Kelly Sinclair

I’m fascinated by the world of automated and smarter buildings, even though I’m not an industry expert. My background is in sales, onboarding, and support, honed through years of experience at Shopify and Functionfox Systems. My connection to this industry comes from my family and my passion for learning. To contribute to the conversation, I actively research and create content based on insights from industry sponsors and the valuable resources available on AutomatedBuildings.com. It’s a constant learning process, but I’m excited to explore this evolving landscape and contribute to its growth. I look forward to connecting with our sponsors and contributors and creating a community around AutomatedBuildings.com. www.linkedin.com/in/KellyJSinclair00

The BAS Professional’s Role: Driving Decarbonization Strategies in a Changing World

Decarbonization is reshaping the energy management landscape, creating new opportunities and challenges for BAS professionals. From electrification and energy optimization to industry collaboration, the path to a low-carbon future is complex but full of potential. By embracing this transformation, BAS professionals can play a pivotal role in driving sustainable solutions and shaping the future of smart building design. The time to act is now—decarbonization is not just the future; it’s the present.

Get excited about #AHRExpo and the Smarter Summit 25!

With AHR Expo just around the corner, we’re gearing up for a week of exciting discussions about the future of buildings. This week on Monday Live, we’re previewing some of the key themes and topics that will be explored at the expo and discussed at Smarter Summit

The Interoperable Cheese Platter: A Recipe for Industry Transformation

In a recent episode of Monday Live, industry leaders convened to discuss the future of smart buildings and the role of interoperability. The conversation, inspired by the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”, focused on the concept of an “interoperable cheese platter”: a holistic solution that combines various technologies and approaches to address the evolving needs of the industry.

Who Controls the Cheese? A Discussion on Change in the Smart Building Industry

The cheese is moving! We’re seeing a shift in the way the younger generation thinks. They’re no longer looking for a single-walled garden vendor to control access to content, applications, hardware, and user data. They’re all about composability and being in control of their own destiny.

Embracing Change and Riding the Rollercoaster

As we reflect back on the twists and turns of 2024 and face 2025 with its new variables and uncertainties, it’s helpful to take a step back and examine the bigger picture, especially our mindset. Life is a dynamic, ever-shifting landscape. We experience periods of stability and success, often followed by unforeseen challenges and setbacks. These fluctuations, the inevitable peaks and valleys of our existence, can be both exhilarating and daunting. But what if we could learn not just to survive these changes but to actually thrive amidst them? We are not merely passive recipients of fate but active participants who can learn from both success and failure to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
