The BAS Professional’s Role: Driving Decarbonization Strategies in a Changing World

Decarbonization is reshaping the energy management landscape, creating new opportunities and challenges for BAS professionals. From electrification and energy optimization to industry collaboration, the path to a low-carbon future is complex but full of potential. By embracing this transformation, BAS professionals can play a pivotal role in driving sustainable solutions and shaping the future of smart building design. The time to act is now—decarbonization is not just the future; it’s the present.

Who Controls the Cheese? A Discussion on Change in the Smart Building Industry

The cheese is moving! We’re seeing a shift in the way the younger generation thinks. They’re no longer looking for a single-walled garden vendor to control access to content, applications, hardware, and user data. They’re all about composability and being in control of their own destiny.

Embracing Change and Riding the Rollercoaster

As we reflect back on the twists and turns of 2024 and face 2025 with its new variables and uncertainties, it’s helpful to take a step back and examine the bigger picture, especially our mindset. Life is a dynamic, ever-shifting landscape. We experience periods of stability and success, often followed by unforeseen challenges and setbacks. These fluctuations, the inevitable peaks and valleys of our existence, can be both exhilarating and daunting. But what if we could learn not just to survive these changes but to actually thrive amidst them? We are not merely passive recipients of fate but active participants who can learn from both success and failure to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

How Electric Vehicles are Shaping the Future of Smart Buildings

The rise of EVs is deeply influencing the design, cost, and environmental impact of smart buildings. EV integration not only requires new design considerations like charging infrastructure and energy storage systems but also offers significant benefits, such as reduced carbon emissions, enhanced energy efficiency, and cost savings over time. Additionally, as the synergy between EVs and smart buildings deepens, the future holds the promise of more sustainable, energy-efficient, and self-sufficient buildings that contribute positively to the global energy transition.
