IoT and AI Are Making Buildings Smarter, More Efficient, and Energy-Conscious.
Today’s guest is Kit Gaines from Leviton, a global leader in electrical wiring devices, network infrastructure, and connected building solutions. Kit works at the intersection of power, communications, and smart building technology, helping contractors, designers, and owners navigate the rapidly evolving world of converged building systems.
In this conversation, we discuss the fascinating history of Ethernet and its impact on modern building convergence. Data-driven decision making is reshaping the built environment and expanding the role of the electrical contractor.
We talk about real-world applications, the growing importance of coordination across trades, and why cybersecurity and data infrastructure are becoming just as critical as traditional power systems in modern buildings.
