FIABCI Rendez-vous #1: Smart Buildings and the case story of The Edge building in Amsterdam
Erik Ubels, the visionary behind the smartest and most sustainable building in the world, is the guest speaker of the first FIABCI Rendez-vous episode. Currently the owner and senior consultant at MetisReal/Ubels BV, Mr. Ubels began his professional life at Royal Philips Electronics as an Electronics Product Engineer. While studying computer science he moved on to KPMG and later continued his career at Deloitte, where he was part of the team responsible for the first Global Digital Audit System.
