For more than three decades, Mr. Forbes has been involved with environmental and sustainable development issues
and programs such as educating design and construction professionals about green buildings and energy management.
Early in his career (1976), while he was an Institute Scholar at the American Institute of Architects headquarters in
Washington, D.C., Mr. Forbes worked on some of the original AIA Energy Management Programs. Under
Mr. Forbes direction, ARCHIBUS was the first software developer in the world to create an Environmental
Sustainability application which utilizes balanced scorecard metrics. In 2002, Mr. Forbes was asked to participate in
the World Summit in Johannesburg, as a plenary chair for the UNEPs Sustainability of the Built Environment
initiatives. More recently Mr. Forbes has worked to create the worlds first cloud-based RE/IM/FM offerings, the
worlds 1
st
comprehensive total environmental asset management system (TEAMS), the worlds first RE/IM/FM
Mobile offerings, and the worlds first Green RFID Enterprises.

During his inauguration as an IFMA Fellow, Mr. Forbes was cited as being the Father of Computer Aided Facilities
Management. For more than 30 years, Mr. Forbes has been the worlds leading automation pioneer, visionary and
pundit for the architecture, engineering, construction, real estate, infrastructure, and facility management professions.
With over 300 patents and copyrights, Mr. Forbes has been involved in creating many of the worlds 1st and best
technologies, best practices, standards, and benchmarks. Some of most remarkable of the inventions and/or creations
include the worlds 1
st
:
Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) systems 1982
Artificial Intelligence Based Expert System for facilities management (AIBES/FM) - 1985
Computer Integrated Facility Management (CIFM) enterprises 1989
The worlds first commercially available Integrated Workplace Management Systems offerings 1994
Building Information Management (BIM) systems for FM - 1995
Facilities Management Cyberspace (FM Cyberspace) universes 1995
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) systems - 1999
Total Infrastructure and Facilities Management (TIFM) solutions 1999
Green RFID Enterprises (Green RFID) - 2000
Ubiquitous Environmental Sustainability (UES) enterprises 2002
Ubiquitous Infrastructure and Facilities Management (UIFM) enterprises 2002
Intuitive Business Transformation (IBT) environments 2006
Real Time Location Visualization Systems (RTLVS) - 2009

Still in use throughout the world, CAFM, CIFM, VIM, IWMS, FM Cyberspace and IFM Cyberspace and TIFM
offerings have served as great point solutions and are currently considered to be pivotal legacy systems for those
organizations that have started their deployment of Intuitive Business Transformation enabled TIFM Enterprises
(which are considered to represent the most advanced state of real estate, infrastructure and facilities automation).

During the next few years, the products and services associated with the IBT enabled TIFM automation market will
continue their dramatic growth. By 2016, the global market for such solutions is expected to exceed $12 Billion
(U.S.). With Intuitive Business Transformation (IBT), TIFM systems are now often enterprise-wide mission critical
deployments, making the providers and integrators indispensable partners to their clients.

Mr. Forbes was a co-founder of the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI), the worlds advocate for
Building Information Modeling (BIM). Mr. Forbes advocates the creation and utilization of the natural extensions to
BIM such as Enterprise Information Modeling (EIM) and Intuitive Business Transformations (IBT).

In 2008, Mr. Forbes was identified as a Pioneer, Visionary, Industry Pundit, and Father of Real Estate, Infrastructure
and Facilities Management Automation Solutions and was inducted into the International Facility Management

Typical Discussion Areas as related to Real Estate, Infrastructure and Facilities Management Automation as a
Value-Driven Enabler for Green Smart Buildings, Environmental Sustainability and Intelligent Cities

Typically, presentations by Mr. Bruce K. Forbes focus on the rapid and successful integration of world-class
ARCHIBUS Technologies with legacy systems and information silos based on 30 years experience and the global
best practices and benchmarks of over 4,000,000 users. Presentations by Mr. Forbes typically provide a crash course
for real estate, infrastructure and facility professionals looking to implement CAFM systems, IWMS offerings, TIFM
solutions and/or UIFM Enterprises. Collectively such systems are called real estate, infrastructure and facilities
management (IFM) solutions.

The goal of Mr. Forbes presentations are to enable organizations to decide for themselves what is needed for value-
driven success and intuitive business transformations without having to pay expensive consultants and/or sit through
dozens of smoke-and-mirror demonstrations by sales persons who may only have limited exposure to world-class
standards, benchmarks and best-of-class offerings. Participating professionals are empowered to make strategic and
operational decisions about automation in a timely fashion and avoid the pitfalls associated with such deployments
(saving their organizations money, time and effort by applying the simple rules shared during this session).

Participants gain insight on how to expedite the development, implementation, and evaluation of their own CAFM,
IWMS, TIFM and/or UIFM Business Plan(s). Several years ago, Building Information Modeling (BIM) 1.0 and 2.0
became a strategic unifying force in the collaborative sharing of data and information by Architects, Engineers and
Contractors (AEC Professionals). Today, BIM 3.0 and BIM 4.0 (a.k.a. Enterprise Information Modeling
(EIM)), initially created by ARCHIBUS, will be a unifying force in collaborative sharing between Real Estate,
Infrastructure, Facilities and AEC professionals. Intuitive Business Transformation (IBT) environments, as
drivers for EIM will allow all of these professionals to work with their organizations executive teams to contribute to
their organizations strategic and operational initiatives in a powerfully unique and timely manner. Participants are
able to learn how they can begin to realize the benefits of deploying remarkable Intuitive Business Transformation
environments for IFM solutions in less than 30-days. Return on investment for such solutions is typically within 9
months and results in generating enough savings to empower organizations to expand their green initiatives and
start the creation of smart buildings in intelligent cities within their portfolios.
