November ................ Connecting Building Automation to Everything

stuff across my desk.   This is stuff that I never know quite what to do with but feel compelled to share with you before I delete, because it is fun and heralds the media and social trends that are changing our industry.

So what else is Building Automation connecting to?

Social networks! After much prompting from the industry, grumpy antisocial Ken finally got with the program and created a personal presence and magazine presence on LinkedIn, I started a AutomatedBuildings.com Group . Please join us on LinkedIn and interact with our magazine & online resource in real time while sharing your thoughts with our editors and other readers around the world.

A great article about how our industry is becoming social media acceptable. Social Networking   Teny E. Varghese, Building Automation Jobs

What else is connecting us to everything?  Globalization, we have articles from Australia , Croatia and Italy in this issue.

Nino writes from Croatia; In an ideal world, we will be able to be vendor and protocol independent. Everything will talk to everything .

Back in the USA Anto writes Key take- away for BAS These developments, and the exceptional level of support globally and at the highest levels in Washington, lead me to be certain that Smart Grid is here to stay, not a passing fad. Most important to readers of AutomatedBuildings.com, Smart Grid has significant implications for building automation and energy management in buildings. From demand response, to energy efficiency and automation, and enterprise integration, Smart Grid will create significant opportunities for BAS players.

from Field to Cloud?

This month's focus is on what is the best way to get our real time data from the field to the cloud. Continuously Connected Open Information is the theme of our 12th  consecutive  year  of providing free education sessions at AHR Expo, see our sneak preview . It seems that this topic is on everyone's mind as we see that we are the industry most likely to provide the connection of real time data to the cloud. Lots of great articles speaking to this as everyone is trying to address how to best get information to cloud-based services.
