The Sustainability Challenge
• One World
• Increasing population
• Increasing demands on resources
• Negative impacts on environment
• Demands for equitable distribution of
resources
But the Power of
Information Technology is
growing even faster than
Population
100,000 Growth in
40 Years
The Intelligent Response
• Intelligence: the creative use of information
• Based upon systems for data collection, analysis,
communication and application
• Increasing power and affordability of ICT supports
the more extensive use of intelligence in buildings
• Integration with human, commercial and
environmental factors essential
• Success based upon improvements in performance
& value

Green Buildings
Green Building Definition
"A green building uses less energy,
water and natural resources, creates less
waste and is healthier for the people living
inside compared to a standard building."
Green Buildings
Focus on Sustainable
Materials, Carbon & Energy
Major Focus on Structural
Solutions
Green Buildings
• Highly influential global movement
• Mainly architect not engineer led solutions
• Linked to “life-style” values which are often
anti-technology, anti-corporate
• Established are increasingly influential
building assessment and rating systems

Measurement
Building Assessment Methods
Green Building Intelligent Building
• BREEAM (UK) • BIQ (CABA North
• LEED (US) America)
• Green Star (Aust.) • IB Index (Hong
• CASBEE (Japan) Kong, China)
• Green Mark • IBSK (Korea)
(Singapore) • TIBA (Taiwan)
• HK-BEAM (Hong • SCC (Shanghai)
Kong)
Characteristics of Current
Rating Systems
• Focus on new-build construction
• Assessment at the design and/or
construction stage
• No measurement of actual
performance in use
• Little relationship between green &
intelligent assessments
BREEAM In-Use
• New assessment tool currently being launched
• Focus on performance of existing buildings
• Based on 3 elements:
1. Asset Rating - Inherent environmental
performance
2. Management Rating- building management
commitment
3. Operational Rating - Performance effectiveness of
the building (combination of 2 and 3).
• Provides basis for connecting green & intelligent
building ratings

Implications & Opportunities
• Best building performance based on:
best design + best management =
green + intelligent
• Need to combine building design and engineering
services with IT, communications and control
• Major opportunities for progressive engineers,
designers and technologists
