systems and surfacing real-time information, it helps NHS organisations understand how rooms, assets and environments are being used and where constraints may be emerging. At East Sussex NHS, Twinview supports improved room occupancy oversight and operational coordination. These practical applications demonstrate how better infrastructure visibility contributes to smoother day-to-day operations, protecting clinical capacity and reducing avoidable disruption. By strengthening the operational foundations that healthcare delivery depends on, organisations are better equipped to manage demand pressures in a measured and informed way.

A new report from the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) and The King’s Fund makes a compelling case: improving housing is one of the most effective ways to reduce health inequalities in the UK. Affordable, secure and good-quality homes function as a form of health infrastructure, shaping everyday conditions long before someone seeks clinical care. Delivering this vision, however, requires more than policy ambition. Housing providers need strong operational capability, clear visibility of asset condition and compliance status, and the ability to identify and address issues before they escalate. This is where digital foundations become critical. Twinview acts as an operational intelligence layer across housing portfolios, bringing together asset information, compliance records, system performance data and environmental insights into a single, structured view. By connecting existing systems and surfacing trusted information, it enables housing teams to see how their buildings are performing and where intervention may be required.

Higher education institutions manage some of the most complex and diverse estates in the public sector, encompassing multi-campus environments, ageing infrastructure, specialist teaching and research facilities and high levels of daily occupancy. Effective estate management is therefore critical to supporting academic excellence, meeting sustainability commitments and maintaining financial resilience. As operational pressures increase and resources tighten, universities are increasingly exploring innovations such as digital twins to improve visibility and control across their estates.
