Reflects back to 1900 but actively starts with birth of DDC in the mid 1970. Starting in about 1999, leading Building Automation professionals were early collaborators in the effort to put real time data in service to better interior comfort and energy efficiency. They recognized their role as catalysts of this paradigm shift and set to work aligning all the necessary people, processes and technologies. Here's a timeline of their achievements. All the thought-leadership articles, commercial announcements, and press releases used to compile this timeline are found in the database of the online magazine automatedbuildings.com. This timeline is moving in real time with monthly updates of today's information.

3D button is located just at the left bottom. Scroll through the over 21 years you will be surprised how long we been talking about some of this stuff. You can click on any issue for a quick overview of issue contents for more info keep drilling down with a connection to that issue and all of it articles, interview, columns, and news
"Engaging Satisfaction & Wellness."
We have been here before with Awful Mated Buildings and the climb over the Digital Divide and now on a journey to "Digitalmindfulness."
Is paved with thousands of articles, interviews, news releases and new products on the road to find the happiness button over the last 19 years. This is not my story but the story of industry giants helping me create an online collaboratory of their powerful thoughts.
In case you have not heard Voltron with one "t" is the: Defender of the Universe an American animated television series that features a team of astronauts who pilot a giant Super Robot known as "Voltron." But what is Volttron with two tt's? An agent based open-source distributed control and sensing platform for buildings, the power grid, and the integration of the two to support the deployment of energy efficiency and grid services to increase consumer benefits.
I disagree with the assertion that Uber is overstated. Vehemently so.
Some speculate that there are 1,000,000 IT jobs and 500,000 facility jobs currently vacant due to a skills gap.
We have provided connection to resources that will allow you to qualify and quantify the value of Building Health as a very important part of the productivity puzzle.
We need to learn how to stream dinosaur dust in the new social self learning online environments. The industry's info dumping "the dinosaur dump" is not working for teaching those new generations that will become the new us.
A new breed of folks called MSI are rapidly evolving to help us with the process of "Getting There from Here."
To change your world we, of course, need the help of the phone in your pocket, and your phone, of course, knows your location, who you are, and a myriad of other information about you and your human-centric desires.
Agile Adaptive Autodidactic Autonomous Accepted Actions
The catchphrase, #RU IoT Ready? has raised some interesting questions such as, What is IoT? Why should I care? and What does "Ready" really mean?
This was originally Published http://www.contractormag.com/iot/timeline-smart-building-automation-evolution I created this Timeline of Smart Building Automation Evolution, with over 100 events linking 1000's of industry articles and events depicting our history and painfully slow evolution. You will be amazed that some of this stuff we have been talking about for years; and how long open standards and accepted methodologies take to evolve.
A good place to start is with the IoT Council, I am a member, https://www.theinternetofthings.eu/what-is-the-internet-of-things The Council is a formidable, unique network of talents encompassing all skills, experiences and trades, from entrepreneurship to philosophy, public sector and private sector, and it brings together people who beyond their specific knowledge share the same passion of tinkering with technology to put it at the service of individuals, communities, society, and the whole planet.
The mask represents a material metaphor for carving our digitalized world into a shape never before seen, in a process that blurs the lines between science and art but inside that transformation is yet another amazing transformation opportunity to create a better image of ourselves.
Our Messy Future "The Messy Mollusc" This column is literally "Off the Wall". The picture below was created by Lori Garcia-Meredith an illumination engineering friend turned street artist and is painted on the wall of our local bike path. The subject matter haunts me. How would you teach an Octopus how to ride a bike? The Octopus looks like the IoT monster we are all wrestling with; smart, soft, slippery, flexible and able to change form, but to be useful the beast needs to learn how to ride our existing industries bikes, which are old, ridge, hard, and tippy.
AI Is the Brain, IoT the Body speaking with the Face and Voice of Digital Transformation.
This chapter speaks about creating a voice for that face with a new breed of Voice Services aimed at evolving devices.
Younger mentors give me wings, keeping me connected to our rapidly digitally transforming lives, with their connections to yet younger metamorphic mentors.
As part of our never-ending transformation, we need to talk about Transparency which implies openness, communication, and accountability, operating in a way that thoughts, feelings, or motives are easily perceived and it is easy for others to see what actions are performed.
Transparency & Digital Twin is the New Deal The New Deal white paper provides a good summary and is based on three tenets, explained in full in the white paper:
I believe that this mashup and new meta-morphing thinking will evolutionize how other industries will connect their standards, and open movements, and expose them to the power of AI; making all that we have machine-readable, unraveling on our transition to self-learning, and a self-creation world.
You must tag IT, every creation and make it virtual visible.
Humanistic Digital Inclusion "Look, Listen, Feel and Think before Reacting"
Tagging IT is now mandatory or "IT" will virtually disappear as fast as created. Worse yet, the Internet Things we create the "IT" will virtually disappear and no one or no machine will be able to find them in the big data blizzard on-the-edge or in the cloud, to further the value of creation.
My last chapter entitled Humanistic Digital Inclusion has taken us all on the new road to people-centric buildings.
UX is User Experience and refers to a person's emotions and attitudes about using a service. Whether you view Building as a noun or a verb, we as an industry need to create Awesome User Experiences.
Using "Building" as a verb and a noun in the creation of an emotional interactive relationship with the inhabitants and the Physical Building.
The human centered steps to smart digitalisation at Nordic Smart Building Convention.
What are Stackable Semantics? and Why do they make for an Awesome User Experience - UX? while allowing us to achieve Virtual Visibility? Why do we Seek them? ....actually no, demand that they be part of our myriad of IoT device data that is creeping, and leaping into our buildings?
These bots will be the interface to our valuable cargo "the housed humans" in our buildings.
Those who adopt a sympathetic view of the motives, needs, and desires of the Building's relationship with its humanistic purpose based on rapidly evolving views and understandings.
I scare myself several times a day, every day, learning lots while trying to keep an open mind, attempting to grow younger which is only possible in my open mind.
Moving the murky muddled middle to the Edge.
This is all important discussion needed in the necessary disruption that is driving our changing collaborative connection communities.
Now we are in the fourth, an era of connection between our physical, digital, and biological worlds; a new phase of massive creative potential, where everyone has the power to share anything with anyone. This era brings with it an avalanche of new, creative ideas and opportunities.
"Open 2019" is mostly about opening our minds to the Edge of Change that is upon us.
We need your input as we are now at the "Edge of Change" and you are part of this change.
if U R not ready you could lose control take the wrong turn, lose your way or even crash.
As an industry that will survive we need to be Doing Disruption not just watching and waiting to be Disrupted.
The term "AI" Artificial Intelligence seems to be troweled on top of everything these days. But I feel we are all a long way from its true definition.
Disruption is everywhere, open is on our mind and in our software & hardware. Autodidactic DIY is how we learn. Here are some resources to help kick start your digital transformation.
Cybersecurity solutions cannot be a self-serving or an isolated approach they need to be part of a holistic solution.
The importance of being part of and creating "Communities of Practice".
My journeys for the next few months are on the road/highway to Motor City (Motown) then to San Diego's Silicon Beach and then Music City Nashville. As Willy Nelson would say, I am "on the road again" following a few of my many Communities of Practice CoP.
The people and their communities have staying power; the technology does not.
Often words or events I am part of set the theme for my next chapter Our last chapter Connecting Creative Communities The people and their communities have staying power—the technology does not was the focus of my theme for my Keynote "My next 50 years" for the extremely successful event https://www.controlscon.com/
