    975,000 NYC Buildings – Embracing Innovation and Setting Global Benchmarks (more info)
    Date: 6/13/2012    Time: 8:00AM - 10:30AM    Location: Paradise North
    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.

    Achieving Organizational Alignment through Technology, Automation and Innovation - Seven CBRE Executives Speak Out! (more info)
    Date: 6/13/2012    Time: -     Location: Paradise North
    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

    Questions:
    • Metrics are relatively straightforward for mechanical systems, but not for the user experience or touchy / feely operational costs. How are these first costs rationalized?
    • Does your company or client have ROI values / timeframes so decisions may be made quickly?
    • In a multi-tenant building where energy costs are distributed by square foot, how are tenants incentivized?
    • In the same type of building where the managing agent / building owner reduces energy consumption, are those savings passed onto the tenants?
    • A converged network is a given. What building systems should actually exchange data to lower life-cycle costs?

    Smart Grid - Connecting the Building for Demand Response and Beyond (more info)
    Date: 6/14/2012    Time: 11:15AM - 12:30PM    Location: Pavilion 10
    For more than five years, Realcomm has been taking about the smart grid. Modernizing the entire electrical infrastructure is no small task given the elaborate and complicated relationship between suppliers, distributors and end-users. It gets more intricate when one considers the complexity that new digital capabilities will bring. One of the most important aspects of the smart grid is the end-user, the building itself, and yet, very few actual case studies have emerged. This session will be an update on the most successful case studies of smart buildings that are connected to the smart grid.

    Smart Cities - Myth or Reality (more info)
    Date: 6/14/2012    Time: 1:30PM - 2:45PM    Location: Pavilion 10
    The idea of a smart city is not new. Walt Disney first talked about EPCOT in the early '60s. 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.

    Performance Optimization - The ABCs of Commissioning (more info)
    Date: 6/14/2012    Time: 1:00PM - 2:15PM    Location: Pavilion 11
    Commissioning, De-Commissioning, Retro-Commissioning, Continuous Commissioning...a lot of commissioning is going on. 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.
