4 Course Description The IoT is creating a huge buzz in energy management, but remains a somewhat nebulous concept. This presentation will start with the foundation of what the IoT is, and how it relates to buildings. Topics will cover tools available on the market, examples of their features, benefits and pitfalls and how the IoT can enable ongoing Cx. 4

21 Product limitations Security Privacy No available standards Interoperability between products will be challenging Legacy system integration 21

22 Product Limitations - Interoperability the BACnet-LonMark struggle for the hearts and minds of building automation users is far from over. - ACHR News, April 3, 2000 the ultimate prize is to become the software platform upon which all vertical applications in the Internet of Things will be built. - TechCrunch,

23 Consumer Experience [Acme s] servers are proving to be unreliable When they work they are great! But in the last 6 days the servers have been down 2 days. Yes the [devices] work even when the system is down but all other integration or remote access DO NOT work. No IFTTT, no off from work, no integration. HOLD off for now, don't make my mistake and invest over $... in a system that isn't ready for market yet. - Amazon Review 23
