Building Systems Integration

2:00 - 5:00

As IT starts to become pervasive in building systems, this three-hour session will provide building owners, consultants and architects with key information and knowledge about how technologies such as TCP/IP, XML, and web services are being used in buildings. Information provided at this session is technical, but focuses on the relevance and application of such technologies in buildings rather than detailed technology education. Attendees will conclude this session with a well-rounded understanding on the impact of technology to buildings.
