#2 BAS Has Gone IP! MSI Best Practices – OT Networks DEPLOYED 11:00am to 12:00pm:
https://youtu.be/yUg7KMb_UwQ
BAS has gone IP! What does it mean for network architecture going forward?
Systems
Integrators configure, connect, and integrate the controls and systems
integral to building operations. In the past decade, their role has
evolved beyond just controlling the BMS to one that now involves
distinguishing & converging IT and operational technology. Bridging
the gap between these two worlds is no small task given the widely
disparate cultural and technology requirements.
Hear
from our panelists of systems integrators, engineers, and end users
eager to discuss recent projects from the summer, including designs
with all-IP controllers, and the evolution of system architectures, new
challenges faced, and new successes achieved along the way.

#3 The Role of Data in Achieving Smarter Buildings - and Haystack's Role in Making Data Interoperable 12:30pm to 1:00pm:
The Role of Data in Achieving Smarter Buildings: Making Data Interoperable with Haystack
Data
has become a critical asset for the built environment. When captured,
normalized, tagged, and analyzed, data can enable a true transformation
on how we manage and operate our facilities. Accessing and making
effective use of data from existing operational systems is a critical
element of all smart building initiatives.
Today's
increased access to data from equipment systems and a new generation of
IoT devices presents new opportunities to improve the efficiency and
sustainability of our facilities, however, having access to data is
only the first step in making meaningful use of it. Capturing the
meaning of our data and representing that meaning in a uniform way is
the key to deriving benefit from facility and equipment data.
John
Petze, Executive Director and Marc Petock, Executive Secretary of
Project Haystack discuss the use of semantic tagging and its key role
in making data interoperability across different systems and
applications. in determining what data is relevant, how to
standardize it, how to give it common context, how to streamline it to
unlock the data’s true value and how it enables a true transformation
on the way we manage and operate buildings. The presentation will also
provide an update on the latest work of the Project-Haystack.org.

#4 Coalition for Smarter Buildings 1:30pm to 3:00pm:
Coalition for Smarter Buildings
The
Coalition for Smarter Buildings (C4SB at c4sb.org) is a newly formed
organization of building technology thought leaders advocating for the
broad deployment of smarter buildings as part of the Biden
administration's climate, infrastructure, and workforce agenda. The
coalition is now working with key Federal and state agencies and many
non-government organizations in the industry to create a set of
targeted education and tools to ensure consistent and effective
deployment of smart technologies in public and private commercial
buildings across the U.S.
In
this session, founding members of the coalition will provide details of
the coalition’s work to date, and its plans for 2022. Specifically, the
panel will present the following:
The
Smarter Stack, an open-source communication tool that models the
products, technologies and companies working to deliver smarter
buildings at scale.
Div
2525 Specification, an open-source and comprehensive Division 25
specification for building projects of all sizes and types. The panel
will present a draft version of this work for comments.
A vision of a System-of-System approach for the future of interoperable smart building systems.
A
new approach for how smarter building technologies can be procured by
building owners, focusing on benefits during operation rather than just
first-cost.
A
comprehensive plan to develop skills necessary for the growing
workforce required for the deployment of smarter building technologies
at scale.
This
is a not-to-be-missed session for professionals wanting to grow their
smart building business, owners who want to specify and procure
future-proof smart technology, and vendors wanting to deliver the right
products to tap into the massive market being created by the timely
Federal focus on smarter buildings.

#4 Smart Women, Smarter Buildings
Smart Women, Smarter Buildings
2:00pm to 3:00pm:
What
can be done to attract and retain more women as part of the shift
toward data-driven, intelligent buildings? As buildings become more
high-tech, how does our industry take steps to champion more gender
equality and advance more women into leadership and mentorship
positions? Our panel features women of diverse ages and roles in the
smart building industry discussing the status quo and planning a way
forward.
With
women making up close to 50% of the population using buildings, why is
it that women working with Smart Buildings comprise just a small
percentage of the industry? What can be done to attract and retain more
women as part of the shift toward data-driven, intelligent buildings?
As buildings become more high-tech, how can both the men and women of
our industry take steps to champion more gender equality and advance
more women into leadership and mentorship positions? Attendees will
enjoy our panel discussion and hearing from women of diverse ages and
roles
Pulling
More Women into the Ranks of Smart Buildings Leadership Therese
Sullivan and panelists, Gina Elliott, Kimberly Brown, Erin Defrieze and
more to be announced
Privacy,
cyber-security, health, there is so much at stake in our smart building
industry, it just makes sense that you want a diverse selection of
people making decisions about how our technology is evolving. The
people that work, learn, shop, eat, live and heal in built spaces are
of all types. Shouldn’t our industry reflect that? Yet, women
working in Building Automation and HVAC Controls comprise just a small
percentage of the industry. Why is this? And, what can be done to
attract and retain more women as part of the big paradigm shift toward
data-driven, intelligent buildings?
There
will be a time in this session for making comparisons and exploring the
status quo in our industry. But, more than that, let’s come together
and plan a way forward. As buildings become more high-tech, how
can both the men and women of our industry take steps to champion more
gender equality and advance more women into leadership and mentorship
positions? You’ll enjoy our panel discussion and hearing from women of
diverse ages and roles.
