Education Sessions AHR Expo Las Vegas
www.AutomatedBuildings.com 18th year of Free Education Sessions

Overall theme of all sessions; Productivity the Power of People

We have provided a link to resources, after each speakers name, to provide insight and an idea of the depth and direction of these Industry Thought Leaders.

The education sessions were extremely well attended. In fact the first session over filled the room and several folks were turned away. We have added a link to the PDF of each power point for each session listed below. The last session did not use power points. In this session each speaker provided a five minute overview, this was captured on video by ControlTrends. We will link to the video when available. We used the power points as wallpaper only. They do not have any actual content of what was talked about, but insight can be achieved by reading the linked article of each of the presenters plus my last year of editorials listed below contains most of what was discussed. Sedona Framework - Opportunity for Open Control has more detailed information in the power points.

Sedona Framework - Opportunity for Open Control

Mon. January 30| 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM | N239

Sedona Framework is an open control technology designed to assist system integrators in quickly implementing IP-based building automation programs. Using a drag-and-drop programming methodology, components are interconnected onto a wire sheet and configured to create applications.  Originally developed by Tridium, the technology is now championed by a dedicated Sedona community of developers and integrators striving to make Sedona an open control language free of licenses and available to all.  This session provides a quick introduction to the Sedona language; an overview of the free programming tool; experiences from a systems integrator implementing common HVAC applications; and plans for a Sedona Alliance. Moderator; Ken Sinclair Founder, Owner, Publisher AutomatedBuildings.com
