Survey of 50 Building Industry LeadersPrimary Characteristics
Definition: A building and its infrastructure which
provides the owner, operator and occupant with an environment which is flexible, effective, comfortable and secure through the use of integrated technological building systems, communications and controls.
• Government and other industry agencies• Real Estate developers• Building Owners / Operators• Architects• Design engineers• Construction industry• Building equipment and system suppliers • Technology developers• Building occupants/end users
Intelligent Buildings Technologies can incorporate:• Fire and life safety systems• Heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC)• Elevators and escalators• Access control systems and security systems;• Lighting management• Energy management systems• Telecommunications• IT infrastructure• Community infrastructure• End user services
• Cost - who will pay?• Lease structures• Public education • Technology “silos”• Not all stakeholders aware of benefits• Codes & standards do not always support integrated
& intelligent processes• “Rush” to judgment & short-term solutions• “Real-time” monitoring & diagnostic tools not
available on all sub-systems• Tradition• Education / Training for industry professionals
“Although we as an industry have said the words before, wehave never reached our potential of providing intelligence orintegration in our buildings.
Ken SinclairAutomatedBuildings.comMay 2002
…As an industry, we must work harder and faster to educatesophisticated owners and designers as to the new capabilitiesof our industry, while learning about how they perceive ourinvolvement in their corporate enterprise. To achieve thesegoals it is necessary to create new relationships with specializedbuilding integration and intelligence designers to explorepossibilities with the owners’ data enterprise.”

Intelligent & Integrated Buildings ConferenceDecember 2-3 Toronto“An international conference that will focus on leading-edgeintelligent and integrated buildings technology and information systems for the commercial building sector.”
"Assist the large building industry understand the strengths and overall features of the building control communication protocols that are available for use in designing and implementing an Intelligent Building.
This will be accomplished by developing a non-biased, technical exposé and general questions geared to assist the non-technical end user establish Intelligent Building direction."
• Promote and orchestrate awareness of the capabilities and benefits of middleware to the Intelligent and Integrated Building Council (IIBC) and building industry.
• Enhance the relationship between key building industry stakeholders and the community of technical companies that produce building automation middleware.
• Improve the business environment for middleware solutions in the building industry market.
• Serve as conduit to facilitate the appropriate elements of the IIBC mission.
