Trends Marc is Seeing:
A Changing Landscape: From Construction to Distribution
Marc explains that some areas are seeing a slow down in new construction, effecting building automation controls, but he is seeing a significant rise in the retail and industrial distribution sectors. 🌞🏭
The Advent of IP Controls
The realm of building automation is evolving, with IP controls leading the charge. Offering a multitude of advantages such as ease of network integration, enhanced cybersecurity, IoT compatibility, and optimal bandwidth utilization, IP controls are becoming the cornerstone of modern BAS systems. 🌐
Safety First: Cybersecurity and IP Controls
With growing reliance on digital systems, cybersecurity in building automation controls has never been more paramount. Marc is observing an increasing emphasis on considering cybersecurity aspects right from the initial project discussions. 🛡️
“The Edge” in Building Automation
One term I believe everyone should be familiar with is “the edge.” It revolves around the concept of collecting and processing data at the device level in building automation controls. Especially in today’s hybrid working models, real-time automation is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. 🏙️
Consulting Engineers: Bridging the Gap
Building owners and investors are demanding more – from real-time data insights to sustainability. And guess who’s helping bridge this gap? Consulting engineers! They’re shifting their expertise towards understanding and implementing cutting-edge BAS systems and smart building controls. 🤝
The Power of Data Analytics and Haystack Tagging
In our quest for smarter buildings, data analytics and tagging (like Haystack tagging) are proving indispensable. They help gather data in a cost effective manner, that can be used to demonstrate a building’s environmental responsibility but also ensure compliance with local laws and regulations. Plus, they’re pivotal in attracting the next generation of tech-savvy occupants. 📊
The Road Ahead: System Integrators and Future Tech
Lastly, as we look to the horizon, it’s evident that system integrators must focus on emerging technologies like AI, EV charging stations, and fortifying cybersecurity measures. Such adaptations ensure that our BAS systems remain efficient, resilient, and ahead of the curve. 🤖🔌
