Here’s two keynotes we’re excited about:

Dr. John E. Taylor: Engineering Smart Cities: The Power of IoT, Data and Digital Twinning
Approaching the problem through a case study, Dr. Taylor will look at a digital twin of the City of Atlanta, if it were a smart city. He’ll show how spatio-temporal information within a city can be collected from and enabled through the connectivity offered by the Internet of Things (IoT) and virtualization.

Thomas Mueller: The Buildings of the Future are Zero Carbon: How Green Buildings Can Meet Carbon Emissions Targets
As we move toward a carbon-constrained future, Mr. Mueller believes the conversation surrounding building design and retrofitting should move from ‘energy efficiency’ to ‘zero carbon.’

This keynote seminar will look at 16 pilot projects, representing different building types, sizes, and locations, which will achieve the Zero Carbon Certification, and are poised to become the next cycle of innovation in Canadian green building.

150 exhibits + New and Green Products
