About Seminar  (4 modules, 2hrs each)
This course was recorded from a live webinar that may include discussions from attendees. 

This on demand course is designed to bring energy professionals up to speed on the impact of big data and analytics as they apply to energy management. Participants will then learn how data analytics technologies, such as building automation, web services, and middleware, can produce huge energy savings, how to leverage these technologies and, equally importantly, how to ensure that energy projects actually fulfill their expected results. Big data is one of today’s most exciting technology developments. In terms of its impact on the energy field, it has already begun the process of positively transforming the discipline of energy management. Building and facility professionals facing ever-increasing energy and operational costs are sure to benefit from this thoroughly informative and detailed overview of these critical developments in energy management and engineering. 

The program will also be valuable for engineers, designers and managers trying to make sense of, and select from, the myriad of products, solutions, and services now available.Interoperable building systems are an optimal source of data for analytics, and the materials covered in the Online Webinar will provide valuable guidance on the techniques and approaches necessary to achieve this interoperability in buildings and campuses. Also addressed are important trends currently affecting building energy and analytics, such as Project Haystack and the Internet of Things.You will leave this program with valuable and practical new and expanded knowledge which you can apply right away in your efforts to improve your energy management and cost reduction results.
