Command and Control Centres - The Beginning Of A New Model?

This presentation will look at whether Facility Managers with paper work order
tickets, security-monitoring rooms in basements and HVAC personnel in every facility
could be replaced with Building Operation Centres. Consisting of multiple buildings
\"networked\" together with centralised, remote monitoring of security, HVAC and
ultimately, all aspects of building operations, these advanced facilities are
rapidly becoming the standard. This session will include case studies of leading
edge Building Operations Centres and illustrations of how some visionary real estate
companies are making the strategic transition to this innovative and cost-effective
business model.

Breakfast Keynote Day 2- Global Best Practices - Intelligent Buildings

The presentation will begin with innovation in the built environment and global best
practices, but will then focus on Intelligent Buildings. With the emergence of IP as
the predominant communications protocol, the entire landscape of Intelligent
Buildings has changed dramatically. During the last 4 years Realcomm has uncovered
some of the most forward thinking, provocative, technically advanced and visionary
commercial projects in the world. This journey will demonstrate new standards for
what is possible.

Mike has demonstrated a strong track record of turning vision into reality, through
both promoting and delivering Intelligent Buildings and an involvement in various
high-profile committees such as: The British Council of Shopping Centres, British
Standards Institution (BSI), and a long time involvement with Intelligent Building
Group (IBG), for which he is its General Secretary.

Realcomm Europe 2008 brings together the real estate technology industry and the
European business community to discuss and debate global best practices that pertain
to technology, automation and innovation in the real estate industry.

The theme of this first year event will be REmagination - New Technology, New Ideas,
New Times. "REmagination" combines new ideas and innovative solutions in real estate
with imagination - to transform the industry into an efficient and visionary
discipline.
