    Over the last three years, as the next-generation intelligent building case studies have emerged, it's become apparent that there are very different options in the platform strategies and designs. Device connectivity, high availability, data normalization and aggregation, middleware, data warehousing, analytics, visualization solutions and mobile access are just a few of the big issues to consider when developing an intelligent building strategy. This session will provide a lively debate on the various options and the benefits and risks of each. Beta, VHS or MP4... you decide.

    Location:
    Pavilion 10         		Command and Control - Centralized and Mobile Access Strategies
    At the heart of an intelligent, smart, connected, high performance building strategy is the command center. Once an owner moves beyond a single building, the idea of centralizing operation via a command center starts making more sense. There are examples of large and sophisticated command and control operations centers. However, as mobile devices and access become more sophisticated, they are impacting thinking as to the size and scope of a central operations center. This session will review command center strategies, discuss best practices and debate the impact of mobility on the subject.

    Pavilion 10         		Strategies for Securing Intelligent Building Systems
    As more and more processes become automated and a greater number of devices become accessible via building networks, the need for a sound security strategy becomes more important. Over the last 12 -18 months, there have been a number of embarrassing and potentially dangerous intrusions of not only SCADA devices but also a number of other building system devices on the network. Securing building systems, while at the same time granting required access to a multitude of people, can be a complex task. This session will focus on the potential risks, strategies and technologies that are involved in securing intelligent building systems.

    IB.GENERAL SESSIONS

    Location:
    Paradise North         		Achieving Organizational Alignment through Technology, Automation and Innovation - Seven CBRE Executives Speak Out!
    The management, transactions and use of commercial buildings require an inordinate amount of information exchange. Historically, the businesses processes associated with buildings have been managed by different departments with occasional overlap and need for interaction.

    As technology has advanced at lightening speed, the resultant automated business processes are redefining departmental responsibilities and rewriting workflow. In some cases, this means elimination of some traditional job functions and the creation of new ones. This also means that as the workflow straddles different departments, teams will have to communicate aggressively as they rewrite the operational handbook.

    Today, neither the technology nor the costs are proving to be the inhibitors to transformational automation projects, but rather the people. Career long habits, very strong and compartmentalized business unit structures, breakdowns in communications, a lack of understanding when it comes to technologies capabilities and in some cases fear, are what are holding back transformational organizational changes enabled by the aggressive implementation of automation.

    CBRE will take center stage in the combined Realcomm and IBcon General Session to have a spirited discussion on the importance of Organizational Re-Alignment as influenced by technology, automation and innovation. It is very rare to see executives from one company, representing seven different business functions, on one stage, to discuss as a group, the strategic and transformational impacts that automation can have on a real estate organization. The General Session will feature top leadership from CBRE:

    • Don Goldstein, Global Chief Information Officer
    • Tony Long , President Asset Services
    • Laura O'Brien, SVP, Operations and Special Projects
    • David Pogue, National Director of Sustainability
    • Peter Scarpelli, VP, Global Leader of Energy Services
    • Elie Finegold, SVP, Global Innovation and Business Intelligence
    • Xavier Menendez, Sr. Managing Director, Corporate Services

    Location:
    Paradise North         		975,000 NYC Buildings – Embracing Innovation and Setting Global Benchmarks
    If there is one city that is recognized around the globe it is New York City. Known as the epicenter of finance, business, fashion and the arts, it is also known for something else…its buildings. With one of the most iconic skylines in the world, NYC and the surrounding burrows represent some of the newest and oldest buildings in the United States.

    The executive in charge, Robert LiMandri, Commissioner for the NYC Buildings department leads an agency with more than 1,200 inspectors, engineers, plan examiners and other professionals whose primary mission is to ensure public safety at 975,000 buildings.

    Commissioner LiMandri, whose real estate career includes working with industry leaders such as Real Foundations and Jones Lang LaSalle, now works with Mayor Bloomberg to keep NYC on top. His unique skill set combines his real estate experience with a comprehensive understanding of technology, automation and innovation as it applies to our industry.

    The Commissioner will showcase the various real estate projects and initiatives in the New York City area that clearly demonstrate this region’s understanding of the potential of technology, automation and innovation. An example of this innovation includes: “The Development Hub,” a state-of-the-art facility that will allow for electronic submission of digital construction plans, virtual plan reviews and inter-agency collaboration.

    Commissioner LiMandri will discuss this initiative as well as others that clearly demonstrate New York City’s commitment to moving FAST FORWARD – in their continual efforts to Transform Real Estate Operations through Technology, Automation and Innovation!

    Pavilion 11         		Data Grab - Different Strategies of Acquiring Data from Disparate Building Systems
    The beginning of the building automation process begins with gathering the data from a multitude of devices. Whether analog cameras, a legacy utility meter, an outdated access control device or an old HVAC system, accessing the data is not always easy. To make matters more complicated, another issue is whether the data comes from the automation controller or the device itself. The bottom line is that very early on in the system design process, these "data grabbing" strategies need to be defined. In addition, data normalization and standardization will also be discussed.

Over the years, we have seen Tron, Smart Cities and others with contemporary examples in projects like Digital Media City, New Songdo, Lavasa and Living PlanIT. In recent times we have seen an increase in the "lists" that name the smartest, most intelligent cities in the world. The big question remains... is there anything beyond the marketing? This session will review the multitude of smart and intelligent city projects around the world and try to uncover what is myth and what is reality.

The bottom line is that the performance of our building systems drifts over a period of time and despite great technologies, they never seem to fully deliver on the promise of efficient operations. Is it the systems, our people or our processes? So the question is: "How can we discern what a building is capable of and how can it be optimized?" This session will provide a lively debate on the topic of commissioning intelligent systems.

    Over the last few years, a great deal of discussion involving intelligent buildings has been centered on costs and financial justification. Many owners who are developing new buildings or retrofitting old ones are quick to point out that the capital expenditures required for a smarter building inhibit moving forward with many of the technologies. This session will explore the methods used to measure the financial results of a smart building and will dig deep into truly understanding the "life-cycle costs" and how this comprehensive approach can demonstrate very favorable results.

    Monitoring and managing intelligent building systems is simply one part of the equation and integrating these systems with automated business processes is another. There is a tremendous opportunity for hyper-efficiency when these two worlds are united. Whether it is a utility meter in a tenant space talking to a rate table and ending up in a tenant bill or a burnt out lightbulb automatically communicating with a work order request system, the opportunities for efficiency are endless. This session will uncover relevant case studies and look into the future of this extreme integration.
