| Smart Buildings Workshop – Unstructure Your Thinking |
It
was only 150 years ago that elevators replaced stairs in office buildings.
It was 80 years ago that air conditioning changed the working environment
for office workers. And 25 years ago the computer age came roaring
in bringing in a new era of buildings. Buildings are no longer
just a structure to be worked in but have become an integrated business
tool. Johnson Controls, a leader in smart building technology, is
hosting a workshop and luncheon that will unstructure your thinking about a building’s capabilities and contributions to a business–security,
product quality, productivity, employee retention. Included in the
workshop is a tour of Johnson Controls Headquarters facility in Milwaukee
that showcases smart building and green building technology. |
