The Smart Buildings Center is excited to host the 5th annual Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) in 2025! This year’s event builds on a successful history of exploring smart and efficient building operations—but it’s not just more of the same.
SBX 2025 invites attendees to think bigger. This year’s focus is on how smart building strategies can solve today’s real-world challenges—like cutting operational costs, reducing peak energy use, and retrofitting fossil fuel-based equipment with heat pumps. For those navigating the evolving demands of building ownership, operations, and energy management, SBX 2025 offers a space to explore practical solutions while also engaging with the bold ideas shaping the future.
The fall conference theme, “Smart Buildings in Action: Leading the Future of Building Performance,” reflects our region’s growing leadership in reimagining the role of buildings—not just as energy users, but as dynamic assets that influence everything from grid interaction and occupant well-being to cost management, security, and building resilience.
SBX 2025 features both a virtual webinar series and an in-person event:
- The webinar series, held in the months leading up to the conference, dives into practical applications and real-world examples of smart building technologies and solutions.
Register for the webinar series!
- The in-person conference, to be held on November 5th in downtown Seattle, will bring together regional and national leaders for thought-provoking discussions on the big ideas—exploring where we’re headed, what’s needed to accelerate progress, and how the Pacific Northwest fits into the national and global landscape.
