CIBS has a mission to serve our membership by providing tangible outcomes and manpower that service its vision. To accomplish this, we will bring together researchers and stakeholders from across the spectrum (from component to building owner/operators) to address the lack of integration in a rigorous way that is governed by a common mission. The center will develop, and codify in a common framework, the physical/cyber-physical models and datasets which are required to assess and suggest appropriate integration of equipment, systems, with the structures and surrounding environment.

                Our stakeholders have helped us arrive at a list of 5 research thrusts that will be the focus of the center over its first years.  We commit to deliver relevant research outcomes, manpower, and an exciting environment for creativity and collaboration between our stakeholders and researchers with a focus on these research thrusts.
