Obsolescence and Legacy Planning for Smart Building Systems

Throughout North America hospitals, universities. and office buildings infastructure is aging. Addressing the challenge of obsolescence through proactive legacy planning is essential for maximizing the value and longevity of smart building investments. By implementing these strategies before systems become outdated, building owners and operators can ensure their buildings remain at the forefront of technological innovation while minimizing disruptions and costs.

Bluetooth NLC Wants to Change the Game

In September 2023, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) released Bluetooth® NLC, a series of specifications that define roles and responsibilities for common lighting control

Meet Your Industry Associations; Fueling Our Community and Innovation

In the dynamic world of smart buildings, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Industry associations offer a valuable resource for professionals seeking to expand their knowledge, network, and business opportunities. Many newcomers, although they lack direct experience working in the BAS industry, have a strong understanding of smart technology and grew up with early home automation. The new talent we bring into the industry may also be separated by 6 degrees, highlighting the interconnectedness of our professional networks.

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.

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.
