The barriers

• Innovative concepts
• Its not the way we do it
• Consultants will design what they are comfortable
  with
• Builders will build what they know
• Innovation Risk (and therefore cost)
• Integrated intelligent building
• Works against existing structures
• LSC funding
• Architects
• Mechanical Electrical (ME)
• Silos that defend the status quo
• Achieving the integration vision requires
  collaboration
