Synopsis

This project aimed to explore various aspects of mobility in the context of building solutions. Breaking away from the traditional approach of monitoring buildings, a pre-product visualisation was created to move from a centralised Building Management System to a distributed one.

Significant research into the building solutions domain led to the designing of a mobility-related solution where the origin of problems was identified and its related tasks were assigned through mobile apps. This design solution was targeted for a large enterprise level building with a large number of people staying and working for long hours and aimed to facilitate the central stakeholders, viz. maintenance personnel, facility managers, and the occupants of the building.
