17 It’s Alive! No More Dead Data

Reanimating buildings with living, owner-run data. Kimon Onuma and Cyril Verley crack open why “living” planning beats glossy shelfware master plans. Fresh from Tradeline, they map how to turn a static master plan into an owner-run data product: across assets/spaces/projects, you can actually query. They lay out a simple governance cadence, explain how to rewrite RFPs (“No Dead Data”), and share real wins and pitfalls—from brochureware masquerading as living master plans to examples where live sensor/BIM data finally flows.
