Across my Desk |

Every month there is a blizzard of information contained in the emails and newsletters that cross my desk on their way to AutomatedBuildings.com. Some of this information is not in the form of any type of content we can publish but I feel I should share with you these snippets, blog bits, and url links that are about to fall off my desktop.

EVO Energy View Online
EVO is a web hosted service that allows you to take control of your
costs by providing the information you need to understand how your
organization uses energy. Armed with that understanding, you can then
take steps to reduce costs through implementing conservation measures,
investing in more efficient equipment, or participating in new pricing
or load curtailment programs.

White Paper: ISA100 and Wireless Standards Convergence--Download now ISA100 is a major standards initiative managed by the International
Society of Automation (ISA). In addition to standards development, a
new organization, the ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (WCI), is
charged with delivering compliance certification services for the work
of ISA100. The ISA100 committee establishes standards, recommended
practices, technical reports, and related information for implementing
wireless systems in the automation and control environment, with an
initial focus on the field level. Given the committee’s broad scope,
they have formed a number of working groups to pursue specific tasks.
The primary deliverable from the Committee thus far is the standard
ISA-100.11a, "Wireless Systems for Industrial Automation: Process
Control and Related Applications".
