CABA is offering a repeat of a webinar addressing the topic of intelligent buildings and green buildings (something we here at Waveguide call "bright green" buildings.) For those interested, see the invitation below.

Invitation to Participate – 2nd Presentation
Convergence of Green and Intelligent Buildings (CGIB)
Monday, March 17, 2008 at 3 PM – 4 PM ET
Due to the great demand to attend last week’s webinar and certain technical difficulties as a result,
we are hosting an informational webinar and conference call on Monday, March 17, 2008
CABA is an industry association that promotes advanced technologies for the automation of homes and buildings
in North America. The CABA Intelligent & Integrated Buildings Council (IIBC) is proposing a market positioning
research study “Convergence of Green and Intelligent Buildings” with Frost & Sullivan, a major research
firm for the large building sector. This meeting will educate you on how you can participate in the
upcoming “Convergence of Green and Intelligent Buildings” research project. 
The research initiative will demonstrate the positive environmental impacts of today’s intelligent and integrated building systems and building technology solutions in the following manner:
- Participants will steer research to validate their buildings, technologies,
companies and services as “Green”
- The study will educate stakeholders to view intelligent building technologies
as a way to be “Green”
- Return on Investment (ROI) case studies will show how technologies
can save energy, fuel and water while reducing greenhouse emissions
- Provide a tool to influence end-users, owners, engineers, architects, integrators, etc. of the environmental
and ROI benefits of using intelligent and integrated building systems
- The CGIB Steering Committee will determine the final research deliverable
The key objective of the CGIB research report will demonstrate the green impact of Intelligent Buildings and ROI
on end-users and the environment. The focus points will include measurements on the following criteria:
- CO2 or Greenhouse Gas Emissions (if available)
- Life cycle costs, installation cost, and pay back period
- Energy savings and improved efficiency
- Occupant productivity ratios (if available)
- Performance ratios (business cost)
- Occupant retention rates
- Reduced risk factors
- Indoor Air Environment
The CGIB Steering Committee will be comprised of organization that will fund the research. There will be two levels
of participation. The final report will offer the industry participants the means to showcase integrated systems
technology and contributions towards intelligent and green buildings. It will also highlight to end-users, building
owners, architects, designers and developers how this technology can be incorporated into “Green and Sustainable”
Buildings, providing a great ROI!
