The document provides an analysis of solid state lighting technologies and recommendations for transitioning to LED lighting. It includes a review of LED basics, a competitive technology review of induction vs LED analyzing over 35 performance parameters, measurement data from LED product testing, and financial assumptions and projections for LED lighting systems including net present value, payback period, and internal rate of return. The analysis aims to provide an unbiased recommendation for the most ideal and economic LED solution for the application.
LED backlighting for large format advertising billboardsandyclark
By ensuring that our LED outdoor display products always incorporate the latest LED technology, we can maximise performance and minimise the payback time of the investment. Our LED systems are now more energy efficient, brighter and faster to install. Compared to 12 months ago, payback time for a retrofit has reduced from 14 months to 12 months. This presentation highlights the energy saving impact of the latest LED technology for advertising displays.
This was the first training manual instrumental and developed by Colin Koh in 2001 to provide basic energy audit knowledge for manufacturing customers in Singapore.

Why facility managers are crucial to introducing sustainabilityJohn Machado
As technology becomes more accessible than ever, sustainability initiatives are becoming exponentially easier for companies to implement. Targets are being put in place by companies, motivated by factors like climate awareness, customer expectations or regulations being set by governmental bodies. At the centre of this nexus of change stands the facility manager, making it possible to conceptualise and implement these plans.
Make an impact on your environmental balance sheet:
1. Adopt a clear plan that is simple to measure and communicate to stakeholders.
2. Reduce your carbon footprint and environmental impact.
3. Improve public, market and leadership efficacy perceptions of your company.
4. Instill pride in employees, who know that their company is taking real steps forward to conserve energy.
Energy management to-date is far too complex. There are a lot of moving pieces, but the solutions available to help you manage them all just underscore the complexity at hand. Given this difficulty, it’s no wonder that energy remains a top-five cost item for organisations. Today’s technology, however, is taking the complex and difficult and making it simple and easy. And simple and easy energy management is translating to a stronger bottom line for businesses.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Implications and Recommendations
Market transformation technologies like solid state lighting can create a significant change
to your operations. We summarize measured results from your lighting demonstration and
address the implications to make prudent recommendations on the right system going
forward. Because LED lighting and adaptive control technologies are application specific,
our review includes an analysis all lighting technologies today to produce an unbiased
recommendation that includes the most ideal business solution for the application.
Competitive Technology Review (Induction versus LED)
We provide a complete analysis of lighting systems looking at over 35 critical performance
parameters. Solid state lighting is a more expensive technology upfront but offers great
promise for reducing energy use and operating expense. It is important to remember that
some aspects of the technology are still evolving, including new lighting standards, whereas
the need for businesses to cut energy and maintenance costs is more immediate.
Our competitive review provides the tools to evaluate and compare what manufacturer’s
product makes the best economic sense and within the context of
your business objectives.
Our tools include a comprehensive way to compare system performance for the
application so you can make critical decisions before products are installed for
evaluation.
3. LED Basics
LEDs are more complex than traditional lighting. It is an electromechanical system
that includes semi-conductor light sources, provisions for heat transfer, electrical
control, optical conditioning, mechanical support, and protection, as well as
aesthetic design elements. Because the LEDs themselves are expected to have
long life, all of these other components, adhesives, sealants, solder joints and
other materials must be equally long-lived. To the extent they are not, they will
limit useful life.
Our training covers topics from the basics, to more intermediate and advanced
education required to understand today’s environment that will make solid state
lighting successfully adopted in the marketplace.
4. Measurement Data
Our measurement data includes a comprehensive performance evaluation of lighting
technology. Our reports include both standard and case specific measurements.
