Smart buildings have emerged as a critical enabler of hybrid work. Through IoT sensors, automation, and connected digital infrastructure, they transform offices from static spaces into responsive environments that adapt to how people actually work. 

You don’t have to take our word for it, either. The clearest sign that these were the biggest trends of 2025 came directly from the facility and workplace leader community, through what you voted for, what you clicked, and what resonated most as the industry navigated unprecedented change. 

Organizations that succeed in this process understand their space planning software stakeholders early and involve them intentionally throughout the evaluation. Those who don’t often encounter stalled implementations, late objections, or software that never reaches full adoption. 

Converging challenges, tight budgets, rising backlogs, utilization mandates, and RTO compliance, aren’t going away. Facility managers who act now, though, can turn regulatory pressure into strategic advantage.
