Elevated is a space-level smart building platform for individual tenant spaces (as opposed to a whole-building BAS) that provides occupant-focused controls and analytics through features like desk and room booking, indoor air quality monitoring, and integrations with lighting, HVAC, access control, and security camera systems. It integrates with IoT devices like IAQ sensors and occupancy sensors, and enterprise tools (Outlook, Teams, Matterport scans) to generate space utilization heatmaps and occupant-tailored dashboards for tenant companies, architects, and real estate advisors.
Amazon's Niharika Kishore described how a model with one technician covering 50 buildings pushed the company toward AI-assisted maintenance for HVAC, refrigeration, and water. The point was not adding more alarms, but finding a way to act on them before breakdowns hit the site.
Hannah Baker, engineer at Willow, walks through how DFW Airport built a CBM program that actually stuck, from training a non-technical QA team to triage thousands of faults, to graduating recurring issues into automated work orders, to tracking a single KPI called 'unsuccessfully actioned' that finally gave leadership visibility into whether closed work orders were actually fixing the problem.
Jose de Castro, CTO of Mapped, shows how one of the world's largest retailers moved restroom operations from schedule-based janitorial rounds to condition-based workflows by combining foot traffic sensors, flush counts, soap levels, and occupancy predictions into AI-summarized work orders that land directly in the existing CMMS, with no new dashboards or tools for technicians to learn.
Brad Dameron from the University of Iowa's Asset Optimization Team and Katie Rossman from Clockworks Analytics walk through how Iowa handles 3,500 faults per day without burying their maintenance shops, showing the exact triage, routing, and closeout workflow they built to turn fault detection into planned work orders that look and feel identical to every other work order in the system.
