Moda and Utopi. The perfect pairing...
A Moda milestone
You know we’re all about wellbeing and high tech… are you ready for the next step? We've announced a partnership with innovative technology start-up Utopi.
Why? To build a complete digital infrastructure, and optimise smart building technology across Moda’s entire development portfolio. Prop tech at it's finest.
Positioning us as the first truly vertically integrated, tech-enabled build-to-rent company. throw hands in the air
What it means
This industry-leading collaboration will improve building operations and the sustainability of all Moda neighbourhoods.
How? By identifying any problems with energy consumption, faulty maintenance equipment, and systems amongst others, ahead of time. another hands up
Utopi’s digital infrastructure blueprint designs will utilise a combination of technologies to automate building management.
The IoT multi-sensor will be installed throughout Moda’s neighbourhoods. Measuring humidity, temperature, CO2, light, noise, motion and occupancy, creating a wellness score. The sensors will automatically respond to adjust the environment to exercise real-time control of air-conditioning, security, and lighting systems, optimising the space for residents and saving money on energy costs. Winning.
**Pretty impressive right? **
The main benefit of Utopi’s technology is the live nature of data capture. Instant alerts will ensure that any maintenance and utility issues are resolved efficiently or prevented entirely. A defective air-conditioning unit or contaminated tap is usually only detected at the next routine service visit. However, with remote dashboard monitoring displays, real-time data allows management to identify issues at a much earlier stage. Some systems employing machine learning to automatically adjust and redefine maintenance plans!
Utopi’s building management system will increase the lifespan of the costly appliances they serve, near eliminating disruptive maintenance work, benefitting both Moda and the experience of our residents... The whole Moda family.
It will also contribute, in the long run, to the sustainability of every Moda development and ultimately, its portfolio performance.
