Title: Digital City Testbed Center: Using campus testbeds to help cities, companies and residents assess smart city innovation
Abstract: Digital technologies hold both great promise and serious challenges for cities, their residents and companies. We have created a network of single-owner campuses (academic, corporate and nonprofit) in the Cascadia region of Portland, Seattle and Vancouver BC, where smart city innovation can be evaluated before or in tandem with being deployed in city neighborhoods and business districts. Such an approach works best when city governments are partners. Starting with two campuses in Portland and one in Vancouver, we are setting up "Digital Campus Corridors," assemblages of up to half a dozen co-located technologies where questions of data management, interoperability, privacy and ethics can be explored. Initial focal topics are public education about smart cities, accessibility for populations with limited mobility, vision and/or hearing, and resilience to seismic and climate change risks. The talk will present examples of the questions and technologies currently being investigated, and directions for future expansion.

Title: The Power of the Internet of Things: Harnessing IoT for Building Efficiency
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) addresses challenges in building management across a portfolio easier and economical. IoT for real-time data monitoring reduces waste, remotely controls and manages equipment, and increases energy efficiency. This presentation will highlight specific applications where implementing IoT with certain equipment within the building system can help both engineers and property managers collect and monitor real-time data, remotely manage equipment, and optimize building performance.
