The IBcon Smart Building Best Practice Showcase is an annual event held at the Realcomm | IBcon conference where real estate leaders present their most innovative, technology driven commercial and corporate real estate projects. These projects demonstrate leading-edge technologies and vision for intelligent and adaptive design that is transforming the next generation of IT-enabled real estate. The Weekly News Briefing will feature a unique Showcase project each week.
Sinclair Digital is pushing the boundaries of energy networks and efficiency in buildings using digital electricity and PoE power. The Autograph Hotel retrofit story began in a building that is nearly 100 years old, as Sinclair was exploring the capabilities of LED lighting using low voltage DC power. What started a way to overhaul energy and lighting became a framework for using PoE to change electrical installations completely. This technology creates next-gen smart, networked buildings that not only enhance user experience, but also improve costs and operations for large commercial buildings.
The hotel was used as a technology lab, a fully connected site where every device has an IP address and AI is applied based on data gathered. Further developments with industry partners include an open source IP-based system for the BMS, utilizing an interactive GUI-based system for device communication and combining them to create a digital twin on a common platform, and much more.
