Congratulations to Professor Fang for this initiative with CIB. I am glad he is a member of the Editorial Board for the Intelligent Buildings Journal published by Taylor and Francis. We look forward to his active participation in developing the Journal which is closely related in content to the CIB Commission W098 on Intelligent and Responsive Buildings.
