October 22nd, 2015The Building Internet of Things – How will it affect our Buildings and our Business?
This white paper was written by Terry Casey of Intellastar. We will be holding a Webinar Q&A with Terry tomorrow, discussing the Building Internet of Things and the Future of Smart Buildings. Introduction We are hearing a lot about the Internet of Things, how there will be huge growth in Connected Devices, how everything with […]
A Growth Spurt for Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems
A 2013 Memoori Report outlined that one of the main drivers for interfacing and integrating Smart Grid with Smart Buildings is to take advantage of distributed energy that is available in the many hundreds of thousands of smart buildings and industrial sites around the world. It stated that this development should be achieved through energy […]
Honeywell and Tata Launch Automated Demand Response Project in Delhi
Last week Honeywell and Tata Power Delhi Distribution (TPDDL) announced that they have successfully implemented the first ever, automated demand response (ADR) project for commercial and industrial facilities in India. TPDDL is using Honeywell technology and services to link more than 160 buildings in its distribution network, and require temporary reductions in energy use when […]

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; […]
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 […]
Transactive Energy Markets will Drive Distributed Power
We have previously discussed how distributed power is gradually becoming a serious part of the new business model for Smart Grid and explored the reasons why common sense is now starting to change regulatory powers. We highlighted how in Germany the utilities are coming together with owners of distributed energy to invest in major distributed […]
