Smart Buildings Exchange Session Recordings Available!

September 2, 2021 By Britton Rife


Last week the first annual Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) delivered a value-packed two days of conversations focused on today’s opportunities for technologies and practices that improve the intelligent operation of commercial and institutional buildings.

The conference kicked off with a moderated panel discussion featuring the chief executives of electric utilities joining experts from the Rocky Mountain Institute and Microsoft to discuss the quickly evolving world of carbon emissions, electric utilities and the customers they serve. Following the plenary session were sessions that ranged from grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs), to the role of artificial intelligence in building operations, to challenges in workforce skills development in a rapidly changing operations environment – and more.

The session recordings are now available on the Smart Buildings Center YouTube Channel so you can watch any you missed and rewatch any you enjoyed.

Thank you to all sponsors, planning committee members, speakers, and attendees who helped make the event a success!

Join the SBX 2021 Virtual Tour of a Digital Twin

July 27, 2021 By Britton Rife

The Smart Buildings Exchange 2021 FREE virtual conference has plenty of exciting sessions that explore the technology and practices of smart buildings. Certainly, the end of day one of the conference has something very special for attendees. Willow, one of the world’s leading companies in building digital twin technology will take you on a “tour” of a 2.1 million square foot office building in New York City. As landlords, occupiers and governments are reconfiguring their investment priorities for physical assets in a post-COVID environment, digital twins are enabling them to maximize investments and extend the life of buildings. Tour guides Ian Siegel and Chris Manna of Willow will show how this technology is actively deployed to help achieve cost and operational efficiencies.

Join building owners/managers, facility professionals, utilities, and industry representatives to learn more about the how and why of smart buildings. View the full conference agenda and register for free today!

SBX 2021 Session Highlight: Workforce Skill Development for a Smart Building Future

July 13, 2021 By Britton Rife

The Smart Buildings Exchange virtual conference, August 24-25, will dive deep into the role of smarter buildings in a changing energy landscape. Day 1 of the event will feature an engaging discussion on the importance of workforce skill development in meeting the needs of the smart, clean and efficient buildings industry.

Workforce Skill Development for a Smart Building Future

Creating and maintaining a building environment that is healthy, comfortable, and productive for occupants has always been challenging. That challenge is growing exponentially today as building systems become more sophisticated and employee expectations for their indoor environment become a critical component of talent acquisition and retention. These challenges are creating need for new skills and abilities for all who bear the responsibility for making buildings work better. Leading building owner/manager organizations and the Biden administration’s Better Buildings program effort are focusing on the issue of workforce development. This session will bring practitioners from the front lines of workforce development to talk about how training programs are addressing this need from entry-level to on-the-job training and how these programs open the door to a more diversified workforce in this important area.

Panelists include Melanie Danuser, Smart Buildings Center, Lindsey Falasca, Building Innovation Hub, and Madeline Salzman, U.S. Department of Energy. The discussion will be moderated by Diane Levine with the IFMA Foundation.
