Conference Live: John Petze at 2015 Realcomm|IBcon

I had a chance to catch up with Sky Foundry’s John Petze at the 2015 Realcomm|IBcon conference in San Antonio. Key interview take-aways are that the state of building analytics has improved significantly since 2011. As John says, “It’s impossible to monitor data and system operations manually.” Successful deployment of analytics results in increased comfort, reduced costs, and energy savings — and it’s all about the last 18″ — the distance from the computer monitor and the systems operator, and converting data into actionable information.
