March.........“Making the Invisible Visible”
Our March theme “Making
the Invisible Visible” is about how do we as an industry depict our
invisible cornerstones of comfort, energy, and environmental
impact? How can we best show what cannot be seen: Temperature?,
Comfort?, Electricity?, Performance?, and the necessary information to
maintain all. We now have amazing anywhere graphics that can
morph into real time digital signage to take our message to the world,
but have we truly thought about what we will say? Our powerful
far reaching real time network connections transport the invisible
via the cloud but it is the graphics and their dashboards
representations that convert the Invisible to Visible. This is the
place where art, science, and communication meet while the world
watches. As an industry we have never before had the opportunity to
lead, but from our past obscurity we are becoming very visible everywhere.
I am pleased with our March issue as all our many authors have provided diverse insight on how to make our invisible visible.

February........ Building Automation and Web
Services?
Is Building Automation
rapidly evolving its Web Services? Our past issues have talked
about our anywhereness and Interrogating Information 4 Integration. If you couple
this with this month's articles and the interview it all points to the
rapid transition by our industry to use web services that are interweaved
with our traditional real time data.
From Toby's interview The Building System Interface
- Space is what the building systems support, space is what the tenants
recognize, space is where building systems deliver service. To interact
with those services, we need building services interfaces (BSI).
Jim adds; Designing An Integrated Building System
The heart of the IBS is in the integration of building systems in a way
that provides greater functionality and facilitates optimum building
operations.
Nirosha writes; Exposing Building Behaviour Using BAS
Discovering groups and structures in the data that are similar without knowing the structures of the data.
While Nino writes; Cyber-Security
For the last ten years the whole industry has been talking about IP,
Web, interoperability and open systems. Security however, has
been mostly left behind, somewhere in the pre-internet age.
Lots of other great articles. columns, and reviews that echo the theme.
