PROLOGUE

A disruptive technology is one that displaces

an established technology and shakes up the

industry or a ground-breaking product that

creates a completely new industry.

Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen

coined the term disruptive technology.

What is disruptive technology? - Definition from WhatIs.com

https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/disruptive-technology

The digital age is more than technology. PropTech, the term for property and technology covers all technological and digital innovations relating to the property industry. The potential benefits of data, information, automation and Artificial Intelligence are widely recognized. Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Geographic Information System (GIS) and associated digital technologies are disruptive technologies. There are huge opportunities to transform the DNA of our industry, build capacity to recognize and harness disruption, thereby achieving sustainability on planet earth with smart living in smart cities.

Gauging the future The potential benefits of data, automation and Artificial Intelligence are widely recognized, but is the industry giving enough attention to less mature but potentially hugely transformative technologies?

Data and automation are the main areas that respondents expect to generate most change in the property industry.

30% of respondents ranked automation as having the biggest impact on the industry in the short term. A further 27% placed big data and data analytics first.

In the long term, 32% of respondents focused more on Artificial Intelligence, with 17% and 8% focusing on data and automation respectively.

This is also reflected in the technologies that incumbent real estate organizations are most likely to utilize. Almost a third (31%) ranked automation highest and 27% voted for big data and data analytics in the short term. 28% placed Artificial Intelligence highest in the long term.

Asia Pacific Regional BIM Group & Forum (September 2018) Different economies are at different stages of BIM Adoption :

(1) Driven by Government regulators; (2) Driven by Public Sector’s Procurers/Developers;

(3) Coordinated by the Industry; (4) Not driven by public sector, but some Private Sector’s Developers adopt BIM.

. There are two types of BIM drivers in the global arena:

(1) Those who dare to dream at strategic level, and (2) Those who set standards at the technical level.

Academia needs help to include BIM in their curriculum.

The Smart City Blueprint embrace innovation and technology to build a world-famed Smart Hong Kong characterized by a strong economy and high quality of living. Green buildings preserve precious resources and improve our quality of life, in line with the mission of Smart City Blueprint to consume fewer resources and make Hong Kong more environment-friendly while maintaining its vibrancy, efficiency and liveability. Indeed, we have been riding on our vehicle for industry transformation. Right now we have Construction 2.0, Smart City 3.0, Industry 4.0, and Society 5.0 advocated in Japan.

DON’T PREDICT THE FUTURE.

Member survey 2018 Findings based on GBC data from Sept 2017 to Sept 2018

FINDINGS

• Trends GBCs have identified as having an impact on our industry are climate change,

energy transition and energy efficiency

• This has led to a focus on existing building – retrofits as well as performance in operation

• GBCs pointed to an increase in the supply of green products and a focus on the circular

economy

• The residential market is greening, starting with social and affordable housing and

supported by green mortgages

• GBCs are working collaboratively with government and in many countries incentives are

being provided for green building

• Technology is being used as an enabler for sustainability

• There is a focus on healthy people, including air quality

Findings

When asked about trends GBCs reported climate change, energy transition and energy efficiency were key trends. This has led to a focus on existing building – retrofits as well as performance in operation. GBCs pointed to an increase in the supply of green products and a focus on the circular economy. The residential market is greening, starting with social and affordable

housing and supported by green mortgages. GBCs are working collaboratively with government and in many countries incentives are being provided for green building. Technology is being used as an enabler for sustainability, especially among

the millennials. There is a focus on healthy people, including air quality.

Trends presenting opportunities

Trends - opportunities

PropTech

• Technology - connection with sustainability

• Smart cities (that are also green)

• Data-driven building insights

• Digitalisation

• Millennial generation that accustom and adore smart

technology as well having a good awareness on health

and sustainable issues

• BIM/technological increasing construction efficiency

• People

• Growing interest in human-building relationships

• Health & wellbeing

• Desire to work in productive and healthy buildings

• Air quality

• Smart City Blueprint lays down a roadmap which in many ways would complement and advance our frontiers of green building movement. Its Vision is “Embrace I&T to build a world-famed Smart Hong Kong characterised by a strong economy and high quality of life.”

• It is people-centric, covering 6 major areas, namely Smart mobility, Smart living, Smart environment, Smart people, Smart government, Smart economy. Green buildings is an important component in Smart Living and Smart Environment, and we should make best use of technology and innovation in digital construction to facilitate our development of green buildings and green neighbourhoods in our built environment.

BIM in Hong Kong Integrated Use of BIM and GIS

I am very impressed by an inaugural conference about integrated use of BIM & GIS, jointly organized by

two local institutes, the HKGISA and HKIBIM earlier this year in May 2018.

Construction 2.0

• Industry 4.0 already affecting various industry sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, retail, transport, logistics, entertainment and communications, etc.

• Construction 2.0 will be evolutionary with

available technologies, such as BIM, GIS,

big data, 3D printing, drones, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), robotics & automation, supply chain management, prefabrication, etc.

55

On this count, “Industry 4.0” would be relevant, as it is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres, and it is marked by emerging technology breakthroughs in a number of fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, the Internet of Things, fifth-generation wireless technologies (5G), additive manufacturing/3D printing, fully autonomous vehicles etc.

On another dimension, with human-centric and in addressing social sustainability, we can also make reference to “Society 5.0” advocated by Japan.

It is defined as “a human-centred society that balances economic advancement with the resolution of social problems by a system that highly integrates cyberspace and physical space”. Source: Cabinet Office, Government of Japan

In Society 5.0, a huge amount of information from sensors in physical space is accumulated in cyberspace. In cyberspace, this big data is analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI), and the analysis results are fed back to humans in physical space in various forms.

Source: Cabinet Office, Government of Japan

In the past information society, the common practice was to collect information via the network and have it analyzed by humans. In Society 5.0, however, people, things, and systems are all connected in cyberspace and optimal results obtained by AI exceeding the capabilities of humans are fed back to physical space. This process brings new value to industry and society in ways not previously possible.
