Bridging the Gap Development | Fifth & Dinwiddie: State-of-the-Art Integration & Performance
The IBcon Smart Building Best Practice Showcase is an annual event held at the Realcomm | IBcon conference where real estate leaders present their most innovative, technology driven commercial and corporate real estate projects. These projects demonstrate leading-edge technologies and vision for intelligent and adaptive design that is transforming the next generation of IT-enabled real estate. The Weekly News Briefing will feature a unique Showcase project each week.
Fifth & Dinwiddie is a mixed-use, mixed-income development offering commercial office space, co-working space, housing units and retail. Its Passive House design strategies reduce energy consumption by 70% compared to the regional average for its building type.
F&D prioritizes occupant health, tracked through Fitwel and RESET Air Certification. RESET will ensure indoor air quality with real time monitoring based on the first-ever RESET Air multi-family typology. It is the first integrated digital twin of this type that combines simulated data and trended data to enable advanced analytics. The design includes a converged OT network, with an open data lake resulting in single-pane-of-glass for all time-series operational data. Believing that aspirational design is not enough, Bridging the Gap and their teams planned for “straight out of the gate” effectiveness and measurable performance. An on-site clean energy jobs program keeps the community focused on training, education and improvement.
