Indoor environmental technology is changing. But where is it heading next? 💭
We asked our CEO, Matt Vogel, for his perspective on what the next decade could look like.
In his view, we're moving beyond traditional building automation towards autonomous, health-aware environmental systems that don't just monitor indoor environments but actively respond to them.
As advances in sensors, artificial intelligence and automation continue, indoor environments have the potential to become increasingly responsive and personal - detecting changes, identifying potential issues and adapting automatically to better support people's health, comfort and wellbeing.
💬 “I also believe the greatest opportunity lies in improving existing buildings. Millions of people spend their lives in homes, schools, workplaces, hospitals, and care environments that could be healthier and more comfortable. Affordable, adaptable technology can make a real difference without requiring every building to be rebuilt.
Ultimately, I see the future of indoor environmental technology as less about smart buildings and more about caring buildings. Spaces that use technology thoughtfully to protect health, support wellbeing, reduce environmental impact, and help people live and work more comfortably.”
