GoTo Meeting, Link provided upon registration and payment

Tuesday, September 8th; presentation starts at 12:00 p.m.

What makes a smart building smart? Over the past decade, our industry has created a new language of how we talk about buildings. Terms like: low voltage systems, integration, internet of things, connected, big data, algorithms, and a host of others get thrown around all the time, but the definitions of these concepts is up to interpretation based on who you are talking to at the time. This presentation will give an overview of the state of the industry when it comes to “smart buildings,” what some of the goals of being “smart” are, different approaches to solving those goals, and respective challenges. Hopefully by the end of the presentation, we’ll all kind of know what each other is talking about when we say we want a “smart building.”
