Connectivity in Emergency & Critical Management
14:00 - 15:30
A critical value of connectivity in buildings is its application in emergency situations. The information contained within buildings can, if connected and made available using reliable infrastructure and information standards, provide timely and actionable data for emergency responders.
This session will discuss the potential links, and how this can be made possible.

Digital Signage for Service & Revenue Opportunities
16:00 - 17:30
The availability of networked digital displays is providing building owners, designers and operators with a new and exciting tool to improve many applications within buildings. From emergency notification, to better tenant experience, the possibilities that emerge when displays are connected to the building system is immense.
Top of mind are revenue generating applications, which in many cases provide easy justifications for the installation of such systems, while providing additional easier justification for non-revenue applications.
