Intelligent Building

Intelligent buildings apply technologies to improve the building environment and functionality for occupants while controlling costs, improving security, comfort and accessibility. They are designed to be responsive, flexible and adaptive to changing user needs over the building's lifetime through physical design and IT installations. Key characteristics of intelligent buildings include being flexible to different usage contexts, supporting communication between users, and having sensors and actuators to respond automatically to events.

Intelligent buildings apply technologies to improve the building


environment and functionality for occupants/tenants while controlling
costs, improving security, comfort and accessibility.

Efficient, Safe, Comfortable

INTELLIGENT BUILDING
Intelligent buildings are buildings that through their
physical design and IT installations are responsive,
flexible and adaptive to changing needs from its
users and the organizations that inhabit the building
during it's life time. The building will supply services
for its inhabitants, its administration and operation
& maintenance. The intelligent building will
accomplish transparent 'intelligent' behavior, have
state memory, support human and installation
systems communication, and be equipped with
sensors and actuators.

Intelligent building
characteristics (1)
1.

be flexible and responsive to different usage and environmental


contexts such as office, home, hotel, and industry invoking
different kinds of loads from nature, people, and building systems,

2.

be able to change states (clearly defined) with respect to functions


and user demands over time and building spaces (easy to program
and re-program during use)

3.

support human communication (between individuals and groups)

4.

provide transparent intelligence and be simple and understandable


to the users (support ubiquitous computers and networks)

marketing reasons.

INFORMART
BUILDING

TheInfomartis one of the


largest buildings inDallas,
Texas(USA). It is the worlds
first and only information
processing marketing center.
The building's hospital-grade
electrical power is supplied
by 4 independent electric
feeds and six in-building
transformer substations,
providing a very reliable
source. More than 16 fiber
providers have a physical
presence at the Infomart,
allowing 8,700 strands of
fiber into the building with
bandwidth capacity near 26
trillion bytes per second.

LonWorks

LonWorks(local operating network) is a


networking platform specifically created to
address the needs of control applications.
The platform is built on a protocol created
byEchelon Corporationfor networking
devices over media such as twisted pair,
powerlines,fiber optics, andRF. It is used
for the automation of various functions
within buildings such as lightingandHVAC
; seebuilding automation.

tomorrows energy efficient


buildings would have
A structure and walls of such insulation performance

that only 50 kWh/m2/year would suffice to achieve


ideal thermal comfort
All of its equipment to the optimal energy

performance level (lighting, HVAC, office devices, )


Intelligence everywhere that would seamlessly handle

energy usage optimization whilst guaranteeing


optimal comfort, a healthy environment and
numerous other services (security, assistance to
elderly people, )
Renewable and non polluting energy sources
The ability to satisfy its own energy needs (thermal

and/or electric) or even contribute excess power to


the community (zero/positive energy buildings)
Users whose behaviors would have evolved towards a

reasoned usage of energy
