 Emphasize the total benefits  Education of owners/operators, architects, engineers and qualified installers  Standards and protocols must evolve to promote interoperability  Adoption of a communications infrastructure (Division 17)  Stimulate demonstration projects  Increase awareness of the benefits of IBT  Document economic advantages  Develop reference examples

Deliverables to date: Assist the large building industry to understand the strengths and overall features of the building control communication protocols that are available for use in designing and implementing an “Intelligent Building”. 1.Building Control Network Protocols Whitepaper – Assist the large building industry to understand the strengths and overall features of the building control communication protocols that are available for use in designing and implementing an “Intelligent Building”. Develop a guide to assist building developers to select and install equipment that enhances a large building. 2.Best-Practices Guide for Evaluating IBT Whitepaper - Develop a guide to assist building developers to select and install equipment that enhances a large building. Assist the large building industry to understand the use and benefits of ‘Middleware’ to the building industry 3.Middleware Whitepaper – Assist the large building industry to understand the use and benefits of ‘Middleware’ to the building industry

Current Activities: Develop an online tool to assign a “Building Intelligence Quotient –BIQ” to a building. The aim is to increase market penetrability of intelligent building technology with building owners and designers and the real estate industry by demonstrating value and providing guidance. 1.Intelligent Building Rating System Develop an online tool to assign a “Building Intelligence Quotient –BIQ” to a building. The aim is to increase market penetrability of intelligent building technology with building owners and designers and the real estate industry by demonstrating value and providing guidance. Develop an online tool to analyze the individual operating and maintenance costs and develop supporting documentation for each cost to lend credibility to final net present value (NPV) comparisons. 2.Life-Cycle Costs Analysis Tool Develop an online tool to analyze the individual operating and maintenance costs and develop supporting documentation for each cost to lend credibility to final net present value (NPV) comparisons. Transform the criteria identified in Phase 1 into an online analytical tool that can be applied objectively, without value judgments, for evaluating technology options that can result in optimal choices. 3.Best-Practices Guide – Phase II Transform the criteria identified in Phase 1 into an online analytical tool that can be applied objectively, without value judgments, for evaluating technology options that can result in optimal choices.

Current Activities (cont): Document measurable benefits from intelligent building technologies implementations. Identify a building where “real” measurements can be documented – where the Technology Roadmap can be “ever-greened”. 4.Demo Project Document measurable benefits from intelligent building technologies implementations. Identify a building where “real” measurements can be documented – where the Technology Roadmap can be “ever-greened”.
