Track Overview
Buildings 2.0 meets Web 2.0
Track Leader: Toby Considine
Tuesday May 20, 2008
New business models for building systems and their interactions with the power grid require that building systems interact the way businesses do in e-commerce. This requires that building systems developers and integrators learn new skills and new ways of looking at software development and system architecture. The resulting new market will dwarf all others in opportunity over the next decade. This track brings together experts in building systems, the electrical grid, e-commerce, and standards development to discuss the new (to the world of engineered systems) skills and approaches that leadership in this new economy will require.
Interoperability in Enterprise & Smart Systems
11:30 - 1:00
The Smart Grid will use familiar as well as new Information Technologies. These technologies span the range from the new BACnet Load Control object to the forthcoming Web 2.0 implementations. How do CIO Staffs 'trust yet verify' that products are interoperable within their internal and inter-organizational architectures? What are the issues they should be aware of and look for to determine if they are not?

Green Buildings, Green Grid, Green Enterprise
4:30 - 6:00
The challenge with today's systems is not to make them efficient or to use new approaches. The challenge is to make buildings and their systems able to interoperate with the enterprise so they do the right thing at the right time and can prove it. This session discusses system interaction of the modern enterprise, and how these can drive new business models for efficiency and performance.
