Five years evolving Smart BuildingsThe convergence of building systems and IT is bringing with it a plethora of new opportunities for commercial building and facility owners, operators to evolve how they design, build and operate their facilities.Since 2003 BuilConn has been the gathering place for thought leaders in technology and deployment of IT for buildings. In these five years, attendees and speakers at BuilConn

have evolved a clear picture of the future of IT in the context of buildings.Under the label of Buildings 2.0, BuilConn in 2008 will focus on the following subjects, designed primarily for business and building owners:

The state of play for the use of IT in building systems• Quantifying the value proposition of connected buildings• How to design and specify tomorrow’s green and connected facilities• Understanding the options of services for high performing buildings• Solutions to critical challenges in owning / operating facilities• Planning for green and sustainable energy-efficient buildings• How buildings can be integrated into corporate enterprise systems•

Evolving the Smart GridThe increase in distributed renewable energy components can only be pos-sible with a broad and comprehensive real-time information infrastructure to control and manage all of the components of the electricity delivery system.The GridWise vision is a critical component of such a future system, a vision that maps out the creation of a smart grid to manage electricity system from generation, through transmission, distribution and consumption.Organized in partnership with the GridWise Architecture Council (an initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Energy), the GridWise Expo has the following objectives:

Educate business and technology community • on the future smart grid.Show smart grid technology principles, products and solutions• Outline opportunities in a multi-billion dollar market for smart energy.• Connect technology providers with utilities implementing smart grid.• Review opportunities arising out of the Energy Act of 2007.•

Smart Meters driving Home ConnectivityWith the increased deployment of smart meters in North America and around the world, connectivity in homes is now driving a growth in Home Automation applications related to energy management.HomeConn is a new event held as part of Connectiv-ityWeek, focused on exploring how the deployment of millions of smart meters and smart energy appliances will create a new and vibrant markets for smart home devices from security, heating, air conditioning, lighting and lifestyle / entertainment systems.Held in partnership with leading technology groups, HomeConn will provide attendees with valuable information, including:

Deployment plans for AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure)• The status of California’s smart meter initiative• Communications technologies being implemented into homes• Service business and investment opportunities•

In the evolution of wireless technologies for control and monitoring applica-tions, ZigBee stands alone in leading the charge of creating a standard for wireless mesh networking.The ZigBee Expo is organized in partnership with the ZigBee Alliance, an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly-networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard.The ZigBee Expo will present ZigBee technology and products designed for numerous applications including:

Energy management• Commercial building applications• Home and residential systems and appliances• Consumer products•

With the acceptance of the climate change crisis in the U.S., the business community is exploring how to turn this challenge into an opportunity to innovate, reinvigorate the nation’s technology leadership in the world and strenghen the economy.The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th century, followed by the Information Revolution of the late 20th century is paving the way for a new

“Energy Revolution”, a revolution that centers on utilizing IT to fundamen-tally change how we create, distribute and employ energy.The future of billions of connected smart devices from home appliances to environmental controls to industrial robots lie at the heart of this vision, with intelligent connectivity of these devices as a critical element for success. ConnectivityWeek focuses on this element.

ConnectivityWeek 2008 Key TopicsThe role of connectivity for the future of smart efficient energy• Retool how we design, build, own and manage the built environment• Implementing effective supply-demand management of energy• Understanding the security implications of energy and smart devices• Evolving new business models around technology and opportunities• Opportunities with connectivity, energy and the built environment• Surfacing new service-oriented business opportunities• How the U.S. can take a lead role in the Energy Revolution•

Industrial Automation IT & ConnectivityIndustrial Automation has been at the forefront of smart connected devices for decades, since the creation of PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) in the 1970s.The use of connectivity and IT in industrial applica-tions has significantly increased in recent years. IndConn, a new event organized in partnership with the OPC Foundation and Open O&M, will address the following:

Broad adoption of OPC UA (Unified Architecture)• Increased use of IT techniques, products and methodologies• Importance of interoperability data and information standards•

Demand Response, where buildings meet the gridAs the North American electricity grid comes under stress from increasing demand, a focus on curtailing peak load provides an opportunity for building owners and building automation stakeholders to participate in load shedding strategies driven by lucrative incentives offered by electricity suppliers.Many early implementations of DR have tended to be simplistic, using event and price signals to simply turn off consuming devices and/or initiating distrib-uted generation that are often not environmentally friendly.Using technology currently available, a more sophisticated and valuable DR

can be implemented, especially when leveraging building automation systems. Such DR imple-mentation can be noninvasive and sensitive to environmental concerns of climate change.Held initially in Chicago in 2007, DR-Expo is the

first event totally focused on the implementation of DR in today’s world of environmentally-aware and cost-conscious business and real estate areas. DR-Expo attendees will gain the following benefits:

Be informed of the reason why DR is real, immediate and significant• Learn how to implement DR from ISO and DR providers• See the complete technology picture of DR implementation• Learn from experts who have developed processes and best practices•

DR-Expo is a must-attend event for...Commercial Building Owners• Energy and Facility Managers• Residential Planners and Developers• Building Automation Contractors and Integrators• Manufacturing and Plant Operators•

Four years defining Machine-to-MachineWhile much of M2M to date has been about technology and applications within specific vertical segments and markets, the full power of M2M will only be realized as a grand integration platform enabling cross vertical interoperability and business opportunities.The M2M Expo is the only global expo focused on the implementation of M2M. In 2008 the focus of M2M will be on energy management and sustainability.M2M Expo will address the following:

The trends in adoption of intelligent • connected devicesUnderstanding the M2M opportunity in green energy• Key M2M areas in buildings, homes and industrial applications• Key technologies, products and services for M2M•

Buildy AwardsThe Annual Buildy AwardsFor the fifth year running, the Buildy awards will be pre-sented to industry leaders in the building automation and

connectivity industries.Voted upon by attendees of Connec-tivityWeek, the award has become the hallmark of success for technology companies and leaders of the industry.The Buildys are handed out at the Industry Awards Gala on Thursday evening of ConnectivityWeek, an

event much anticipated year round by many.
