NSCA LAUNCHES CONFERENCE AND SHOWCASE

NSCA will bring together architects, design professionals, building owners, and IT decision makers who are interested in a building's technical services and structural design qualities at the new Connected Buildings Conference, which will be held March 16, 2007, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., in conjunction with the NSCA Expo 2007.

The conference agenda will focus on enabling technology as a service for the intelligent building. Attendees will learn how employing technology will generate additional revenue streams; improve health, safety, and security; and enable workplace productivity. To complement the day of education, the conference will offer a tour of the Intelligent Building Services Showcase, where attendees can participate in interactive applications demonstrating IP-enabled automation, monitoring, and detection, among other things.
