SAN
RAMON, Calif. - ClimateTalk Alliance is developing an advisory group to help it
reach its goal of the creation of an open communication standard, to drive
interoperability between devices in order to keep up with the demands of the
Smart Grid and consumer push for connectivity.
“With this advisory group, ClimateTalk Alliance will bring several key players
together to help drive the market forward,” said Tim England, chair of the
ClimateTalk Advisory Group. “Industry supported-communication standards reduce
the cost and risk of developing proprietary standards, decrease the need for
wholesalers to carry duplicate inventories, and increase productivity and profitability
for dealers.”
The Advisory Group is a proactive communication channel that enables members to
stay informed while also providing a mechanism to provide observations, advice,
and influence the development of the ClimateTalk standards. Membership is
extended by invitation to key industry leaders from HVAC industry associations,
equipment manufacturers, and channel partners as well as adjacent industries
with expertise in the Smart Grid and connectivity solutions. By providing a
formal mechanism to ensure an inclusive environment, the Alliance hopes to
frame a long-term solution that invites innovation and competitiveness similar
to other industries that have thrived under the adoption of an open
standard.
