We are excited to announce that the Spring 2023 Connections Magazine is in development and we are issuing a Call for Contributed Articles from the community providing Haystack-compatible products and solutions around the world. It is scheduled to be published in March 2023. Connections Magazine, published bi-annually, documents how the Project Haystack community is applying or implementing the Haystack Tagging methodology in the building and facilities management industry. Facility owners, operators, managers and service companies recognize that a standardized approach to semantic data modeling is key to overcoming the hurdles related to effectively using the data produced by the built environment.

AHR Expo - Educational Session

February 6, 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Location: B309

Speakers: Alexander Rohweder and Richard McElhinney, Project Haystack 

Data has never been more at the forefront within our built environment than today. Its role in managing and operating our buildings and facilities is no longer a nice to have but rather it is a must-have.

This session looks at the latest with Haystack 4, highlights some of the organization’s working group’s latest initiatives, and profiles two recent use cases where Haystack was an integral part of delivering outcomes. Furthermore, the session will provide guidance on how to make new and legacy products, systems, and applications off-the-shelf Haystack compatible; and how to leverage the available open-source libraries and documentation for that.

Today, we are proud to announce a new Associate Member company has joined the organization. Please join us in welcoming Nanjing Chinwell Technology Co. Ltd. to our mission of expanding the standards for semantic modeling methodology and building on the tagging libraries for more and more applications. Nanjing Chinwell Technology Co. Ltd. is based in the Jiangsu Province of China.

Nanjing Chinwell Technology Co. Ltd. is offering an asset operations management solution, "BuildingOS/and Carbon Cloud", that provides every building maintenance and energy conservation service team with the tools and information they need to operate more efficiently.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are now in demand! Building tenants increasingly want their landlords to offer them opportunities to recharge their EVs. According to McKinsey, “The electric-vehicle market in 2030 will require more than 55 million chargers in buildings, consuming at least 525 TWh per year.”

Data. Our New Asset.

Thank you to everyone that has supported Haystack Connect 2022, where technologists and executives from smart buildings, smart cities, and the IoT talk about the value of data for increased asset and energy efficiency. Together, we elaborated on the challenges of seamless data access and interoperability and how the Project Haystack standard is providing solutions.

Haystack Connect has served as a technical milestone for the dozens of working groups showcasing the progress they have made on the standard over the past years, as well as for industry leaders to educate us on the benefits being provided to the industry as a whole.
