 Intelligent Building Index (IBI) Version 3.0
The new index is formally released on 18 January 2005. There are various changes to the Version 2.0 released in October 2001. Dr Leonard Chow is the chief designer of the manual. The revisions will offer greater practicality and better presentation. The deletion of "Construction Process" was mainly due to the fact that it is very difficult to obtain construction information after the building has been built. To be practical, the index with the practical elements in "Management Practice" is introduced. With the implementation of Index 10 "Health and Sanitation" in January 2004, the response from building property management are extremely good. Index 10 applications to residential buildings are particularly popular as a measurement tool for healthy buildings. The new IBI manual Version 3.0 is believed to be a much practical document in the field of Intelligent Buildings with the characteristic of easy to use, easy to understand and easy to calculate.
