The US Smart Grid Interoperability Panel tasked ASHRAE and NEMA with creating a protocol-neutral Facility Smart Grid Information Model (FSGIM) that would allow for interoperable exchange of information from facility control protocols (like LonWorks) to the up-and-coming Smart Grid.
LonMark members and staff have participated -- along with members of other protocol associations -- to create a first draft; which is now available in an Advisory Public Review: a comment period where the draft is available for download and where several key areas are marked within the draft requesting comments from any interested person, anywhere in the world.
Please join in voicing your opinions and sharing your ideas.
Login is required (to track comments) but ASHRAE/NEMA membership is not required. See the Instructions for details.

If you want to make a difference, or even just want to see what's coming down the road, please take the time to review the draft.
Sincerely,
The LonMark Technical Staff
