Smart buildings represent a dynamic concept open to interpretation. This presentation will delve into the successful deployment of low voltage lighting as the foundational infrastructure for smart buildings across three iconic addresses in New York City: 420 5th Ave, 3 Times Square, and One Vanderbilt. We will explore various use cases such as Building Management System (BMS) integration, space analytics, Audio-Visual (AV) enhancements, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) improvements. Additionally, we will discuss best practices for planning and design, along with key tips for ensuring successful installations.
What EXACTLY, makes a building ‘’SMART’’? At the highest level, a Smart Building links devices, applications, and people to deliver two key value propositions: enabling new experiences and improving operational efficiency.
A Smart Building starts with ubiquitous, reliable wired and wireless connectivity, indoors and out. However, while that kind of connectivity may once have been a goal in itself for many buildings, it’s just the beginning.
When all of the people, devices and applications share a common technology infrastructure, they can interact with each other to enable experiences and efficiencies that weren’t possible before.
This and much more will be explored during this session.
Speakers:
Daniel Floyd, Cundall
Anthony Yeomans, Devtank
Kevin Brownell, Nuxform
