about buildings efficiency is to install one of these systems and begin to focus on equip- ment operation. Data loggers are much cheaper than a whole BMS. A data logger records infor- mation on what is important to the user; whether it is temperature, power usage or the amount of times a piece of equipment turns on and off. Data loggers and BMS systems are important pieces of equipment every building owner should look into.

Real estate icon and chair- man of Equity Group In- vestments , Sam Zell , and Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff, RahmEmanuel, will be among the many keynote speakers headlining the meeting.

During the heating season, electrical costs rise to be 30% higher than baseload usage and 50% of total demand. These increases are caused by the production of heat and hot water. A great way to begin to lessen the load is to begin to track when equipment is being turned on/off and the duration of its operation. This can be done by installing a Building Management System (BMS) or data logger. BMS can control a whole building through a computer. A great way to learn more communities. As the largest of the institute’s events and one of the industry’s premier meetings, the annual ULI Fall Meeting routinely draws nearly 7,000 members and guests, including interna- tionally renowned land use experts representing all land use disciplines. The theme for the meeting, “ULI Works,” will highlight ULI’s impact on the creation of thriving communities for the 21st century. This year’s spe- cial programming will feature sessions on technology and urbanization; coastal develop- ment and the creation of resil- ient communities; demand and market forces; energy and land
