SMART BUILDINGS SHOW 2026 PREVIEW
For architects and designers, smart technology is no longer simply an add-on or specialist consideration.
Smart Buildings Show 2026 brings together the latest technologies, innovations and expertise from across the smart buildings sector, giving architects, architectural technologists and interior designers the opportunity to explore practical solutions and discover new approaches to connected, highperforming spaces.
For professionals involved in design and specification, the show offers insight into how smart technology can be incorporated from concept through to completion. Explore solutions spanning intelligent lighting, heating and cooling, ventilation, security, energy management, shading, access control and automated building systems – and discover how these technologies can work together as part of a considered design strategy.
Connected systems can also provide valuable data about how buildings are occupied and used. Real-time monitoring and automation can enable systems to respond to changing conditions, helping to minimise unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining comfortable, well-controlled environments. For clients and building owners, this can support lower operating costs and improved asset performance. For occupants, it can deliver greater comfort, convenience and control.
For architects and designers, smart technology is no longer simply an add-on or specialist consideration.
