Building Engagement Platforms + "Decarbonization"
These reviews set our January 2020 Theme give them a read;
The Building Engagement Platform combines previous platform generations on a flatten, secured IP horizontal architecture with the touchpoints, tools, ingestion of real-time data streams and workplace applications.
Embracing the importance of the shift in smart city thinking and action in spite of National and International floundering started us on a journey of deep discussion of what "Decarbonization" and our Climate Emergency means to our industry?
Our contributing editor Marc provides his prediction for - 2020 the year of the platform— especially open platforms. Lots of other trendings discussed.
Niagara Summit is where Tridium brings together its full global community of master systems integrators, building engineers, application developers, building owners and facility managers. Nowhere else will you find such a powerful mix of people ready to discuss how we are going to make our commercial buildings, data centers and industrial plants more intelligent, cyber secure and energy-efficient as well as safe and healthy for the people inside.

We are often asked why is our website so ugly?
The answer is because it is built on a base of HTML 0.0 over 20 years old. Before the days when we gave control of our advertising to Google and we pushed our own controlled ads with our own server-side software.
Does anyone remember Microsoft FrontPage and Frames? Common Gateway Interface CGI?...big smile
Created in the '90s, CGI was the first technique for generating dynamic content.
The advantage is everything still fits and 20-year-old links still work. We can still present a 20-year-old article with today's advertising and then direct you back to the latest issue. BTW we have never changed our advertising rates in over 20 years, we likely should. :-)
We are very impressed that the basic old HTML still retrieves pages 20 years later. Well done a great standard with longevity built-in.
Also kudos to our virtual server provider BareMetal.com Inc., web-hosting and domain-registration specialists since 1995. We came to know them when they hosted the first online CCS manual. We have never lost a file and uptime has been amazing.
Many services and links depended on the URL of each article, interview, review, etc not changing.
Every time a new kid....big smile takes over a web site they with one command change the URLs without a redirect breaking thousands maybe millions of links and our collective history is lost. I love history 50 years in the industry has taught me that it is important.
