EXHIBITION preview Smart Buildings Show 2023 The UK's leading smart buildings event will showcase smarter buildings for a sustainable future Taking place at ExCeL London on 18th - 19th October, the Smart Buildings Show 2023 will connect visitors to the latest information and technology in the smart buildings industry. WHY VISIT? As the UK races to meet its net zero targets numerous industries are under the spotlight to ensure they are doing what is required to create a greener future for our planet. It is no secret that the building and construction sector accounts for a high proportion of carbon dioxide emissions, meaning plans for any new building project are scrutinised heavily to assess its environmental impact and its sustainability. It is here that smart technology and smart buildings have a crucial role to play. This is the ideal event for you to get the information that you need to make your buildings more economic and functional. Taking part will be companies and forward thinkers demonstrating the latest technologies and you will be able to share their experience, and that of other organisations. You will get to see what's new in the industry and bring yourself up to date with the latest innovations and ideas. You will also get the opportunity to learn from case studies from companies with similar situations and concerns to yours. You should also be able to catch up with your current suppliers and to meet new ones, or to find new partners and business opportunities, and to network with your peers from other organisations. And it's also a way of saving money by visiting the exhibition of leading vendors and having the opportunity to evaluate their solutions. SUSTAINABILITY Of all the key issues facing the industry, Sustainability always appears at the top of the agenda. Many companies are simply paying lip service to the concept, however, perhaps because of the perceived cost, the difficulties associated with its implementation, or a misconception of its definition and role. So, what exactly is sustainability? The accepted definition is that sustainability consists of fulfilling the needs of current generations without compromising those of future ones, while ensuring a balance between economic growth, environmental care and social wellbeing. Put more simply, we need to safeguard the environment for the future without unduly jeopardising current needs. Adopting more sustainable practices within the industry is becoming more urgent, but at a recent Smart Buildings Magazine panel debate it was clear that whilst sustainability is a goal from whichever perspective you are looking at it, the means of getting there are not clear at all. The organisers of the Smart Buildings Show 2023 believe that buildings can deliver services that make occupants productive at the lowest cost and environmental impact over a building's lifecycle. To do this requires adding intelligence from the design phase through to the end of the building's useful life. Smart buildings use information technology during their operation to connect subsystems, which typically operate independently, so that these systems can share information to optimise total building performance. Being able to proactively monitor and regulate the performance of a building and its facilities during seasonal weather conditions, fluctuating occupancy and other factors enables owners to save on energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions whist improving 26 September/October 2023
EXHIBITION preview the comfort and experience of its occupants. Event Director Ian Garmeson said: "The biggest names leading the way in smart technology will be joining us at this year's Smart Buildings Show and it promises to be another exciting and highly informative event. Whether it's knowledge of a new piece of technology or some useful advice from industry experts, you'll find it at Smart Buildings Show 2023." CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Give yourself plenty of time to attend the event as it will be hosting a busy conference programme, providing a vast range of thought-provoking thought-leadership sessions, industry updates and panel discussions, across four theatres, covering Management, a Controls & Networks Theatre, an Energy Management Theatre, and a Residential Developers Theatre. MANAGEMENT This theatre will look at how a smart building is managed, and will include facilities management, software, security, sector analysis and market information, integration of data and its analysis and other services. CONTROLS & NETWORKS THEATRE A treat for technology enthusiasts, as this theatre will look at the wide range of physical devices being deployed in smart buildings including building controls, energy efficiency monitors, BEMS, sensors, wireless devices, networking and last, but not least, lighting - although we've come a long way from 'will the last one to leave please switch off the light'! ENERGY MANAGEMENT THEATRE The Energy Management Theatre looks at the importance of the data collected by smart devices and shows how it can be used to reduce costs, emissions or as a planning tool to map out a sustainable future, working towards a net zero world. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPERS THEATRE From installers of multi-technology solutions on large new build projects to local installers of dedicated smart devices, the Residential Developers Theatre is the one to attend, as it will bring together integrators, resellers and manufacturers. They will be able to answer all the key questions and show the benefits of being a player in this fast-growing sector. EXPERT SPEAKERS Among the representatives from leading manufacturers and organisations involved in developing smart buildings who will be hosting sessions covering all aspects of smart building technologies are: Mitie, the UK's leading Facilitiies Management Company; Tridium Inc, a leading developer of Open Automation Systems; Lutron and Helvar for lighting and intelligent lighting controls; Schneider Electric and Siemens for Electronic Components and Intelligent Device manufacturing, and Beckhoff, experts in Automation Technology. Accompanying them will be KNX, developers of the open standard EN 50090, ISO/IEC 14543 for commercial and residential building automation and CEDIA, the Global Association for Smart Home Technology. The Smart Building Show 2023 show is FREE to attend and registration is now open at the event website, below. https://smartbuildingsshow.com MORE INFO Smart Buildings Show will cover all key aspects of creating and managing an intelligent building, including; Building automation systems Health & safety Energy efficiency Lighting and controls Security HVAC Smart meters and monitoring Networks and wireless Software Services and support Building automation and design BEMs Regulations and consultancy Workplace and wellbeing September/October 2023 27
