This information database, called the Sustainable Building
Information System (SBIS), has been launched by the International
Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE),
with the support of several organizations. The goal of the
system is to allow users all over the world to gain access
to a rich body of information related to sustainable building
in several languages. Several linked files will provide
relational access.
The individual files include:
o Advanced Technologies
o Methods and Tools
o R&D Projects
o Policies and Programs
o Buildings
o People
o Events
o Documents
o Relevant websites
All of the files contain individual records related to the
file subject for browsing by SBIS users and they can download
PDF-format documents that have been contributed by individuals
or organizations.
The system interface on the CD version is currently developed
in English, French, Italian and Polish, and in the future
other languages will be added.
The work to date has been made possible by contributions
by several agencies. Specific organizations include:
-- U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory
-- Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Japan
-- International Environmental Technology Centre of UNEP
-- CETC, Natural Resources Canada
-- OEE, Natural Resources Canada
-- National Defense Canada
-- Sustainable Energy Authority of Victoria (Australia)
-- Canadian GBC team.
