Monday Live! February 16, 2026

In this session of Monday Live!, Anto Budiardjo and panelists Ken Sinclair, Kimon Onuma, Rick Justis, Jim Lee, Tracy Markie, and others reflect on AHR Expo in Las Vegas and explore what AI acceleration really means for the smarter buildings industry. We go beyond the hype to examine the economics, energy demands, and exponential growth narratives surrounding AI — and what those forces could mean for commercial real estate, system integrators, software development, and the future of work. Key Topics Covered AI revenue growth: From billions to trillions — is exponential scaling realistic? Energy as the gating factor: Data center power consumption and infrastructure limits AI agents and token economics: What is actually being produced and sold? Commercial real estate impacts: Are office buildings at risk? Small buildings vs. large buildings: Where the opportunity lies Precision engineering vs. probabilistic AI Governance, standards, and the role of industry coalitions Field engineering vs. software engineering in an AI-driven world Why domain expertise may matter more than ever A recurring theme: AI may commoditize intelligence — but it does not commoditize expertise. As the cost of AI drops, the value shifts toward those who understand systems, integration, actuation, and the physical realities of buildings. The discussion highlights both disruption and opportunity, including how AI could dramatically increase productivity in engineering, estimation, and software development — while the physical layer of buildings remains essential. The group also explores governance and standards as critical guardrails in an increasingly AI-driven ecosystem, drawing parallels to BACnet, Linux Foundation initiatives, and the Coalition for Smarter Buildings.
