Hello [NAME]
As we head into the festive season, we start December by looking ahead with Chris Irwin of J2 Innovations at how automated system configuring will change the world of building control and make the job of the BMS engineer more interesting. Chris focuses on the FIN open framework software that can read data from any system, regardless of protocol, provided it is communicated over IP using an agreed transport mechanism. The theme of interoperability is continued by Mark Warburton, who discusses the different ways in which KNX can work with other protocols and systems, from the complex to simple analogue and digital signals.
Before he escapes from the cold of the UK, Simon Buddle explains why KNX professionals need to know about humidity and the dew point when installing HVAC systems, in order to protect clients' furnishings from being ruined by condensation.
The View from America this month is very exciting, as Phil Juneau tells us about the inroads KNX is making with the first KNX intelligent building in the USA, namely the ABB Industrial Automation, USA Division HQ in Highland Hills, Ohio.
We also present you with our top stories, events and resources this month, and if that's not enough, there's plenty more at the website. In addition, if you have any news, projects or topics you would like us to consider for publication, do get in touch!
As this is the last newsletter for 2019, the team here at KNXtoday would like to wish you a merry Christmas, happy holidays and a super slide into the new year!
