Technology can play a big part in the employee experience within modern offices, and it can be the key to boosting well-being, happiness, success, performance and even general health.
IoT devices are growing rapidly and their integration with digital twins have already seen them implemented into some offices. One of the main drivers behind their adoption is to ensure the workplace becomes more agile, giving more flexibility and choice.
Remote working has become a huge part of people’s lives since the pandemic broke out over 18 months ago and commercial real estate facilities are now understanding of the transformation offices are going through, as we switch to a world of hybrid working. Due to this, hot desking is expected to grow in popularity amongst many businesses and enabling occupiers to book rooms and desks in advance is just one of the features of Twinview to help improve their experience.
Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air and many of the cases of sick leave within a company can be directly related to the quality of the air. Twinview uses sensors to monitor the air quality within a space and indicate whether it is good or bad, allowing the facility manager to rectify the issue. Poor air quality can lead to a drop in productivity, workplace satisfaction and attendance.
By unlocking access to a building’s management systems and the data they produce, Twinview ensures that its performance can be optimised. Ultimately this leads to a more enjoyable experience for its tenants, especially when considering the change to hybrid working. On top of that, Twinview reduces a building’s impact on the environment which could also be a factor that occupiers believe improves their experience. By reducing carbon usage and moving a building closer to Net Zero, occupiers will feel good knowing that they are doing their bit to tackle climate change.
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.

The UK’s National Health Service (NHS), one of the world's largest publicly funded healthcare systems, manages a vast and complex estate, including over 1,200 hospitals, thousands of clinics, GP surgeries, and administrative buildings. Managing such an extensive estate efficiently is essential to delivering high-quality patient care, meeting sustainability targets, and ensuring the financial viability of the healthcare system. With increasing demand, financial constraints, and sustainability commitments such as the Net Zero NHS plan, there is a pressing need to optimise how NHS facilities are managed. One of the most promising innovations in this regard is the adoption of Property Digital Twins (PDTs) virtual replicas of physical assets that provide real-time data on building performance, environmental conditions, and operational efficiency. Learn how by embracing Property Digital Twins, the NHS can transform its approach to estate management, achieving significant cost savings, enhancing patient care, and contributing to national sustainability goals.

In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2017, where 72 people lost their lives, the need for a comprehensive approach to building safety became starkly evident. The public inquiry highlighted a devastating reality: critical information about the building's structure, materials, and fire safety measures was either missing, outdated, or scattered across various documents and databases. This fragmentation of information—a far cry from the "Golden Thread" of safety data that should have been in place—played a crucial role in the disaster. Fast forward to 2023, and the fire at an apartment block in Dagenham served as a grim reminder that the lessons of Grenfell have not yet been fully learned.
