    #33 The UK Smart Metering Fiasco!
    For Episode 33, we were joined by Nick Hunn for an in-depth discussion on the UK Government's smart metering project, which began in 2009. Role forward 15 years, and by some quirk of fate, the same guy from 2009, Ed Miliband, is now back in charge of UK Energy Policy. So, spurred on by Nick's article (linked below), it seemed like the ideal time to look back at the smart metering project, what went wrong, and what it might mean for UK Net Zero goals. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mr-smart-meter-takes-charge-uk-energy-policy-nick-hunn-ilufe/

    #32 The Simple Business Case for Indoor Air Quality!
    For Episode 32, we were joined by Mazen Jamal for an in-depth discussion on the business case for indoor air quality (IAQ). A whole body of scientific research now shows that CO2 levels impact cognitive function. Yet, IAQ often seems like an afterthought for smart building technology projects. Is it just reality that IAQ is lower in the technology “pecking order” than energy management, occupancy analytics, artificial intelligence, fire detection, etc, and therefore doesn't get the same investment?

    #31 You Can't Design a Truly Smart Building Without HR!
    For Episode 31, we were joined by Tomás Mac Eoin from Master Systems Integrator (MSI) Hereworks to Discuss their Swift HR Concept. The Swift HR concept envisions a cross-functional team, led by Human Resources (HR), with the agility to quickly respond to, and manage smart building insights. So it becomes a guiding force for integrating human feedback into the data layer of smart buildings systems, thus improving the user experience. SWIFT HR S = Safety W = Workplace I = IT F = Facilities T = Technology H = Human Resources R = Real Estate More on the Hereworks here 👉👉 https://hereworks.io/

    #29 Why are Building Data Integration Problems so Persistent AND How Can We Fix Them?
    For Episode 29, we were joined by Brahm Lategan, Smart Building Consultant @ MiX based in London. We dived into the world of Commercial Building Data. Why are data integration problems in commercial buildings so persistent? AND how can we fix them? Brahm introduces Unified Namespace (UNS), an architecture from Industrial Automation, as a possible solution. UNS can create a centralized, non-hierarchical structure for real-time data exchange across IT and OT systems.

    #27 The Building Performance Standards Landscape!
    For Episode 27, we were joined by Cliff Majersik from the Institute for Market Transformation (https://www.imt.org/), where he helps to shape policy around energy efficiency in buildings. Will standards really drive wide-scale building decarbonization? And what does that mean for smart building technology? Cliff shared his deep knowledge of energy efficiency standards, building ratings and building codes. We discussed Local Law 97 and its impact as a driver of investment in decarbonizing buildings in the US. And how it compares to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in the EU.
