Dan McJacobson, P.E., LEED AP

The IoT is creating a huge buzz in energy management, but remains a somewhat nebulous concept. This presentation will start with the foundation of what the IoT is, and how it relates to buildings. Topics will cover tools available on the market, examples of their features, benefits and pitfalls and how the IoT can enable ongoing Cx.

BAS vs IoT 13 (BACnet, happy 21st birthday)
Traditionally, building systems are siloed • Asset management • Lighting • HVAC • Security • Plumbing What makes IoT powerful (so much more than a BAS or EMS) 14 Lighting Security Plumbing Asset Management HVAC BAS
What makes IoT powerful (so much more than a BAS or EMS) 15 • Open data structures • Application Programming Interface (API) • Integrated control of equipment
16 Operations Property Mgt. Portfolio Mgt. Government End User Internet of Things Benchmarking EMS BAS
What can IoT do for buildings? 17 Maintenance and Repair • Predictive diagnostics • Reduced down time Energy Optimization • Powerful, scalable analytics - apps for buildings • Detailed equipment diagnostics • Whole building energy use monitoring • Benchmarking now required in 15 cities1 1. Institute for Market Transformation, 2015
What can Building IoT do for people? 18 Occupant engagement • Inform occupants, shaping behavior • Improved comfort Future • New products, services and business models are racing to market. USGBC Concept LEED Dashboard

Product limitations 21 • Security • Privacy • No available standards • Interoperability between products will be challenging • Legacy system integration
Product Limitations - Interoperability 22 “…the BACnet-LonMark struggle for the hearts and minds of building automation users is far from over.” - ACHR News, April 3, 2000 “…the ultimate prize … is to become the software platform upon which all vertical applications in the Internet of Things will be built.” - TechCrunch, 2013
Consumer Experience 23 [Acme’s] servers are proving to be unreliable…When they work they are great! But in the last 6 days the servers have been down 2 days. Yes the [devices] work even when the system is down but all other integration or remote access DO NOT work. No IFTTT, no off from work, no … integration. HOLD off for now, don't make my mistake and invest over $... in a system that isn't ready for market yet. - Amazon Review
