Mission Statement:
“ To encourage the development,
promotion, pursuit and
understanding of integrated
systems and automation in homes
and buildings.”
Definition of Intelligent
Building Technologies
“ The use of integrated technological
building systems, communications and
controls to create a building and its
infrastructure which provides the owner,
operator and occupant with an
environment which is flexible, effective,
comfortable and secure.”

Intelligent Buildings (www.caba.org/trm)
Challenges...
•

•
•
•
Financial impacts/life cycle costs.
Integrated design/build process.
IBS reliability.
Education and changing practices.
Competing technologies.
Standards/protocols are not interoperable.
FACILITIES AS PROFIT CENTERS
“Today, facilities are viewed as strategic
resources... elevating the facility
manager to the role of asset manager
supporting the organization's overall
business goals. ... managing facilities
as a true profit center.”
(From an E-mail promoting a new book “Total Productive Facilities
Management - By Richard Sievert)
Perspective
Building owners are looking for:
 Building controls to utilize the infrastructure of
their existing intranets and Internet.
 Facilities to be a data source to help them
better run their business or organization.
 Easy integration of all facility management
tasks so that they can operate more efficiently.

INTERNET STANDARDS
• Internet standards (Web Services) are the future.
These include:
– Physical - Ethernet, TCP/IP.
– Human readable - HTML, JAVA, Active X.
– Machine readable - XML, SOAP, SNMP, SMTP.
• Web pages for user interface.
• IT data standards for open communications between
devices.
These standards will dominate in the future!

CABA XML/Web Services
(oBIX) COMMITTEE
• CABA created the XML/Web Services (oBIX) Committee
to look at using Internet standards for interoperable
facility management in April, 2003.
• Presently there are 90 members involved from around
the world!
• The Committee has five working groups:
– Data Model, Services, Security, Network Management
and Marketing.
• The goals are to move quickly and create non-binding
guidelines - oBIX (Open Building Information Xchange).
