Session Details
Building automation has been around for a number of years and typically been embraced by building engineers. With the introduction of IP-centric intelligent building systems, the topic has expanded and is getting the attention of a broader segment of the built environment including IT, business executives, facilities and energy/sustainability. Specifically, the commercial, corporate and government real estate sectors are close to jumping the chasm and now implementing world-class strategies for their building portfolios. This session will include those real estate thought leaders that are at the front of this trend and will share their thoughts on the future of the smart, connected, high-performance, intelligent building industry.
