SUMMARY:Webinar: Barriers to and Progress Towards More Interoperable Building Systems
DESCRIPTION:Achieving the energy efficiency potential of advanced building systems has long required the use of controls. However\, controls require data\, as do other software applications that enable\, for example\, space utilization analytics or grid-responsiveness. The configuration of such applications – that is\, the matching of data sources to software needs\, has long been time and cost intensive\, and thus a barrier to deployment. Sematic interoperability standards can reduce these barriers\, and several such standards are currently being finalized or updated. Join this webinar to learn about recent progress and suggestions for how building managers might leverage them when procuring new equipment or making upgrades from Michael Poplawski at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. \nSpeakers: Michael Poplawski\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory \n\nRegistration Link
