Building owners, developers, designers, architects, engineers and other building practitioners will learn a.) how to comply with Title 24, b.) key aspects to related technology, c.) how sensors can boost energy savings, and d.) understanding how these measures affect the building design, construction and occupational comfort, health and safety.
