🎧 #133: How the building automation supply chain works (and when it doesn't)

Episode 133 is a conversation and history lesson with Leroy Walden, a veteran of the building automation system integrator ecosystem in Atlanta, Georgia. We unpacked how the building automation supply chain functions, including the roles of the manufacturers, distributors, and integrators responsible for controlling HVAC systems in major metropolitan areas. And of course, we talked about the downsides and opportunities of that status quo when it comes to implementing smart building technologies. And as we’ve talked about in the past HVAC controls are one silo in the building that operates similarly to the other silos, so the insights in this conversation are applicable to access control, lighting, electrical products, etc. One word of warning, if you think this conversation doesn’t concern you, yet you want to use data from the building in smart building applications or control systems better to save energy, please think again. So without further ado, please enjoy this conversation with Leroy Walden.
