Smart Building Analytics for Retail Property Portfolios
Retail environments are evolving fast. From major shopping centres to lifestyle precincts, operators are expected to deliver high-quality shopper experiences while reducing energy costs and meeting ESG requirements. Diverse tenancy schedules, high traffic volumes, and ageing shared systems create a uniquely complex operating landscape.
The pressure to optimise is increasing—but the tools to manage it haven’t kept up. Centre managers must ensure comfort and uptime across HVAC, lighting, vertical transport, and amenities, while asset owners look for reliable data to benchmark performance and support sustainability reporting. Bueno helps close the gap with data-driven insights that make retail portfolios easier to run and improve.
