Speakers

Nico Lomas is a Principal Technology Consultant at WSP within the Building Technology Systems team, bringing a unique dual perspective shaped by his extensive engineering consultancy background and experience at WiredScore where he co-established their Accredited Solutions framework.

With comprehensive involvement across RIBA stages 1 through 7, he has delivered smart building solutions for high-profile projects including Argent Related, Red Sea Development, Paddington Square, and multiple global banking clients. His expertise spans building automation, system architecture design, and data integration, with particular strength in addressing the complex protocol challenges that existing buildings present, such as navigating legacy twisted pair infrastructure and communication standards like BACnet MS/TP versus modern IP and MQTT protocols. Currently focused on global-scale delivery for multiple large banking and finance clients, he collaborates extensively with Master System Integrators to achieve data integration aligned with UDMI, BDNS, and DBO standards.

As an established industry speaker, participating at CISCO roundtables, conferences, and Smart Building keynote presentations, he advocates that successful smart building retrofits require a comprehensive governing strategy that connects all business stakeholders and ensures proper communication across design teams from project inception through operational delivery.
