Blueprint Buildings

This set of 19 projects is managed by the Smart Buildings team. This team unites public, private and academic collaborative partnerships to address key aspects in the development, operation and support of Smart Buildings within the municipal environment. These aspects may include supporting deployment of ICT technologies within the municipal environment, interoperability and integration, standards, performance metrics, data analytics and activation, operational autonomy, digital services, and skills and training.

The Smart Building Supercluster (SBSC) serves an important role in the GCTC-SC3 family of clusters as Smart Buildings, as robust connected, experience rich IoT platforms, are foundational to the creation of Smart Cities. Smart Buildings can contribute to the acceleration of smart city infrastructure deployment; enable the development and deployment of broader municipal smart applications; are a launchpad for scalable economic development; entice corporations, job seekers and entrepreneurs to bring their business to the municipality; and increase health, wellness and happiness for workers and citizens.

The technologies within Smart Buildings; the functionality they enable; how they serve municipalities, the community and myriad other stakeholders; and how these buildings integrate and interoperate within smart municipalities is still evolving and to be defined. The purpose of the SBSC is to explore, research and provide guidance with regard to these questions.

Some statistics that advocate for a Smart Buildings focus:

  • In urban settings, 87% of a day is spent inside a building
  • 80% of all mobile usage is inside a building
  • Smart buildings support sustainability and a smart sustainable building can reduce energy usage from 40% to an astounding 70%
  • In certain municipalities, office space utilization is at 48%, leaving much room for smart, flexible space utilization
  • Improved workplace design, lighting, and air quality can lead to an uplift of 30-40% in employee productivity
  • Health, wellness and productivity as supported by the workplace are key trends in corporate human resource management


Both the concept and the reality of developing a Smart Building are relatively new. There are a number of challenges and opportunities facing smart buildings. There is much to experiment with, learn and explore. The SBSC will utilize the collective capabilities of its partners to produce a series of deliverables including a Smart Buildings Blueprint, best practices, guidelines, checklists, and use cases.


SBSC’s launch objective is to create a Blueprint that will address some of these questions. Primary areas of focus at this time are:

  • Communications and Connectivity – Design, deployment and management
  • Smart Cities/Safer Buildings – Public safety that unifies efforts of real property owners and managers with municipal, regional and federal first responders
  • Organizational Productivity – For municipal and commercial organizations, and the impact that has on the design and development of real property
  • Interfacing with Municipal Services and Utilities – Includes communications networks, systems and applications within buildings and between buildings and their environment (city, town, campus)
  • Transportation – Public and private transportation, connected and autonomous, applications and infrastructure

The SBSC collaborative welcomes thought leaders and experts who wish to contribute, and any general questions and requests for information. Please contact Skopek.

Tanner Springs Park.jpg Resilience HUB - East Multnomah
Resilience Hubs are community-serving facilities augmented to support residents and coordinate resource distribution and services before, during, or after a natural hazard event. They leverage established, trusted, and community-managed facilities that are used year-round as neighborhood centers for community-building activities. Resilience Hubs can equitably enhance community resilience while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving local quality of life for our communities. They have the potential to reduce burden on local emergency response teams, improve access to public health initiatives, increase the effectiveness of community-centered institutions and programs.
Resiliance Hubs.jpg Resilience HUB - NIST Guide
Natural, technological, and human-caused hazards take a high toll on communities, but the costs in lives, livelihoods and quality of life can be reduced by better managing disaster risks. Planning and implementing prioritized measures can strengthen resilience and improve a community's abilities to continue or restore vital services in a more timely way, and to build back better after damaging events. That makes them better prepared for future events and more attractive to businesses and residents alike.

Regenerative Urbanism 600.png Inventing the Platform and Path to Sustainability Success
Regenerative urbanism creates a balance where buildings, their occupants and the surrounding systems, both natural and man-made, work together to create resources rather than deplete them. Research shows that the integration of regenerative elements can yield greater returns over time. This approach uses dynamic governance systems to monitor and share the costs and benefits of urban life. It allows for multiple objectives to be achieved, from managing water and reusing waste biproducts to optimizing renewable resources across compact communities in new ways.
