How Electric Vehicles are Shaping the Future of Smart Buildings

Kelly Sinclair December 19, 2024

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.

Is “Open” the Key to Software Eating Buildings?

Kelly Sinclair November 15, 2024

The journey towards “software-eating buildings” is paved with the bricks of openness. By embracing open standards, protocols, data, and development practices, the building automation industry can unlock new levels of innovation and value for building owners.

Why BAS Must Embrace System-of-Systems to Thrive in a Software-Defined World

Kelly Sinclair November 1, 2024

The future of building automation lies in embracing SoS. By fostering interoperability, data sharing, and a software-centric mindset, we can create truly intelligent buildings that meet the evolving needs of owners and occupants. It’s time for the BAS industry to step up and lead the charge.

What are your thoughts on SoS and the future of BAS?

A System-Centric Design for Digital Twin Interoperability

Kelly Sinclair October 22, 2024

The Digital Twin System Interoperability Framework white paper outlines key concepts and considerations for achieving interoperability in digital twin systems. It emphasizes a system-centric design approach, where everything is viewed as a system, enabling normalized processes and a common metamodel for inherent interoperability.

The Open Source Revolution: Why Industries Are Collaborating Like Never Before

Kelly Sinclair October 1, 2024

Open source is no longer a niche concept. It’s a powerful driver of innovation across all industries. By embracing open collaboration, companies can overcome challenges, reduce costs, and unlock new opportunities for growth. As the Linux Foundation continues to expand its support for open-source communities, we can expect to see even more transformative changes in the years to come. One of the most exciting aspects of this open-source revolution is the cross-pollination of ideas and best practices across different industries. For example, the energy sector is learning from the successes of the telecom industry in adopting open source for grid modernization and the integration of renewable energy sources.

Takeaways from London’s PropTech Connect

David Gallagher September 13, 2024

At PropTech Connect in London, the European real estate tech market showcased similarities to North America in terms of technology, but with a greater emphasis on ESG, sustainability, and human-centered approaches. In this post, I share my impressions and takeaways of the European digital building market.

Obsolescence and Legacy Planning for Smart Building Systems

Kelly Sinclair September 12, 2024

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.
