Carrier and Automated Logic Corporation recently funded two CABA Landmark Research Projects, in conjunction with other leading companies and associations in the connected buildings industry. The first research project, Intelligent Building Energy Management Systems, will examine the in-depth challenges and opportunities associated with energy management systems in intelligent buildings. The next research project, Intelligent Buildings and COVID-19, will provide actionable information on how building technologies can be leveraged to create safer, healthier and more productive work environments in buildings post-pandemic. Troy Maeder will serve as a member of the Steering Committees for both projects.

“CABA is extremely fortunate to welcome an outstanding individual with more than three decades of experience in the building automation industry,” said Ron Zimmer, CABA President & CEO. “Troy has a unique vantage point on the development of opportunities within the connected buildings technologies sector, having served in a variety of industry leadership roles.”
