‘SMART’ HEALTHCARE
study has modelled the cost of official buildings’ energy conversion targets by 2040 at US $231 m in the healthcare sector. These estimates illustrate the sheer size of the investment challenge, and underline the importance of smart finance to make smart buildings transformation happen in a financially sustainable way. In a budget-constrained environment,
energy efficiency savings are increasingly seen as the ideal starting point for smart buildings transformation (either as a single investment, or as a series of incremental projects), with smart financing techniques playing a major role in enabling those future savings to finance the cost of conversion.

4 Menear H. Smart hospitals: the digital Jo Harris
Jo Harris says her passion for sales leadership can be traced back to her school days, explaining that, ‘whether selling tickets or organising events’, the reason is because she has ‘always loved making a difference’. In her role as Commercial Finance UK Sales director at Siemens Financial Services in the UK, she is able to channel this enthusiasm into her work with her customers, and her team, and ‘thrives on change and disruption’. An outspoken leader on matters of diversity and inclusion, she says she is ‘proactively involved in levelling the playing field’ in her industry. Outside the office, she can be found rowing or open water swimming, and lives in the Teme Valley in Worcestershire with her husband, and two ‘almost grown-up’ children.
