Case Study: Center for Intelligent Buildings
Mead Rusert
President, Automated Logic Corporation (a Carrier company)
As technologies continue to advance and data becomes increasingly abundant and accessible, the world is recognizing the tremendous potential of smart buildings to support health, safety and sustainability. Now imagine what’s possible when a smart building continues to grow even smarter with each passing day. Carrier’s Center for Intelligent Buildings brings this idea to life. The 224,000-square-foot global headquarters is a proving ground for intelligent, integrated technologies, using data to continuously evolve and adapt in ways that improve experiences, efficiency and sustainability based on how the building is being used. The approach has yielded significant energy savings and helped the building earn both LEED® and WELL Platinum® certifications.
This course is approved for .5 General GBCI CE hour and .5 AIA LU/HSW.

The Challenge of Smart Building Integration
In this session, panelists will discuss the challenges of integrating new climate and other building technologies so that they speak to each other, work together, and are able to be managed by the building engineers through a single software platform. Smart technologies include energy and lighting controls, building management systems, dynamic glazing, air quality, occupancy sensors, security, and elevators. Challenges and solutions will be presented.
This course is approved for 1.5 General GBCI CE hour and 1.5 AIA LU/HSW.

MODERATOR
Healthy & Resilient Buildings Program Manager, San Francisco International Airport
Evolving technologies in integrated high-performance buildings require skilled personnel to operate increasingly complex buildings and are raising the bar on advanced skills needed to operate IoT-connected and optimized systems. As a result, owners are facing a workforce gap in highly skilled labor, while at the same time new opportunities for high-road jobs are emerging. In this session, we will explore workforce development challenges in the evolution of smart buildings and discuss opportunities to support high-road jobs for vulnerable communities.
This course is approved for 1.5 General GBCI CE hour and 1.5 AIA LU/HSW.

Mary Ann Piette
Division Director: Building Technology & Urban Systems Division, Lawrence Berkeley Labs
This talk will discuss the state of the art in smart building controls, analytics, decarbonization, and grid integration. This will include a high-level introduction to energy savings opportunities, plus the need for system integration and interoperability. Decarbonization of buildings will require greater investment in energy efficiency, grid communications and response, electrification, and integration with distributed energy resources such as EVs, storage, and PV. Smart controls are a cornerstone of this technology. As we transition from conventional electricity to renewable energy supply systems we have a great need for flexible electricity demand. This presentation will cover the emerging technology for grid-interactive efficient buildings that can provide $200 Billion of value to utilities over the next decade. The talk will also cover the California Load Flexibility Research and Deployment Hub which is evaluating the ability of buildings to respond to continuous dynamic pricing and real-time greenhouse gas signals.
Keynote speaker Mary Ann Piette is a Senior Scientist and the Director of the Building Technology and Urban Systems (BTUS) Division in the Energy Technologies Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She oversees Berkeley Lab's building technology research activities for the U.S. Department of Energy which covers appliance standards, technology analysis and tools to accelerate deployment, new building technologies, modeling and analysis, commercial and residential building systems integration, grid-interactive communications, and integration with EVs, storage and PVs. Her most recent work is exploring how to accelerate decarbonization while ensuring equity and affordability. Mary Ann also leads the new California Load Flexibility Research and Deployment Hub (CalFlexHub) which will pioneer new technologies, and advanced communication and controls to enable buildings to receive automated dynamic pricing and GHG signals.
This course is approved for 1.5 General GBCI CE hour and 1.5 AIA LU/HSW.
