LonMark^® Magazine: European and International Editions
Vol. 5, Issue 1

As 2008 comes to a close we all begin to think about the New Year which brings with it those hard to keep New Year’s resolutions.  Sticking to your resolutions can be difficult but something which is much easier is finding out about the latest developments in the controls industry. The January issue of the LonMark Magazine is the ideal way to keep up-to-date with what’s happening in your industry.

Open bidding with open systems is a hot topic in the multi-building facilities market today. Ensuring competitive bidding on various aspects of a long term master plan is paramount. Good specifications address this by defining the functionality of an open procurement process. This issue will focus on larger, multi-phase projects in which intelligent controls are the foundation of energy savings. Application stories featuring enterprise connectivity, government applications, public sector, and campus enterprise integration will be given priority. Additionally, submissions addressing the specification and contracting process for these applications are encouraged.

Articles, case studies and news items that cover this area will be given editorial priority.

Due to the large number of submissions we are now receiving, we may not always be able to include all articles. When this is the case, priority will be given to LonMark members and advertisers.
