Transforming where we live: Buildings and Cities

Buildings account for nearly 40% of our total energy consumption and CO2 emissions. People spend 90% of our time in buildings. We have to improve the way we live, work, and interact with buildings, how they interact with the environment, and how they are used. LAB has done significant research and worked with various parties to understand and transform buildings and the services around them.

Changing Real Estate Through Science:

  • Healthy and Productive Environments

    Publishers of the Healthy Office Revolution, LAB was started with the curiosity into why people were getting sick, burning out, from work that they loved. Together with CBRE, LAB conducted multiple research studies into the impact of the built environment on people and the results were astounding and clear. Where we live and work matters. Get in touch to learn more and here the story.

  • Smart Technologies

    Learn Adapt Build is the organization behind the Smart Building Certification. The SBC framework comes from the knowledge base, research, and transformational experience of the LAB ecosystem. We use SBC as a benchmarking framework to guide and support real estate transformation. How smart is your building? How well are you managing your assets?

  • 15 Minute Cities

    Our journey continues beyond the indoor environment or the building into the city and community people live and work. Research supports the hypothesis of the 15 minute city, that everything you want, need, and desire should be within 15 minutes walk or bike ride from your house. Our world is not currently designed like this, so what incremental steps can we take together to move towards better ways of building them.
