Get valuable CPD points in the seminar theatre
Our seminar theatre promises to be THE place to gain valuable CPD points, with a host of top-level speakers in the field of building controls. The BCIA (Building Controls Industry Association) will be holding its quarterly members’ meeting at the show. In addition to taking a stand, BCIA President, Steve Harrison, will be presenting a seminar looking at the key influences on the market for controls. He will also talk about BCIA's work in promoting the benefits of BEMS.
Two talks from BRE
BRE offers expert advice on achieving better buildings, communities and businesses. Its principle consultant, Dr Andy Lewry, is to give two seminars, both of which are CPD accredited. The first is 'Bridging the performance
gap – Understanding predicted and actual energy use of buildings'. Dr Lewry said: “Operators of commercial and public (i.e. non-domestic) buildings need clear and realistic guidance on targeting energy running costs for their properties and on the potential savings available.” In a separate session the same day, Dr Lewry will look at how monitoring and targeting introduces systematic procedures for the long-term ’tracking’ of energy use and identifies areas for improvement.
Dr Lewry has 16 years' experience within the carbon/energy management industry,
preceded by a further 10 years within the environmental/construction sectors. This includes being a technical and sector manager for the government’s Energy Efficiency Best practice programme and working for the Carbon Trust as their Enhanced Capital allowances (ECAs) program manager and then as a technical director.
Over the last few years he has authored and published various publications with ESTA, the Energy Services and Technology Association.
Something different
At the heart of every successful business is the requirement for a compelling value proposition built around the supply of products, services and solutions to one or more market groups. But what else is required? In 'Business Success through Customer Loyalty, Employee Engagement & Operational Effectiveness', Mark Edyman, Managing Director at Six Pillars Consulting, will look at various solutions. Mark has held senior quality and customer loyalty leadership roles driving outstanding customer experiences within complex, international networks and matrix
management environments to support profitable growth.
Underpinning his most recent positions, Mark held successful management roles in Buildings Automation Sales, Operations and Service over a 20-year period providing considerable practical experience now used when working with teams of all types at all business levels.
Tomorrow’s world
Navid Mehr is Distech Controls’ head of business development for the UK & Ireland; he will lead a seminar entitled ‘Building Automation embraces the Internet of Things’.
Navid said: “According to Wikipedia’s definition, the Internet of Things is the extension of the Internet to things and places in the real world by associating them with labels equipped with codes, RFID chips or URLs. These labels, read by
wireless mobile devices will enable the development augmented reality, but also revolutionary management processes for environmental and urban infrastructure.” Navid will explain how The Internet of Things applied to urban management will be trialled for one year across a district. The Boulevard Victor Hugo in Nice is fitted with an intelligent communication network that is used to optimise the city’s management and offer new services to citizens. Kevin Taylor of Innotech Europe will speak on ‘Greener Buildings and how we make them greener’. Today’s Technology plays a factor in how we interact with our Buildings. The integration of services using common communications protocols like BACnet, Modbus and KNX allows the BEMS to centralise services such as HVAC, Energy, Water, Lighting, and others. Individual systems are disjointed, wasteful, and more costly to learn and support, whereas a centralised, all- encompassing BEMS provides a single user experience that is affordable, more manageable for a client, and uses everyday technology, so it’s simple for a client to use and maintain. Kevin says: “The Innotech Omni platform provides the best of 30 years of Innotech innovation, with the most current and emerging technologies. We will highlight the benefits for all users, from Consulting Engineers (looking for an affordable and sustainable solution for their clients), to System Integrators, Installers, Commissioning technicians, and most importantly, the client.”
