The Future of Building Automation - "Data at the Open Intelligent Edge"

Monday, Jan. 22; 9:30 am

How does the building automation industry make the transformation that it needs to undergo? This "Getting there from here" discussion deals with the shift in thinking and action that we all have to make in order to deal with the rapid change that is upon us.

Our Autonomous Actions on the Intelligent Edge discussions have identified an immediate problem in our industry of how the transformation we all must make will occur.

We will start "the shift of thought" discussion. Please jump in and share your thoughts directly with us at our education sessions in Chicago.

Our large building automation industry needs to follow the auto industry in reinventing ourselves to look and think like the software companies we are morphing into. Who will become the new Building Data Architects and Virtual Building Software Companies of our future?

Every device manufacturer and software cloud service provider is now looking at how they can use machine self learning from their collected big data to enhance their services and provide more value. The Edge Revolution coupled with machine learning will do what the DDC revolution with programmed logic did to pneumatics. Completely replacing an industry, while providing a quantum leap in capabilities, connection, control and apparent simplification of everything. The Edge revolution uses new powerful mobile phones like edge devices purposely built for cloud communication with amazing computing power and low cost memory which is redefining our DDC systems capabilities and architecture.

How will we create value from our new found edge data and bring it back to the hive to discover new ways of providing comfort, health, satisfaction in our buildings?

A panel discussion, "Growing the Open Intelligent Edge"

Monday, Jan. 22; 1:30 pm

Intelligent Edge Computing changes machine learning's location bringing more power with an autonomous personality even closer to the edge while providing the foundation for a decentralized architecture creating machine distributed collaboration. Our Panel will provide opinion and insight to growing and connecting edge data services with the goal of self-driving buildings with greater occupant interaction.

" Success in Building Performance Data Engineering starts with having semantically tagged data models that work seamlessly from the edge to the cloud."

We will look at how the growing edge will change the whole architecture of building systems with open source / open standards.

A panel discussion, "Are Master System Integrators Becoming the New Building Data Architects?"

Tuesday, Jan 23; 9:30 am

Industry thought leaders will provide their perspectives on this concept and will then continue the discussion based on audience questions and open conversation.

Topics addressed will include: Defining an MSI and their role as service providers, how MSIs can maximize the evolving intelligent edge, unlocking the power of people to generate new data, strategies to accomplish working data designs, embracing online convergence to achieve valuable end results, and more.

Some discussion on evolving roles ‘big data’ engineers and ‘building performance data engineers.’

A panel discussion, "How will we create value from our new found edge data and bring it back to the hive to discover new ways of providing comfort, health, satisfaction in our buildings?"

Tuesday Jan 23; 1:30 pm

Each industry thought leader will provide their views on:

Productivity, Occupant Engagement, and Comfort. If we only consider energy as the justification then we are missing the bigger issue – the impact on the building environment and ultimately people.
