The first ever "CABA Intelligent Building Ranking Tool workshop/forum" will be held April 12 and 13, 2004 at the Adam's Mark Hotel, co-located with BuilConn 2004. The Intelligent Building Ranking System workshop/forum is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. Central time, April 12 and continue April 13, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The Intelligent Building Ranking Tool is intended to assist building owners/managers and the real estate industry to develop a Building Intelligence Quotient (BIQ). The workshop in Dallas will determine the relative values for a list of criteria under each of the following areas:

· Building Communication Systems · Building Automation and Security Systems
· Building & Facility Management Applications · Building Structure & Systems

Tom Lohner, Vice President, Teng Solutions and Chair of the Intelligent Building Ranking Tool Task Force will kick off the program. Each of the building components listed above will be discussed independently. Tom will present an overview of each of the areas, to be followed by a workshop/forum session led by Ken Sinclair, founder and editor of AutomatedBuildings.com, to develop the overall ranking for that IB area.

Jim Young, Producer and Founder of Realcomm will be our kick-off speaker to start the second day. Jim is a real estate and technology visionary who will offer his insights, on why technology must be a valued and integral part of any real estate project.

Your participation in this workshop is also important. We need a mix of individuals from various technical backgrounds to ensure that all aspects of intelligent building technologies are fairly represented in this process.
