Can a poorly performing industry produce a high performance building - at a cost benefit? In order for construction to be a healthy, efficient, high performance industry, it must submit itself to Performance-based Standards and Measures; proven successful in other industries. The construction industry; characterized as it is by complex, multi-dimensional fragmentation, has not been a good candidate for measurement at the whole-building level. This need no longer be the case. Function-based Modeling and Computing Science and Technology resolve this dilemna. In doing so they become the catalyst to innovation and optimization.

PBI serves owners and building teams committed to bringing high-perfornance to the building process, to the built environment, and to the enterprises or institutions that occupy the built environment - while appreciating the natural environment.
