Lighting Controls Supply Side Structure & Distribution Channels Need to Undergo Major Surgery
March 28th, 2014Will LED Lighting Controls Open the Door to The Internet of Things in Buildings?
February 10th, 2014Why 2014 is a Good Time to be in the Lighting Controls Business
Network based lighting controls have failed to gain much traction over the last 5 years despite the benefits that they can deliver for improving operating costs and reducing CO2 emissions. So why will the influx of LED lighting into the commercial building market open up new opportunities for controls? This is now the most exciting […]
Energy Conservation through Smart Buildings and Smart Cities will take Centre Stage in 2014
There is an old Irish joke in which a traveller asks for directions to Limerick and is told that, ‘well you wouldn’t want to be starting from here!’ That is the major problem facing the CleanTech industry today. Capital intensive renewable power projects are now at a place where governments around the world are delaying […]
Who Will Win the Energy Management Software Business for Smart Buildings?
We have just published our second report analyzing the fast growing market for Energy Management Software in Smart Buildings and together with its “sister” report which focused on interfacing Smart Buildings with Smart Grid they confirm beyond any shadow of doubt that together they will play the critical role in reducing CO2 emissions from buildings […]
Smart Building Synergy Through Building Energy Management Systems & Enterprise Energy Management Software
Both Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) and Enterprise Energy Management (EEM) have major parts to play in delivering Distributed Energy and Demand Response services connecting across Smart Buildings and Smart Grid. This reinforces that together they can also reach across associated applications. This must be synergy personified. Integrating the technical services in buildings is not […]

The Future Impact of Machine Learning & Predictive Analysis on Building Energy Management
Continuing our series of articles on Innovation we recently talked to Mike Zimmerman, Founder of BuildingIQ, about the approaching 3rd Step change in Building Energy Management (BEMS) technology. The 1st step change in BEMS technology was of course the move to DDC controls. Since then we have seen a 2nd wave of innovation in analytics; […]
The Impact of LED Lighting on the BEMS Industry
There is a discussion now taking place in the Smart Building business that the transition to LED lighting may trigger a change in the way the BEMS industry works. The rationale goes that historically, building controls applications have been HVAC-centric since that was the element of the building where controls could add significant value. In […]
Interfacing Smart Buildings with Smart Grid Provides the Most Practical and Cost Effective Solution for Reducing CO2 Emissions from Buildings
If governments across the developed world went ahead and created the necessary incentives for the investment needed to develop a Smart Grid and Renewable Power over the next 17 years, to meet the mandatory or proposed CO2 emission standards, they would almost certainly be committing political suicide. The trillions of dollars required would thwart economic […]
