Problem Statement
Globally Buildings consume about 40% of energy and contribute to 30% of carbon emissions. It is estimated that ~22 Trillion USD will be spent over the next 20 years to improve buildings and make them better. The building industry however is disjointed – Building Owners, Financiers, Consultants & Tech providers do not have an effective mechanism to work together and collaborate to accelerate the process of creating better buildings. This often happens because of lack of data.
BtrLyf platform is designed to be a platform to bring together different stakeholders in the built environment ecosystem and allow them to seamlessly collaborate and work together.
Business Requirements
Our Solution
We began the product journey through a discovery phase. Qi Square Team flew down to Focaloid’s offices in Kochi for a 2 day Discovery Workshop. Product Strategist, Business Analysts, UX Designers, Architects and Software Leads from Focaloid participated in the workshop together with the major stakeholders from Qi Square. The workshop included brainstorming sessions, persona definition, user journey mapping and rapid prototyping. This was followed by further analysis and documentation activities post the workshop. At the end of the discovery phase, we were able to create the product road map for the Digital Twin Platform, along with detailed user stories and feature lists. Focaloid also provided recommendations for the technology stack and architecture.
Major Features
Results / Outcome
The platform was developed and launched as scheduled. Currently the platform has the digital built environment for Singapore and will be expanding to other major cities soon. Focaloid was able to successfully hand hold the stakeholders through the product development journey and create a trusted partnership.
QiSquare was recognised in the Top 10 Energy Tech Solution Providers in APAC by CIO Magazine.
