July 1, 2009 (Washington, DC) – The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) commends the House of Representatives for passing landmark energy and climate legislation Friday that includes several significant provisions to incentivize and accelerate the benefits of green building across the country.
“From programs that would generate billions of dollars to spur and scale green retrofitting of our existing building stock to inclusion of the GREEN Act, which would create new opportunities for green affordable housing, this bill recognizes that green building is a major part of the solution to our economic and energy challenges,” said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO & Founding Chair, USGBC. “With this federal commitment, green building can help propel the new green economy by creating enormous energy and cost savings for millions of Americans while accelerating unprecedented job creation.”

TechWeb's Internet Evolution Debuts 'Digital-Physical Convergence' Video Tutorial
IBM's Doug Brown describes how to integrate IT networks with electrical systems, HVAC & surveillance/security systems for more 'intelligent, instrumented, interconnected' operations
NEW YORK, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Converging IT networks and assets with other in-house systems will give companies a profound new level of visibility, control, and automation, says Doug Brown, Vice President of Marketing for the Tivoli brand of the Software Group at IBM. And this "digital-physical convergence" will accelerate service delivery and execution of key business processes, Brown adds, in a video tutorial posted today on the Internet Evolution Website.
Click here to view the tutorial: http://www.internetevolution.com/tutorial-digital-physical-convergence.asp "We're accustomed to thinking about how to instrument our IT systems and assets, but we need to be equally adept in thinking about how we instrument and extract insight from our physical assets," Brown advises. Organizations like city governments, overnight delivery services, and manufacturers are already reaping the benefits of networked traffic signals, bar-coded inventory, and GPS devices that feed data back for analysis and fast action.
