In this episode of ‘Expanding the Possible’, our guests are Akira Jones, Director of HH Angus’ Digital Services Division, and Kelly Henderson, Associate Director of the Angus Connect Division. Akira and Kelly join us to discuss the importance of establishing a smart buildings technology strategy at the initial stage of the design process, in order to avoid the risk of added cost and missed outcomes.
Episode 10, “Embedding Smart Buildings Technology Strategy Early in the Design Process”
As designers and engineers of buildings, the architecture, engineering and construction industry (AEC) has an outsize role to play in ensuring the success of sustainable development. At HH Angus, we believe that decarbonizing the built environment is an area where we can make significant contributions, both from the perspective of the buildings’ energy efficiency as well as the energy source that the buildings use for heating and cooling. On this episode of Expanding the Possible, Nick Stark, Philip Schuyler and Mike Hassaballa of HH Angus discuss sustainable engineering and the decarbonization of the built environment.

In a world where energy consumption is a major concern, Justin Lau and Sabari Manoharan, mechanical engineers from HH Angus’ Energy Division, discuss the importance of energy master planning for multi-building and campus infrastructure. They highlight how an energy master plan can help achieve goals like reducing carbon emissions, lowering utility costs, and improving reliability and resiliency. Justin and Sabari explain that energy master planning provides the opportunity to consider current and future expected building uses and loads, up-front capital availability, and timelines to establish appropriate phasing of projects, level of planning and detail design, along with meaningful cost estimates and analysis. They also share some interesting examples of how they had helped clients achieve their energy goals.

Machine learning has progressed from science fiction to fact. The AEC industry is increasingly exploring and using it to improve productivity and deliver better design and construction outcomes. On this episode of Expanding the Possible, guest Gary Chang, a data scientist at HH Angus, talks about the latest advances and opportunities in the application of machine learning to optimizing building design and building operations automation.
Take an audio tour of our AWS Summit Toronto DevChat with HH Angus’ Augusto Valdivia. Augusto recaps his DevChat about building scalable data lakes and discusses how we’re integrating new technologies such as 3D dashboards and IoT into project solutions.
