The next Why Smart Buildings event is August 24th, don’t miss it!

July 9, 2018 By SBC

Our next Why Smart Buildings event will not be one to miss.  The focus will be on deciphering between hype versus reality and how we can set ourselves up for success in the smart buildings world.  We have invited Senator Maria Cantwell as well as Mayor Jenny Durkan to speak at the event, and Jake Oster from Amazon will also moderate a local panel to address the reality of implementing smart technologies in the PNW.   Among the panelists are Kim Zentz, Urbanova; Ash Awad, McKinstry; and Curt Kirkeby, Avista.

Why Smart Buildings? 2018 Executive Forum

May 2, 2018 By SBC

The Edge building in Amsterdam is elected to be one of the smartest and greenest buildings in the world.  “From the minute you wake up, you’re connected.  The app checks your schedule and…finds you a desk.  Because at The Edge, you don’t have one.  No one does.”  – (Full Bloomberg article and video here.).    That is just the beginning of the amazing and sophisticated technology you can find at The Edge, where Erik Ubels, Chief Technology Officer at OVG Real Estate and former CIO for Deloitte, was responsible for the development of this quintessential model of a smart building.

Join us at the Smart Buildings Center as we welcome Erik Ubels to our inaugural Executive Forum “Why Smart Buildings?”.  Erik will share his experience in the development of The Edge and how the IoT infrastructure within the building empowers a more productive workforce.  There will be opportunities for Q&A and we will also host a local panel with unique perspectives on smart in the PNW.  Seats are limited, register today!
