Good Bye 2016  We can say that 2016 was an even bigger year for Internet of Things (IoT), something that is not particularly special. The year had bring good Internet of Things stories, and news, but we are far to reach the expectations.

Sensible Building Science is developing a solution that provides virtualized real-time occupancy sensing for commercial building control. No motion detectors, no video cameras, no physical sensors whatsoever.  You already have the data, we help you use it sensibly and make your buildings smart.

CrowdComfort crowdsources occupant and building information to improve efficiency and service levels for a wide range of facility management functions. With our SaaS-based communication platform, building and facility occupants can file geo-located reports with photo evidence on comfort, maintenance, and safety issues in a matter of seconds. Our application streamlines incident reporting, preventative maintenance checklists and analytical reporting, saving facility management teams time and money.

Let's start with some quick definitions. Blockchain is the technology that enables the existence of cryptocurrency (among other things). Bitcoin is the name of the best-known cryptocurrency, the one for which blockchain technology was invented. A cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange, such as the US dollar, but is digital and uses encryption techniques to control the creation of monetary units and to verify the transfer of funds.

Fun stuff 4 sure I ordered a set to play with :) Basically, they're bricks that safely conduct electricity and connect to your phone to enable you to do all sorts of cool things with your designs.  And no, you don't need to buy a whole new set, because they're used interchangeably with your favourite building blocks to add an element of interactive awesomeness.  Points out how simple this can all be in an IoT Lego Block world plus the value of a standard blocks and mobile phones.  Plus ILove the way it is financed as well.

Internet of Things Infographic | What Is The "Internet of Things"?  Over the last several years, stories of the technologies making up an Internet of Things have started to slip into public consciousness. As this is occurring, we believe the whole story of Smart Systems and the Internet of Things is not being told. Many of the dispatches coming in from the “front lines” of technology innovation are but fragments of a much larger narrative.  Postscapes collaborated with Harbor Research on an infographic to tell a more complete story about the Internet of Things.  From our perspective, this story is not just about people communicating with people or machines communicating with machines. Smart, connected systems are a technological and economic phenomenon of unprecedented scale, encompassing potentially billions if not trillions of nodes -- an Internet of infinite interactions and values...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recognizes the 2013 version as the national energy reference standard. Starting October 2016, all states must have an energy code in place at least as stringent as 90.1-2013 or justify why they cannot comply. A look at EnergyCodes.gov reveals 13 states are currently in compliance.
