Emmanuel FRANCOIS
Smart Buildings Alliance for Smart Cities, MAJ and EnOcean GmbH
At age 59, while the Smart Building has always been at the center of his professional activity, since 2014 Emmanuel FRANCOIS has been chairing the Smart Buildings Alliance for Smart Cities (SBA), which he co-founded in 2012. With nearly 500 members and from now on an international influence, the SBA aims to support, in a very transversal approach, all the actors of the building and the city in their digital mutation combined with the energy transition. It is at the origin of the Ready2Services R2S digital trust reference framework for the Smart Home, Smart Building and the Smart City.
He is also the founding president of the MAJ fund, whose goal is to open a new path, a new social project to respond to current major social issues by repositioning the Human at the heart of transitions and building on digital and new technologies for buildings and cities more frugal and supportive.
Emmanuel FRANCOIS is also head of Western Europe for EnOcean GmbH, which is a key technology for IoT as it is wireless and battery-less for non-intrusive and highly sustainable building instrumentation. He has always been in the electrotechnical environment with general management or sales management successively at Wieland Electric France, Cooper Group, ABB and Schneider Electric. In this capacity he has acquired the conviction of the interest of the gradual introduction of Direct Current (DC) for SmartBuilding and SmartCity, to significantly reduce their carbon footprint and has become one of the promoters and experts worldwide.
Tijdens deze sessie geeft Emmanuel Francois een introductie van The Smart Building Alliance, de partners en de doelen van de alliantie. In het vervolg van zijn lezing gaat Francois in op het R2S Reference framework : A collaborative answer to current challenges of the Smart Building, Place of DC & Digital in the retrofit of buildings en Smart Building, a first milestone of the Smart City.
