A survey of 154 professionals attending the organized by 天美传媒 Industry Meetings, suggests that sustainability and energy efficiency throughout operations and projects are top priorities for companies, ranked No. 1 by around 35% of respondents. The next priority (for 28% of respondents) was digitalization to improve operational efficiency, followed by adapting spaces to new forms of in-person and remote working, and personalizing customer experience through emerging technologies and innovative solutions (both at 13%).听

According to the meeting鈥檚 academic director, Carles Vergara, 鈥淭he results show a trend toward digitalization and sustainability as strategic priorities, while personalization and adaptation to hybrid work are seen as important but less urgent.鈥�

Vergara also presented findings from new research that shows that house values rise an average of 1.3% for each improved rung on the ladder of greater energy efficiency.听听听

The same survey also reveals the role AI is playing in transforming the industry. 鈥�Most commonly, it is being used for operational optimization, data-driven decision-making and service personalization,鈥� Vergara says. 鈥淭here is still limited use in transforming the role of real estate agents. The fact that 28% of companies 诲辞苍鈥檛 use AI at all suggests 迟丑别谤别鈥檚 a lot of potential to increase adoption and take advantage of the opportunities AI offers.鈥� 听听
