Water management and water intelligence: Protecting your building’s bottom line
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), around 6,000 Legionnaires’ disease cases are reported each year in the United States. However, scientists believe the reported totals are much lower than the actual cases due in part to the difficulty in distinguishing Legionnaires’ disease from other types of pneumonia. The Legionella bacteria causing the disease could be lurking in your building’s water systems, according to ESD Technical Director for Plumbing James Dipping.
Achieving building comfort through proper controls, integration design
Consideration of thermal comfort within a building is often an afterthought, that is until there is a need to adjust the space temperature for more heating or cooling. Homeowners understand that the thermostat in their home is the means to make that adjustment, typically to a home furnace with or without air-conditioning, a home boiler radiant heat system or even a heating/cooling heat pump system.
How to manage building assets at airports
Learning Objectives Understand the benefits of supplementing building management systems with analytical machine learning software. Apply a reliability-based and predictive maintenance program to traditional computerized maintenance management systems software functions. Leverage analytical software for monitoring-based commissioning. Learn to operate building information modeling to create a digital twin to enhance asset management.
Using artificial intelligence to control building systems
Learning Objectives Understand how basic machine learning algorithms used in the control and optimization of HVAC systems work, and what type of data is needed to train them. Learn about the impact that a BAS network has on the data that is being used by machine learning algorithms. Know what metrics can be used to analyze the performance of machine learning algorithms that are being used for the control or optimization of HVAC systems.
Raising the IQ of the Buildings We Already Have
It seems that when Smart Cities are discussed, more emphasis is always placed on the "new city out of the ground" phenomena, and not on our existing cities and buildings. The new technology that can be used to reduce the power consumption and carbon footprint of new "out of the ground" Smart Cities is exciting, but it is also encouraging to see the vast opportunities we have to improve the performance of the myriad buildings in the cities we already occupy.
