🚀 What’s Next for Building Analytics? Insights from SkyPosium 2024 📉 Last week at SkyPosium 2024, our IT Director, Christopher Hartley, and our Data Scientist Shadi B Tabasi, explored the latest in building analytics, data management, and platform innovation. From overcoming fragmented data standards to new security and visualization tools in SkySpark 4, the event highlighted how smarter frameworks and evolving technologies are transforming building operations. Curious how these trends can optimize energy use, minimize downtime, and prepare your building for the future? 💡 👉 Check out our full write-up on the Altura Insights page: https://lnkd.in/gT78fKzN #buildinganalytics #dataframeworks #SkySpark #energyoptimization #AlturaInsights

Amazing company, amazing mission. 👏 Altura congratulates American Honda Motor Company, Inc. for their unwavering commitment to carbon neutrality in the automotive industry. 🚗 We have been proud to serve American Honda Motor Company, Inc. and their 1,000+ dealerships take part in this commitment to excellence in sustainability through the Green Dealer Program (and if you're a Honda dealer that hasn't joined in and begun to reap all of the benefits that being a Green Dealer has to offer, you can check out more information about the program here: https://lnkd.in/g4rSip7Q) 🍃 #GreenDealerProgram #carbonneutrality #automotivesustainability #environmentalexcellence

At this year's SkyPosium, hosted by SkyFoundry, our brilliant data scientist Shadi B Tabasi presented her work on the Xeto Ontology Project, which bridges the gap between industry needs and semantic metadata standards. 🌉 By leveraging Project Haystack and converting its tags into RDF graphs with SHACL validation, we’re enabling better data interoperability and management for buildings and IoT systems. This effort moves us closer to a more connected and intelligent built environment. 🌐🏢 #SkyPosium2024 #Xeto #ProjectHaystack #BuildingAnalytics

Is Your Building Control System Holding You Back? Many commercial buildings are delivered with control systems that are incomplete, inefficient, and expensive to operate. Owners often need help with multiple incompatible technologies across their portfolios, making management a costly headache. The result? 🚧 Office spaces that fail to enhance workflows 😷 Healthcare facilities with unreliable air quality controls 🎓 Educational spaces unfit for modern research 💸 Properties lacking the data and decarbonization plans investors demand The Solution: Altura’s Performance Delivery process bridges the gap between owner expectations and real-world system performance. With detailed design, early testing, and data-driven commissioning, we ensure seamless building technology integration—delivering optimal functionality, cost savings, and enhanced occupant experiences from day one. 🎯 Want to learn how healthcare, education, and commercial portfolios are already succeeding with this approach? Download our white paper today to discover the path to consistent, enterprise-level building performance and enter your next construction project with new-found confidence in building performance delivery. 📩 Or, contact us at hello@alturaassociates.com to get started. #BuildingPerformance #PerformanceDelivery #ConnectedCommissioning #SmartBuildings #DataDriven

👏 Session 1 at #NexusCon2024 in the Strategist's room was a roaring success! 🎛️ We just wrapped up this insightful session on "Rethinking HVAC Control: The Building Automation System Architectures of Tomorrow, Today." 🎯 Our Session Challenge: "What are the key requirements for a modern HVAC Control system, and what is stopping these requirements from becoming more widely adopted?" ☁️ We dove into case studies from Kaiser Permanente, BXP, Inc., 75F, and Jackson Control, learning how legacy systems are starting to be transformed into cloud-native architectures that unlock real-time data analytics, remote monitoring, and IoT integration, both at the building and enterprise level. 👀 It was an eye-opener, tackling key challenges and innovations in modern HVAC control systems. 🗝️ Key takeaways: 👶 Baby steps! 📊 Data, data, and more (clean) data! 📘 And of course, stakeholder education to help bring our client and owner partners along in their Smart Building journey. 🚧 A major highlight was discussing the barriers to wider adoption—vendor lock-in, data integrity, and scalability constraints—and how forward-thinking solutions are paving the way for more resilient, efficient buildings. 🤔 Did you attend our session? What did you think? 🏗️ If you missed it, you'll still have a chance to hear from Altura, with Elliot Alvarez, and E. Gabriel Sandoval with UCSF Health, tomorrow in the "Fixing the Design & Construction Process" session, also in the Strategist's room at 10:15am. #HVACControls #BuildingAutomation #MSI #SmartBuildings #IoT #BAS #DataIntegrity #CloudComputing #InnovationAlways

#NexusCon2024 is almost here! 🥳 We have not 1️⃣, not 2️⃣, but 3️⃣ Alturians headed to Denver to speak at Nexus Labs' inaugural Smart Buildings conference next week 📅 If you are also making your way to Denver for the conference, and you're curious how we are redefining building performance for our clients and the industry at large, check out our sessions: 🎛️ Altura's Systems Lead and Founding Principal, Jim Meacham will be speaking Tuesday morning on Rethinking HVAC Control with our Marketing Manager Sarah Katsikas emceeing the session. Our Performance Delivery expert and Associate Principal Elliot Alvarez is speaking at Wednesday morning's session on Fixing the Design & Construction Process. 🏗️ Both sessions are part of the Strategist Track, which focuses on Driving real-world projects to completion, bridging the gap between the portfolio team and the on-site team, staying ahead of new technologies in the market, and deciphering which solutions will do the most for building performance. 🏢✨⚙️ If you're headed to NexusCon, which sessions do you plan on attending? 👀 #MasterSystemsIntegration #PerformanceDelivery #BuildingPerformance #BuildingEnergy #ConnectedCommissioning #HVAC

As industry pioneers, Altura continues to lead the pack integrating SkySpark into the building commissioning process, helping facilities achieve significant financial and energy savings. 🏗 💰 🤷 Why does SkySpark matter? 🔐 It’s the gateway to securely optimizing and improving building performance by collecting and analyzing operational data in a meaningful way from equipment systems and smart devices throughout your buildings. 🏢 ✨ How do you connect SkySpark to your building? 🎛 Through the BAS. One of Altura’s leading BAS communications protocols with which we integrate SkySpark is Niagara. Niagara is an open automation platform developed by Tridium that acts as the central console for connecting real-time operational data to the people and systems that manage workflows in smart buildings and other aspects of business enterprises. 📊 🏫 Our team has deep experience with both SkyFoundry's SkySpark and Tridium's Niagara in large campus environments, developing standards that reduce costs and enhance ongoing commissioning workflows. Currently, we manage over 1.15 million connected data points in SkySpark, covering 146 million square feet and 172 billion time series data points. 🤯 Partnering with Altura means tapping into our extensive expertise to unlock the full potential of your building through SkySpark – and optimize your building’s energy performance for a more sustainable future. #SkySpark #BuildingOptimization #Decarbonization #SmartBuildings 

#InnovationAlways is a core tenet of Altura's values. We applaud our Environmental Programs expert, Jensen Widtfeldt, in being among the first cohort of Certified Decarbonization Professionals (CDP) awarded by ASHRAE 👏 #Decarbonization is the key to a cleaner future for the building industry, and we support the most effective and meaningful pathways to reducing carbon where we work, play, heal, learn, and live. 💚 #ASHRAE #BuildingDecarbonization
