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.
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.

Squeeze More Performance Out of Equipment You Already Have Using AI-agents Last week we introduced the Automated Buildings partnership with facil.aiWhat can facil.ai do for
What is facil.ai? Facil.ai is a collection of AI-agents trained for building performance optimization (specifically central plant chillers, portfolio rooftop units, refrigeration systems, and air-handler
Remember when Flight Simulator was THE benchmark for PC performance? We need that defining moment for open software in smart buildings! Why? Because open software unlocks HUGE potential for building owners and operators:
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.
The phrase “integrating interoperable systems” might seem contradictory at first glance. After all, if systems are truly interoperable, shouldn’t they seamlessly work together within an SoS without requiring additional integration? While this logic holds, the reality is more complex.
With urbanization driving the development of dense downtown cores, building maintenance has become increasingly challenging. Among the most demanding tasks is keeping high-rise windows and
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.
