BuilConn 2011

As one of the core tracks within ConnectivityWeek, BuilConn explores the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in building automation and energy management systems. When it comes to evolving open systems and the broad use of IP in controls, industry leaders rely on BuilConn as a critical venue to discuss and explore new trends and opportunities in building systems.The latest trend of importance: connecting buildings to the smart grid (B2G).

Given that buildings contribute more than 40% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and that energy costs are on a steady rise, BuilConn is focused on how connectivity both within buildings and also between buildings and the grid will improve energy efficiency, while ensuring occupant safety and comfort.
