Choosing the Smart Building Platform Right for You
It’s a jungle out there. There seems to be an endless choice of smart building platforms from which to choose, but how does an owner/manager make the choice that is best for their own situation? This session is designed to help you make a good assessment of your own needs and then select the type of product that works best for you – now and into the future.

Fault Detection & Diagnostics – Real World Lessons for Field Service
Fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) is now a rather common feature in commercial and institutional buildings.

This session will examine the field data and what it means for field service personnel from both third party providers and for resident building operations staff.
