Leading real estate development company, Bloom Holding has announced the implementation of an innovative “smart building” platform which will enable it to greatly increase a building’s operational efficiency and optimize overall energy consumption.

The Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based platform will enable Bloom Holding, through its facilities management arm, b.fm, to remotely monitor and control property assets. It generates a wealth of information that brings immense value to owners and tenants and the property management team, b.fm who service them. Owners and tenants will see benefits such as increased personalization options, reduced utility bills, a more seamless maintenance service and safer environment to live and work in.

As part of its part ongoing commitment to sustainability, Bloom Holding has worked in collaboration with Etisalat Smart Building Solutions and other experts to develop smart technologies designed to enhance the experience of owners and tenants through the creation of energy-efficient living and working environments.

In the first phase of implementation, the platform will be integrated in six of Bloom Holding’s buildings. The design of the company’s future residential and mixed-use developments will incorporate the platform at design stage in anticipation of the future introduction of 5G, which will open up further possibilities for technology-enabled management solutions.

Jeremy Lester, Acting CEO of Bloom Holding, commented: “Integrating smart technologies into our developments will enable us to bring immense value to our owners and tenants. Our residential and business customers and tenants will enjoy a more personalised experience, improved safety standards, and the benefits of saving on utility consumption and tapping into effective, real-time data that help drive their lives and business forward.

This initiative falls in line with our plans to develop sustainable communities that transform the way customers experience their workspaces and homes through technologies that support more energy-efficient environments and reduced energy consumption.”
