Manufacturing Education Series: IT Hardware & Electronics
The United Nations projects $91B in lost market value due to insufficient electronic recycling. Electronic devices contain a number of valuable materials such as gold and copper, and only a fraction is recovered in an environmentally sound way. Adopting circular business models presents a unique opportunity for businesses to create value, lower impact and generate profitability. In our fourth education series for manufacturers, we’ll discuss ways to automate electronic lifecycle decisions, incorporate product life extension (PLE) designs and ways to plan ahead for end-of-life.

The Building Decarbonization Imperative: Reducing Carbon Emissions with Digital Power Technologies, Digitization, and Automation
Companies worldwide have established net-zero carbon targets in line with the latest climate science. However, to align with the Net Zero Scenario set by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, carbon emissions from building operations must be cut in half, requiring all new buildings and retrofits to be zero-carbon-ready by 2030. On the front lines of this challenge are Facility Managers, the super heroes for ensuring net-zero buildings. This webinar will dive into opportunities, process and solutions designed to guide them on path to reduced carbon emissions in buildings. They will also explore methodologies, technologies and services that can help reduce energy use and operational carbon up to 35%.

Data Standards from the Ground Up
Data Standards from the Ground Up
Insights from buildingSMART and OSCRE
buildingSMART and OSCRE are two of the industry’s principal data standards organizations. The organizations share a similar footprint in Canada, the US and the UK addressing a continuum of standards across the asset life cycle. Collectively we link design, construction and intelligent buildings to the larger data-driven real estate world. This panel includes senior leaders from both organizations who will discuss how integrated data standards efforts benefit the industry and key stakeholders.
