BIQ Building Intelligence Quotient

1. Jiri Skopek ECD Energy & Environment REALCOMM - June, 2005 BIQ Building Intelligence Quotient

2. Objectives • Present the concept of an Intelligent Building Rating tool • Objectives • How it works • Approach – including certification • Review Green Globes attributes that could be applied to the BIQ tool • Next steps • Note –the purpose is NOT to discuss technicalities. (This requires a dedicated forum)

3. REALITY cost savings functional enhancements (comfort, security, flexibility, reliability) Increased productivity PERCEPTION expensive complex – hard to implement a luxury not “mainstream” Building Intelligence, Reality and Perception • LACK OF AWARENESS • FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN POSITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT

4. Objectives of the BIQ Tool Promote building intelligence integration and products by: • demonstrating the added value they can bring to a property • demystifying implementation of building intelligence INCREASE AWARENESS DISPEL FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN EMPHASIZE: POSITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT

5. BIQ - an online tool Rating and Certification (demonstrates the added value) + Design and Implementation Guidance (demystifies implementation)

6. BIQ concept is based on: • Technology Roadmap for Intelligent Buildings • CABA’s Best Practices Guide for Evaluating Intelligent Building Technologies IS2002-28 • Green Globes Rating Assessment Protocol that is used for: • Integrated design of new buildings • Improving existing buildings (BOMA Go Green) • Facility fit-up (Commercial Interiors) • Emergency management of buildings

22. no no no no no yes yes yes yes yes Building Intelligence Quotient Assessment Pre-design (Planning and Definition) Project Management Tip: This enables them to plan networked sub systems.

23. no no no no no yes yes yes yes yes Building Intelligence Quotient Assessment Pre-design (Planning and Definition) Project Management Tip: Providing information on networked subsystems helps building owners and managers understand options and market additional services to tenants for revenue beyond the lease.

24. no no no no no yes yes yes yes yes Building Intelligence Quotient Assessment Pre-design (Planning and Definition) Project Management Tip: This helps to ensure that building structural sensors will be properly installed during construction for a subsystem to monitor the building structure or systems.

25. no no no no no yes yes yes yes yes Building Intelligence Quotient Assessment Pre-design (Planning and Definition) Project Management Tip: This will enable support for the adoption of networked systems. Unions are a powerful resource in meeting the objective increasing the individual capabilities of their members.
