4. Technology Managed in Silos
Technology historically evolved in
HVAC silos with virtually no visibility
across systems
Different communication

6. Enabling technology is challenging the traditional way of building.
Drivers of integration:
• Balances first costs and life-cycle costs
• Integration is an effective way to meet
code and regulatory requirements
• Green buildings demand a more
integrated solution
• Increased physical and logical safety
requirements rely on the integration of
building and business systems
• Network convergence is accelerating
building system integration
Convergence of IP is changing the way we manage buildings.

7. One Example of Leveraging the Data: Techno-Commissioning
A continuous and automated process to gather performance data,
identify and prioritize faults, and recommend operational actions…
Utility Billing Data
Building Controls Data
Rules-
Energy Meter Data Sustainability Based
Data Fault
Lease & Property Data
Integration Detection
Platform and Tune-up,
Maintenance Data
Diagnostics repair, and
Schedule, Reservations optimization
Onsite Generation Data
