As part of our Virtual Education Conference (VEC) Essential Learning for Unconventional Times, you will have the opportunity to hear from a group of industry leaders on technology systems and the emerging trends impacting how buildings are designed, constructed and operated in the future.
The session “New Automation Systems Are Changing How We Design, Build and Operate Buildings” will identify new technologies and applications that are impacting our roles in how building systems are installed, commissioned and operated to improve first costs, lifecycle costs and the overall user experience. There will also be an interactive discussion with Manufacturer members and MCAA contractors to address audience questions, explore the impacts on our roles in the building lifecycle and provide feedback and insights with leaders from three of the largest building system manufacturers in the industry.
