In his Presidential Address in May, Kevin Mitchell, the President of CIBSE said “Inspiring and supporting the next generation of engineers will help society solve the big technical and scientific challenges of today and tomorrow”

He went on to say: "Research shows that the most talented young people - those who have a choice of profession - are increasingly drawn to careers where they believe their work will have a positive impact on the world. I would argue that there are few careers that offer more opportunity to deliver real change than that of a Building Services Engineer,"

"If we can inspire people to join us – people from a range of backgrounds who reflect the communities we serve – if we can do that, our ability to problem solve and innovate will increase exponentially".

This session on Inspiring the next generation will cover and explain how everyone of us here at the Smart Buildings Show can be part of launching these careers and ensuring the UK has the required skills in this crucial sector.

Building Management Systems (BMS) are integral to the building design and there are countless solutions for building control in the market. Also, many systems control one part of the building such as the lighting or blinds. There are other systems that are specific to a control level such as at supervisory level for plant control.
So the choice of a BMS can be daunting, especially as design segments of the building project can often be siloed in their approach.
As an integrator if you have a protocol that can act at all levels then the system designer can mitigate risk and manage control of multiple systems. It also means that the architect can offer their client effective control solutions and guaranteed interoperability.

For a protocol to be effective across all building systems and at all control levels it must deliver the following:
Functionality & Performance
Scalability
Usability
Reliability
Efficiency
Longevity

The BMS solution you chose must give you all the flexibility during the design phase with the assurance that it will work as designed!

Understand how a Building Management System can be used to deliver wellbeing in buildings, without compromising on energy efficiency. Discover the relevant sensing and control elements needed to deliver occupant comfort and wellbeing in a sustainable way​.

Energy use and our environment are inexorably linked. No matter how hard we try, using innovative efficient new luminaire designs and controls, an installation will always have a carbon footprint. But, how much energy is used in the production of luminaires adding to that carbon footprint? One light can indirectly produce one tonne of CO₂ per annum from its energy use alone, what can we do about it?

A balance must be achieved between the quality of the lit environment from the user’s viewpoint and all aspects of the environmental impact of the installation throughout its operating life. Are you passionate about helping to save the environment, and would you like to save the client money at the same time? This presentation answers these questions and suggests a modern approach to reducing all our carbon concerns.

Within this CIBSE approved CPD session we will explore using a bottom up approach to connecting building systems, centralising platforms and aggregating building data. We will then explore how we can use this data to drive relationship actions between building systems.

Delegates will gain an understanding of how we can approach a smart building from either a retrofit or greenfield deployment. Plus, insights into how latest technology can deliver a more efficient, productive and healthy place to work, and make a major contribution in achieving sustainability goals, reducing energy consumption and maximising operational efficiency.

MyGlobalHome are pioneering the world’s first AI Powered Green Building Platform.

Never has there been a more pressing time for such technology. In the face of soaring energy costs, economic uncertainty and the felt effects of climate change, a platform that enables buildings to reduce their own energy consumption and optimise internal environment empowering healthy, comfortable, and secure occupation is essential.

MyGlobalHome firmly believe that the insights derived from their network of Intelligent Buildings could help to make net-zero in the built environment a realistic possibility. Their platform uses AI to identify optimum building performance metrics. It has the reach to join key industry stakeholders; investors, developers, suppliers and service providers to design, construct and maintain the most sustainable and self-sufficient property for any given location.

This talk will dive into the deliverable benefits of this approach and showcase a simplified delivery methodology that makes it accessible to everyone.

The role of the BMS continues to evolve. However, one area that’s frequently overlooked in large residential schemes is how it can be successfully and seamlessly integrated with audio-visual (AV) systems to create a fully functioning smart home that also meets the comfort, convenience and aesthetic demands of the occupants. This talk from CEDIA-award winning company Imperium Building Systems will explain why deeper integration between BMS and AV is so important in this type of project, the barriers to integration and how these barriers can be effectively overcome to the benefit of all parties involved.
