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 Future of Smart Buildings: Staying Hungry for Innovation in a Connected World

As we move forward, let’s stay hungry for innovation, embrace new technologies, and collaborate across disciplines. The future of smart buildings is bright, and by working together, we can create spaces that are not only efficient and sustainable but also truly enhance the lives of those who inhabit them.

By leveraging AI-powered tools and embracing digital maturity, businesses can unlock new levels of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability in the built environment.

Leveraging AI for Efficiency and Innovation in the Built Environment

AI is not just a buzzword in the construction and building management industry – it’s a transformative force. By leveraging AI-powered tools and embracing digital maturity, businesses can unlock new levels of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability in the built environment.

Driving Forces of Change for Smarter Buildings

The future of smart buildings hinges on our ability to embrace collaboration, invest in our workforce, and leverage technology to solve real-world problems. By focusing on people and prioritizing outcomes over individual technologies, we can create a more sustainable and efficient built environment.

Decarbonization is Booming, But BAS is Critical for Success

Decarbonization is Booming, But BAS is Critical for Success

The decarbonization movement is here to stay, changing how we design, operate, and maintain buildings. The BAS is critical to the success of this transition, and BAS professionals who can deliver comprehensive solutions will be in high demand. By embracing this opportunity and adapting to the changing landscape, we can help create a more sustainable future for the built environment.

Occupancy Controls

Occupancy-Based Controls: The Smarter Way to Energy Efficiency and Comfort

Occupancy-based controls are a powerful tool for transforming buildings into intelligent and responsive spaces. By leveraging advanced technologies and data analytics, OBCs optimize energy consumption, enhance occupant comfort, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Embracing OBCs is not just a smart choice, it’s a responsible one, paving the way for a greener and more efficient world.

The significance of Linux in the smart building industry

The adoption of Linux can potentially disrupt the traditional procurement model in the building industry, which has long been dominated by the “thousand dollar per point” mentality. By offering a more cost-effective and flexible alternative, Linux could encourage a shift towards value-based procurement, focusing on outcomes and performance rather than proprietary hardware costs.

Reimagining Smart Buildings: The Case for Breaking Down Silos

In a lively July 2024 discussion on Monday Live, industry experts delved into the complexities of integrating building silos, exploring the potential of various applications and the challenges of interoperability. The conversation centered on creating a matrix to assess the relevance of different building systems for various applications, sparking debate about the scoring system and revealing the vast, untapped potential of integrated building data. The discussion highlighted the need for open, accessible data and affordable integration solutions to drive innovation and ultimately transform the smart building landscape.

Integrating Building Silos: A Deep Dive into Data and Use Cases

This post explores the challenges and opportunities of integrating various building systems, or “silos,” to achieve greater efficiency and functionality. It emphasizes the importance of understanding use cases and user requirements to unlock the value of data generated by these systems. By focusing on specific use cases and establishing standards for data exchange, the building industry can move towards a more integrated and efficient ecosystem, benefiting tenants, operations teams, and asset managers alike. The TXO (Total Cost of Ownership) framework provides a useful tool for prioritizing investments in data integration and maximizing financial benefits.
