Audio: What’s Better in a Smart Building World?

For those who missed it or want to listen again, below is the Audio Stream from our 7th Free Webinar in the 2016 Smart Buildings Series, sponsored by Tridium

What’s Better in a Smart Building World? The Buildings Internet of Things is rapidly changing the Building Management game as we know it. This is a Q&A Webinar with Aaron Lapsley, Vice President of Global Engineering Services at Switch Automation.

In this Webinar, we take a comprehensive look at some of the advantages of investing in Smart Building.

  • The BIoT movement has become a little obsessed with flooding our buildings with sensors and consequently amassing huge amounts of data. However, without the capability to process, understand and use that data it is essentially useless and costly. That is not to say that collecting data with the intention to process and use it in the future is not worthwhile, but this does not need to be done all at once as one of the great benefits of the BIoT is scalability.
  • The traditional BMS falls well short in user experience. A truly Smart Building platform must ensure greater interaction and collaboration between stakeholders. It is all these elements combined that will bring about a revolution in building management, far beyond simple energy efficiency, and nowhere will that be more evident than in the enterprise.
