Spotlight: Smart City
Why Cities Need to “Get Smart” About Pollution - When we think about protecting the environment, we often think of faraway issues like melting ice caps or dwindling rainforests. The reality, however, is much closer to home. The World Health Organization estimates that 92 percent of the world’s population doesn’t have access to clean air. This is more than a health problem. The World...

Breaking Down Language Barriers in Smart Buildings
- Have you ever wondered why the buildings that we live and work in aren’t smarter? I have. For example, why can’t the conference room I’m sitting in sense more people entering the room and dynamically increase the airflow through the vents? And why can’t the trash bins in the restroom be equipped with sensors that...
