Smart Perspectives

September 19,2017

At the BuiltWorlds’ Buildings 2.0 Conference on September 19, 2017, DMA Principal Charles Porter participated on a panel providing “A Commercial Real Estate Owner’s Perspective on Driving Sustainability in Projects.” The panel, including Joe Harris from JMB and Benjamin Stephenson from Pepper Construction, addressed how to incorporate new and exciting technology into buildings and ensure that innovative approaches, including sustainability endeavors, are not “value-engineered” out of projects. Walker Thisted, of BuiltWorlds, moderated the discussion.

Buildings 2.0, held in Chicago at UI Labs, centered on the newest innovations and challenges of designing, building and maintaining smart buildings.
