Hello [NAME]

Hello from the KNXtoday team in lockdown. We hope that you are keeping safe and well!

With most people now working from home, and perhaps with more time on their hands, Simon Buddle starts our articles this month with some great advice on how to make the most of the lockdown in terms of your KNX business and skills.

Next, yours truly looks forward to life after lockdown, and puts the case for KNX playing a key role in tackling the climate crisis by saving energy in buildings. This includes two interviews with installers who have used KNX to make impressive efficiencies in commercial buildings.

Light + Building may have been postponed, but Mark Warburton cannot wait to treat us to a selection of launches and previews in the meantime, that you can enjoy from the comfort of home. You can also find more new product announcements in our Spotlight on Spring 2020 Products.

And finally, in his Letter from America. Phil Juneau talks us through interoperability from an OT (Operational Technology) perspective, and discusses how bringing edge computing together with other technologies can result in 20-35% energy reduction in buildings.

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, including a round up of current trading statements on our Coronavirus Updates page. If you have any news, projects or topics you would like us to consider for publication, do get in touch!
