Our December theme Connecting Communities speaks about the many new communities that building automation now is part of. Last month our focus was on how building automation is turning green and we have more articles with great examples on how visualization thru graphics can allow Buildings to  “Come to Life” and Teach Occupants about Sustainability. We have an article that examines the human perception of dashboards and the requirement of a standard to communicate a consistent message.

In addition this month we explore connections to several other communities such as access control, video surveillance, elevators, mobile technology and Web-based facility management.  Even an article on how to find actionable information.  We even provide some insight into new procurement models with transactional distribution.

Of course our quest to find the true meaning of "Open" continues with Linkedin interaction online and is part of our education sessions at AHRExpo. 

December is also our show issue for AHRExpo 2012 Chicago which provides connection to the ASHRAE, HVAC, BACnet, LonMark and the many other communities who will be there.
