In this episode, Andy Carr, a former removal company owner, discusses how he began within the industry over 50 years ago from the age of 10/11, as a lift boy at weekends for his father's company Romford Office & Commercial (ROC). Andy is a former (BAR) Commercial Moving Group chairman, and today is still very much involved within the industry, being a BAR inspector, a QSS auditor, the lead judge in the (BAR) Commercial Mover of the Year competition, and a practicing business coach and consultant, under his company The Moving Shop. Andy has had several challenges within the industry, a major warehouse fire in 1988 which totally destroyed everything the company had built, clearing the Commercial Union floors of the Baltic Exchange Building shortly after the Saint Mary Axe (London) bombing on April 10th, 1992 (where incidentally Andy and a crew were working an hour before the bomb went off!), and becoming an auditor for QSS. The one thing Andy would like to change from his moving past is to have not grown by acquisition, which was a recommendation from his bank! Andy has a couple of highpoints of being within the industry, firstly, winning Commercial Mover of the Year award at the same time as winning East London Growth Business of the Year, and secondly, becoming chairman of the (BAR) Commercial Moving Group, where during his tenure he introduced the quality standard for commercial moving (BS 8522). The one thing Andy would like to change within the industry is to see it recognised as a profession, as it is in so many other countries. The advice Andy would give himself just starting out within the industry again is network, by attending BAR area meetings, conferences & seminars, and getting involved. In the next 5 years Andy hopes his days on the road are over, however he still wants to continue offering his coaching, as this can be provided remotely. Industry wise, Andy wants the solicitors and conveyancers to get their act into gear and sort out the completions (for the domestic market), and for the CMG (Commercial Moving Group, or soon to be WRG - Workplace Relocation Group) to be more recognised by FM's (Facility Managers). Outside of the industry Andy is a keen West Ham fan, he used to play golf and would like to take it up again. Andy has a passion for cooking, enjoys country walks and he together with his wife volunteer at the village community shop. And as always, we end Moving Matters with a funny moving story, in fact three, plus Andy tells a few during this episode too. Enjoy!

Im Fokus stehen die Herausforderungen, die Gebäudebetreiber im Zusammenhang mit Wasserschäden und Wasserhygiene meistern müssen, sowie die IoT-Lösungen, die REHAU und grandcentrix entwickelt haben, um diese Probleme zu adressieren.Folge 141 auf einen Blick (und Klick):(05:27) Herausforderungen, Potenziale und Status quo – So sieht der Use Case in der Praxis aus(20:01) Lösungen, Angebote und Services – Ein Blick auf die eingesetzten Technologien(27:50) Übertragbarkeit, Skalierung und nächste Schritte – So könnt ihr diesen Use Case nutzenZusammenfassung der PodcastfolgeWasserschäden in Gebäuden, sei es durch plötzliche Rohrbrüche oder schwer erkennbare Mikro-Leckagen, verursachen weltweit jedes Jahr Milliarden an Reparaturkosten. Für Facility Manager und Gebäudebetreiber bedeutet das nicht nur hohe Kosten und aufwändige Schadensbehebungen, sondern auch langfristige Probleme wie Schimmelbildung, die zu ernsthaften Gesundheitsrisiken führen können. REHAU hat in Zusammenarbeit mit grandcentrix ein Wassermanagementsystem entwickelt, das speziell darauf ausgelegt ist, diese Probleme zu lösen. Dabei stehen präventive Maßnahmen wie die Früherkennung von Leckagen und die Überwachung der Wasserqualität im Vordergrund. Durch den Einsatz smarter Sensoren und einer benutzerfreundlichen App können Gebäudebetreiber in Echtzeit auf potenzielle Gefahren hingewiesen werden und sofortige Maßnahmen ergreifen, um größere Schäden zu vermeiden.Zusätzlich ermöglicht das System eine detaillierte Analyse des Wasserverbrauchs, was angesichts steigender Wasserkosten und der wachsenden Notwendigkeit eines nachhaltigen Ressourcenmanagements immer wichtiger wird. Die Integration von IoT-Technologie in die Gebäudetechnik bietet nicht nur unmittelbare Sicherheitsvorteile, sondern unterstützt auch langfristig eine effiziente, kostensparende Verwaltung von Immobilien.REHAU und grandcentrix zeigen in dieser Episode, wie sie den Übergang von reaktiven Maßnahmen hin zu einem proaktiven, datengestützten Wassermanagement ermöglichen.-----Relevante Folgenlinks:Madeleine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-mickeleit/)Tias (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiaskruegel/)Michael (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-rehm-5b63a0242/)Toni (https://www.linkedin.com/in/toni-felsner-40921871/)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen

Hey there! Welcome to Episode 418 of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast with Phil Zito. In this episode, we dive deeper into building automation systems (BAS) for facility management. We cover topics like the purpose and objectives of implementing a BAS, its components, protocols, benefits, and some real-world examples. If you're new here, we have 417+ episodes for you to explore at smartbuildingsacademy.com. So, grab a drink, sit back, and let's talk building automation! We kick off by defining a building automation system, which is an overlay of a control system, providing visualization and control of those control systems through a multi-layered architecture. We dive into the four-tier architecture, which includes the server layer, supervisory devices, field controller layer, and sensor actuator level. This architecture is common across all building systems like lighting, access control, and audio-visual, making it super important to understand. Next, we chat about BACnet, the most common protocol for building automation systems. It helps different controllers from various manufacturers communicate with one another by creating a common data model and communication aspects for both serial and IP networks. So there you have it! A quick summary of episode 418, where we explore the fascinating world of building automation systems.
