HVAC is one of the foundational systems in a building. Managing a comfortably conditioned environment in a facility is critical to the occupant’s experience and remains at the top of the priority list. These critical systems have evolved from standalone analog systems to an important part of the smart, connected building ecosystem. Access to critical data, command and control, integration with other systems, and cybersecurity all play into the capabilities of an IP-centric intelligent building ecosystem. HVAC manufacturers are seeing the benefits of a more networked approach to their equipment. This session will be led by the industries’ most respected thought leaders who will provide insight into the most recent advancements in HVAC.
Joe started with this interview for our magazine in our May issue
Connecting to the Enterprise We are going to host a session at Realcomm. What are you going to discuss? - Joseph Aamidor, Senior Product Management Consultant / Managing Director, Aamidor Consulting
Added by Joe May 29 a few others topics of discussion:
- new business models: as-a-service, service marketplaces (this fits in with the Harbor piece) Also, we're seeing growth in workflow solutions: integrating data/analytics with existing work and productivity solutions
- focus on outcomes, not just data: automation vs dashboards (also fits in with some themes you already list, so maybe this just gets added to an existing point?
- Talent shortage: can technology help mitigate? Moreover, the changing content of many jobs, based on technology, and if technology might attract more employees.
- HVAC as health enabler: air recirculation, filters, etc (Daikin has bought three filter manufacturers, for example)
- M+A activity starting and will
continue: big and small - UTC spinoff, smaller acquisitions by Siemens,
Trane, etc… That's leading to a new competitive landscape - not just
the HVAC OEMs and smaller suppliers/offerings, but a variety of other
platform players - as noted in the Harbor piece.
These are some of the directions Ken will go but will keep learning right up till show time.
HVAC
Devices sharing all their information with the User experience "UX"
using device-less interfaces voice, video, present detection etc
Immediate real-time feedback to HVAC

Evolving std in our
industry BACnet, Haystack plus now evolving IoT standards
IoT
Standards: The End Game - With all these standards around, what
should I choose? Zigbee®, Thread, Bluetooth®, or Wi-Fi technology? Or
maybe LoRa™? Or is it better to wait for 5G and NB-IoT?

A great peek into
how "Open" our future will be
Open Software, Open
Hardware, and Open Minds
On our journey to people-powered buildings described in my never-ending
stories, I have talked about "Building Whisperers" and "Building Better
Building Bots Mindfully" and in our September chapter, we conclude that
the most important component of the open movement is opening our minds
while growing them younger.
Automated Intelligence With Autonomous Interactions
Our
industry is on a journey towards Automated Intelligence and that, for
now, is the AI we are talking about, along with its interlocking AI,
Autonomous Interaction.
Building Edge-Bots That Will Learn Emotion It
was great to get feedback on the excitement of the potential mash-up of
a physical fixed asset and its emotional contents creating the new
Building Emotion identity.
Building an awesome UX
Whether you view “building” as a noun or a verb, we as an industry
need to create Awesome User Experiences.

Today,
the vast majority of commercial buildings tend to lack this
infrastructure and the reason has largely been due to cost.
Owner-funded solutions are expensive capital outlays and often
unreliable. Carrier-funded solutions are a rarity and do nothing to
ensure multiple carriers are supported inside the building. Airwavz set
out early to figure out how to reduce costs and get all carriers
connected.
This is interesting take by Glenn @
HarbourResearch
Hardware OEMs literally have no choice but to embrace the creation of
code. The questions are: How, where, and to what ends?
