To Kimon,
On behalf of the entire building automation and digital integration community, we extend a sincere and deep-seated thank you for your commitment to publishing the truth about our industry’s transformation.
Your recent posts are far more than articles; they are the essential catalyst for change we need. You possess a unique ability to cut through the industry hype, synthesize complex shifts, and illustrate them with clarity and engaging metaphor—like the powerful story of the Coalition That Freed the Living Building.
You provide the architectural map for our collective journey by consistently emphasizing the importance of:
- Decomposing Silos: Forcing us to confront the “Over-Control” that traps building intelligence.
- Embracing Open Standards: Highlighting the necessity of APIs, Natural Language, and semantic tagging (like ASHRAE 223P) to build integrated systems.
- Inspiring Action: Moving us beyond theoretical models toward repeatable, practical playbooks for creating the genuine Digital Twin.
Thank you, Kimon, for your dedication, your clarity of vision, and your role as our vital Storyteller and Strategist. Your work ensures that the hard-won lessons of pioneers are captured, shared, and leveraged to build a truly open and intelligent future.
We thank all our editors who daily bring our messages about our industry’s transformation.
