June 30, 2016 By Vamsi

A couple of months ago we blogged about how the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory was looking for teams to participate in their Connected Buildings Challenge, and now that the teams are set, it’s time to see the selected teams demonstrate their solutions! On Wednesday, August 3rd at the Smart Buildings Center you will witness the teams showcase their smart building technologies for mainstream consumers. The no-cost event goes from 9:30 am to 3 pm, and you can register here.

Read up on the teams and their projects, and get more information on the PNNL website’s Building-Grid Integration Page, and the Connected Buildings Challenge blog.

If you are interested in showing off your own ideas related to VOLTTRON™ contact Xiaoli Dunn: Xiaoli.Duan@pnnl.gov.

PNNL Seeking Teams for Connected Buildings Challenge

April 18, 2016 By Vamsi

city buildingsPacific Northwest National Laboratory is hosting the Connected Buildings Challenge with the objective of accelerating development of smart, connected buildings. Registration is due later this week, April 22.

Through funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, PNNL is seeking teams to join the competition with an innovative project of their own. Teams are asked to provide a solution to a targeted building-related challenge, the specification of which can be defined by the participating team.

All submitted projects are required to integrate VOLTTRON™—an open-source software platform to connect energy management devices—with smart building devices, sensors, or appliances such as heating and cooling equipment, hot-water heaters, washers and dryers, refrigerators, lighting controls, weather stations, thermostats, humidity sensors, etc.

At the end of each challenge, the teams are expected to demo their project to a judging committee. The selected team will receive further assistance to improve, test, and potentially commercialize their products.

Learn about the Connected Buildings Challenge and VOLTTRON at the PNNL website.
