From Sensors to Strategy
The presentation centres around the need to consider the contribution of operational data when considering a building’s asset value. The focus is on the trend for building portfolios to include their capacity for energy efficiency as part of their overall value. We then consider the role of sensing technology to provide the operational data to support this along with the need to promote a shift towards installing sensors as infrastructure. We look at how future-proofing our sensor networks and ingesting as much data as possible into the BEMS from the outset adds flexibility to the system to meet with current and future legislative and environmental goals.

Initially he was an air conditioning engineer but moved into the field of Building Energy Management Systems I the early 1990’s. He has held various hands-on and management roles over the last few decades and is currently a partner and Technical Director at Novus Controls Ltd. In this capacity, Andy provides training and consultancy services to the industry and leads Building Controls Industry Association training courses for The Sontay Academy along with providing training to apprentices as part of the Level 4 BEMS Engineer NVQ. This year, Andy has also taken on the role of Technical Consultant with the BCIA working closely with the skills and technical committees as part of the association’s drive to make smart buildings the norm, not the exception.
