X Smart Living
A building's design, delivery and daily operation connected in one intelligence layer.
01The problem
Buildings are gaining intelligent devices, but devices alone do not make a building work well. People, systems and data stay fragmented across the lifecycle, from design and procurement to field execution and daily operation. The people who run a building face plenty of data but too few usable insights, and energy, air quality and comfort are difficult to see and act on together.
02The system
A building intelligence operating system for smart buildings.
X Smart Living describes itself as a Building Intelligence OS: one intelligence layer for each building. It follows the building lifecycle, from designing with data, through delivery from procurement to field execution, to connecting devices and systems, operating through monitoring, automation and maintenance, and improving continuously. A building command centre gives a single view of buildings, systems and performance.
03Why it matters
Design, delivery and operations are connected in one view of each building, from the first drawing to daily running.
Built for
- The people who run buildings
- Residential buildings
- Offices and workplaces
- Hospitality and retail spaces
04What it does
- 01
Intelligence at every stage
One layer that follows the building from design with real-world insight through procurement and field execution to operation.
- 02
Devices, systems and data
Devices, systems and data integrated into one vendor-neutral layer instead of isolated intelligent devices.
- 03
Building command centre
A single view of buildings, systems and performance, meant to surface insights rather than raw data.
- 04
Energy, air and comfort
Energy, air quality and comfort in one view, so operators can act on what makes a building healthier and more efficient.

06How it works
- 01
Design with data
Design decisions draw on data and real-world insight.
- 02
Deliver
The same layer carries the building from procurement through field execution.
- 03
Connect and operate
Devices, systems and data are integrated, then monitored, automated and maintained.
- 04
Optimise
Performance improves continuously, for the people inside, for the building and for the planet.
07What makes it different
X Smart Living starts from the view that a building needs an operating system, not only more intelligent devices. It covers the whole lifecycle in one layer, from design through delivery to daily operation, and calls its approach vendor-neutral, evidence-aware and human-centric, so the people responsible for a building keep control.
08Trust and governance
X Smart Living names privacy and security, vendor neutrality, and auditability with control as its trust principles. It describes itself as evidence-aware and human-centric, with clear audit trails and full control for the people responsible for a building. The command-centre view on its public page uses simulated demo data.
09In the portfolio
Places
X Smart Living sits in the Places orbit beside the portfolio's construction, real-estate and community ventures, and looks at the building itself as a system to be run. It shares the common method: begin with the fragmentation people actually face, and keep people in control with an auditable record.
