Synopsis
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the way we live and the way we use building spaces in an unprecedented way, specifically within our homes, offices, and public establishments, all of which will form the New Norm. This New Norm will transform the way architects design for the future. The architecture industry needs to re-evaluate space design and technology applications with pandemic readiness in mind to address the imminent demands. SIA organizes this Webinar to shed lights on design for the New Norm from two industry experts.
Ms Angela Lee will be speaking from the perspective of a healthcare planner about infectious disease mitigation principles and strategies for space design. Er Steve Perkins as a smart building engineer will be sharing about how technologies could be implemented to make a difference in the post-pandemic world.
Topic 1: Reboot Readiness: A Primer on How to Design for Contagions by Ms Angela Lee
Large metropolitan areas have been the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic globally, and in many ways has highlighted the fragility of our cities. This ever-present threat of contagion has already radically changed and continues to transform how we interact with each other. As we begin to reboot our lives into the New Norm, we will discuss operational, building, interiors and individual strategies that are effective against the spread of the virus from a healthcare standpoint. And since this has given us an opportunity to re-imagine our futures with a new lens of contagion management, we will also present longer term solutions on how to build resilience against the next pandemic in our buildings, our cities, and our societies.
Topic 2: Smart Building Design for a Pandemic and Beyond by Er Steve Perkins
Building owners and tenants have been using next generation information and communication technologies for a number of years to increase their operational efficiency, promote wellness, accelerate their environmental sustainability plans and improve the quality of services they provide to others.
They are now using these smart building technologies to make their buildings safer during the COVID-19 pandemic
In this presentation Steve Perkins will be discussing a range of new technologies that are being deployed n the fight against the pandemic, including tools for safe people movement, touchless building controls, social distancing management and indoor environmental quality enhancement.
To provide long term value these systems need to have a useful purpose once the pandemic has passed, and so a key consideration in their selection is ensuring they are solving multiple operational needs – ideally sitting at the centre of overlapping economic, social and environmental needs. Health & Safety management and Agile Workplace management are two areas where this technology will provide valuable long term service.
