Jerry Yudelson describes how to use new technologies for monitoring and controlling building operations to promote sustainability in real estate operations.
Traditional Automation does not scale, it’s a hardware model and is too complex, too expensive, too unreliable, too many versions of firmware to support
Switch were interested in how to tackle the really massive sustainable cities developments in Asia, - developments with in excess of 250k residents – we knew our solution could not deliver for that and none of our competitors could deliver for that scale of project

If you want to score, run to where the ball is headed, not to where it is.
Ask yourself and your clients: how green will the built environment be in 2015 to 2020?
What will be the competing buildings over the next 5-10 years?
Non-performing green buildings will pay a penalty in that market!
Green buildings are vital for controlling CO2 emissions
Many buildings do not perform as predicted or as needed
Without reporting actual performance, the entire exercise will be wasted
Energy use best practices metrics are well known; make them your design standards
