15. Buildings With Their Own Internet Identity and Address

16. Where should we locate our Web-Based Facilities Operation "WBFO"?

17. Documenting the Design Variance Buildings are seldom operated as they were originally designed.

18. We must develop the “magic” to take our automation interfaces to the next level in an elegant convergence model.

19. It is all about a better interface with the end-user. David J. Branson, Senior V P, Compliance Services Group Ken Sinclair, Editor/Owner online industry magazine AutomatedBuildings.com

20. I predict a very strong movement to "occupant integrated" HVAC controls within the next decade. My prediction is that by the second decade of this century, most class "A" office spaces will be required to offer individual control of thermal and lighting levels. This integration will most likely be Internet based. Thomas Hartman, P.E. Contributing Editor, Friend and Mentor

21. Occupants are connected to wide area networks, including the Internet, and yet almost none of them can connect to their local comfort system to request changes in thermal or lighting levels in the space they occupy.

22. From a worker performance perspective it is extremely wasteful that we are not aggressively pursuing such individual comfort control connections.

23. WHY A WEB-BASED INTERFACE? Easy access. Cost of ownership. Ease of installation and configuration. Common 'front-end' to dissimilar systems. Extended life of existing EMS. Scalable.

25. We are not talking about viewing our old systems through a Web browser; we are talking about total product, design, control, and mechanical/electrical equipment integration.

27. Super Operators

28. "The Birth of the Super-Operator" and creating their support network.

29. Have you seen the new CABA Technology Roadmap for Intelligent Buildings?

30. If we do not change, changes will come from outside our industry. The real danger for our industry is if we do not grow rapidly enough to provide this value added service there is a host of "ISIT's" (Information Systems and Information Technology) types who will.

The OSI Model Layer 7: The application layer...is where communication partners are identified Layer 6: The presentation layer...is usually part of an operating system Layer 5: The session layer...sets up, coordinates, and terminates Layer 4: The transport layer...manages the end-to-end control Layer 3: The network layer...routing of the data Layer 2: The data-link layer...synchronization for the physical level Layer 1: The physical layer...conveys the bit stream
