The Future of Building Automation - "The Self Learning Edge Revolution"

Monday, Jan. 30; 9 am

The future of the building automation market is exceptional.  Advanced automation will not be just some accommodation with building information technology, it will be a full embrace of IT. Systems will be smarter, innovative, and sophisticated. Systems will automatically configure and integrate new equipment where the system can optimize itself, self-manage and self-heal.

Every device manufacturer and software cloud service provider is now looking at how they can use machine self learning from their collected big data to enhance their services and provide more value. The Edge Revolution coupled with machine learning will do what the DDC revolution with programed logic did to pneumatics. Completely replacing an industry, while providing a quantum leap in capabilities, connection, control and apparent simplification of everything. The Edge revolution uses new powerful mobile phones like edge devices purposely built for cloud communication with amazing computing power and low cost memory which is redefining our DDC systems capabilities and architecture.

We will expand on last year's session in Orlando.  The possible is presently impossible without transformative change, but the map of the possible is leading rapidly to help define the change that is now required everywhere in our industry.

Sedona Framework – Best Opportunity for Open Control

Monday, January 30; 10:30am – 11:30am room N239

Sedona Framework is an open control technology designed to assist system integrators in quickly implementing IP-based building automation programs. Using a drag-and-drop programming methodology, components are interconnected onto a wire sheet and configured to create applications.  Originally developed by Tridium, the technology is now championed by a dedicated Sedona community of developers and integrators striving to make Sedona an open control language free of licenses and available to all.  This session provides a quick introduction to the Sedona language; an overview of the free programming tool; experiences from a systems integrator implementing common HVAC applications; and plans for a Sedona Alliance.

Analytics and Data – Are we focusing on the most important thing - Productivity?

Monday, Jan. 30; 1:30 pm

Productivity as the new measured variable requires a considerable change in thinking and attitudes towards maintaining buildings and assets; budgets to support it, resources to execute it. The impact on the total value of productivity of the people present plus sharing the space via hoteling of our building environment drives a completely new metric.

While it’s certainly true that analytics can help save energy, if we only consider energy as the justification for analytics then I think we are missing the bigger issue – the impact on the building environment and ultimately people.
