Building Value with Intelligence

Track Leader:  Alan Kell
Thursday 5-October-2006

ibX LogoInformation Technology is fundamentally changing the way in which we design, operate and use our buildings. We live in an unpredictable world in which natural resources such as water and land are becoming increasingly scarce. Energy prices are rising rapidly, and requirements to cut carbon emissions are forcing us to review the ways we produce and use energy. Global market competition is driving efficiency in business processes, costs and resource usage. In combination these factors are forcing us to be more progressive about our use of buildings, employing every available intelligent solution to deliver better performing buildings.

ibX Forum will:
- provide a fully integrated proposition connecting supply-side and demand-side value factors;
- deliver a strong European focus featuring real, applied European case studies;
- demonstrate practical tools for business and market value assessment and measurement;
- offer hands-on opportunities to pilot and assess these tools;
- offer opportunities for networking with key European players through ibexcellence;
