👏 Thanks to AutomatedBuildings for featuring our very own Lauren Scott's insights on the smart building industry’s role in the $5.6B wellness sector, and the pivotal role of Gen Z and millennials in this opportunity! “Yes, we’re focused on making buildings more energy efficient, however, we are also focused on making the built experience as healthy as possible. And why is this important? Because so much of the wellness industry is just a little moment in time. So, it might be a one-hour workout; it might be a quick supplement; it might be a red-light treatment for 20 minutes. However, we spend 90% of our time indoors, so the quality of that experience has a huge impact on our wellness.”, Lauren states.
