CONFERENCE FOCUS
See the LONWORKS platform in action. Discussions will address the
impetus for a Florida School District to change from non-open systems
to LONWORKS technology district-wide. Also, a live demo of the i.LON
over the Internet to the classrooms will show how the technology is
improving the comfort of the students and teachers. We will actually
take you into a classroom (over the Internet) to adjust the VAV set points
just as the teachers do from their own computers.

platform as a cost-effective, high performance alternative to PLCs in
