In the Spokane University District\u2019s rapidly developing South Landing expansion area, the Catalyst and Hub pair of partner buildings &#8212; now under construction &#8212; is pioneering in this effort.  Of the two, the five-story Catalyst building, which will be one of the world\u2019s largest zero energy buildings, is already noted for its cutting edge sustainable construction, based on innovative cross laminated timber (CLT). The neighboring four-story Hub building will host the pair\u2019s central energy plant. This central plant will feature advanced energy management capabilities for both buildings, including each building\u2019s extensive photovoltaic arrays plus thermal and electrical energy storage systems. The center\u2019s energy management operations have been optimized by over 40,000 energy model simulations run by McKinstry, which, in partnership with Avista Development, is responsible for building construction and operations.<\/p>\n<p>The Speakers<br \/>\nFeatured speakers for this event will be the two principal engineers responsible for the ongoing development of the Catalyst\/Hub project.   Spokane-based speaker John Gibson is currently the Chief R&amp;D Engineer, as well as Manager of Distribution Systems Operations, at Avista, and holds BS degrees in both Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Civil Engineering from GU, plus a Masters in Engineering Management from WSU.    Seattle-based Nick Edney, CPEng, is currently the Senior Electrical Engineer   at McKinstry, and holds Bachelors\u2019 degrees in both Engineering and in Commerce from the University of Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/events.vtools.ieee.org\/m\/207820\">Register on vTools!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Register on vTools!<br \/>\nThis ambitious collaborative effort is putting Spokane&#8217;s University District on the world map for sustainable building development!<br \/>\nYou are invited to register soon, but due to the upcoming holidays, IEEE Spokane requests you to please check your calendar for conflicts before registering.<br \/>\nInnovators across &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1296,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1296"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1509\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":1503,"date":"2019-08-14T21:10:08","date_gmt":"2019-08-15T04:10:08","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/site.ieee.org\/spokane\/?p=1503"},"modified":"2019-08-14T21:10:08","modified_gmt":"2019-08-15T04:10:08","slug":"concepts-for-building-a-more-secure-industrial-control-system","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/r6.ieee.org\/spokane\/concepts-for-building-a-more-secure-industrial-control-system\/","title":{"rendered":"Concepts for Building a More Secure Industrial Control System"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>How can Industry Manage Threats with a Comprehensive Security Approach?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/events.vtools.ieee.org\/m\/202721\">Register on vTools.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A fully connected enterprise requires a comprehensive approach to industrial security.

It is critical to understand the potential risks and start building security into your industrial automation control systems.<\/p>\n<p>Industrial assets require a defense-in-depth security approach that addresses both internal and external security threats. A defense-in-depth security architecture is based on the idea that any one point of protection \u200bmay\u200b be defeated.
