• DEFINITION OF INTELLIGENT BUILDING
1. The Intelligent Building Institute has proposed: “An intelligent building is one that provides a
productive and cost-effective environment through optimization of its four basic elements -
structure, systems, services and management - and the interrelationships between them. Intelligent
buildings help business owners, property managers and occupants to realize their goals in the
areas of cost, comfort, convenience, safety, long-term flexibility and marketability.
• INTRODUCTION
1. Intelligent Buildings are the buildings of 21st century. They combines innovations with skillful
management to maximize the returns on investment.
2. These buildings keep a watch over themselves and their own well being.
3. They put off lights, shut down air conditioners, check the water storage tanks, recharge the central
UPS in case of a power failure and switch on the alarm in case of fire.
4. Use of technology and process to create a building that is safer and more productive for its
occupants and more operationally efficient for its owners.
5. Intelligent Buildings are equipped with robust telecommunication infrastructure, allowing for
more efficient use of resources and increasing the comfort and security of its occupants.
6. The origin of Intelligent Buildings and building management systems has roots in the Industrial
sector in the 1980’s.
7. The high technology concept of intelligent building systems was introduced in United States.
• OVERVIEW OF INTELLIGENT 1. Advanced Telecommunication
BUILDINGS
1. Building should know what is happening
inside and immediately outside.
2. Building should decide the most effective
way of providing a convenient, comfortable
and productive environment for its
occupants.
3. Building should respond as quickly as
possible to the occupant’s requests.
4. “These attributes indicates the need for
various technology and management
systems. The successful integration of these
systems will produce three dimensions of
building intelligence”.

• THREE DIMENSIONS OF
BUILDING INTELLIGENCE
1. Building Automation Systems
2. Office Automation system and Local Area
Network
1. Building Automation Systems
I. to enable the building to respond to external factors and conditions (like climatic variations, fire
etc.), simultaneous sensing, control and monitoring of the internal environment and the storage
of the data generated
2. Office Automation system and Local Area Network
I. To provide management information and decision support aids with link to the central computer
system.
3. Advanced Telecommunication
I. To enable rapid communication with outside world, via the central computer system using optical
fiber installations, microwave and conventional satellite links.
• HOW BUILDINGS BECOME INTELLIGENT
1. The high technology concept of intelligent building systems was introduced in United States in
early 1980’s. An Intelligent Building provides a productive and cost-effective environment
through the integration of Structure, Systems, Services, and Management.
2. The development cost of an Intelligent Building is 8 - 10% higher than that of an ordinary
building. But this can be justified by the resulting energy saving, which is only 25 – 35% of
energy required by normal building.
• INTELLIGENT BUILDINGS.
1. Intelligent building adjusts the inside functional aspects such as lighting, ventilation, air
conditioning, etc. automatically with the changes in environmental conditions controlled by
computer.
2. While planning an intelligent building, a Building service engineer, an Architect & Hardware
Engineer is required.
• ORDINARY BUILDINGS
1. Ordinary building there will be different room conditions depending on the changes in the
environmental conditions.
2. But in case of ordinary building, a Building service engineer and an Architect is enough.
• MAJOR ASPECTS OF INTELLIGENT BUILDING
1. Security
2. Safety
3. Comfort
4. Energy Management
5. Telecommunication Systems
• SECURITY
1. This includes controlling access, surveillance and communication
2. Access control :
Access control restricts how and when people enter and/or exit an area. Your particular needs
will determine how that is accomplished. Access Control Systems allow people or vehicles into a
restricted area via identification through coded keys, magnetic cards, or biometric readers such as
hand, face, voice, finger or retina readers. These systems are used in many businesses, hotels and
apartment complexes.
3. Limit access-
Systems can be programmed to allow certain users to enter specific areas only at certain
times. Other users can be allowed to enter all locations at all times.
4. Automating
Systems can automatically lock a door or gate each evening at a certain time and unlock it
automatically at another time.
• WORKING OF AN ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
1) First we need a barrier to prevent someone from entering or exiting, such as a locked door or gate.
2) Next we need a way to determine who is trying to enter.
3) A credential reader is used to read the information on a key or card, to register a combination of
numbers entered on a pad or to identify some characteristic that the user has, such as a fingerprint
the shape of a hand, a pattern in the eye, etc.
4) This identifier is sent to a controller that has stored a record of those identifiers that are authorized
to enter the area.
5) If the credential holder is authorized the controller unlocks the gate or door and the credential
holder is allowed to enter.
6) In many systems a record of all authorized and unauthorized credentials is stored in the system for
future reference.
• FINGER PRINT LOCK
1. Easy and simple installation
2. Unlock by fingerprint or code
3. Can store up to 150 different finger prints
• RETINA BASED DOOR ACCESS SYSTEM
1. Pre-stores the person's eye color and its other physical features.
2. Scans retina, matches it with the data stored and only then the door gets opened.

• VOICE AND VIDEO INTERCOM

1. This type of access control is most commonly used in blocks of flats or apartments, where
access to the front door needs to be controlled remotely. Communication between the internal
phone and the outside speaker is established, before authorization to enter is granted.
• CODE- BASED ACCESS SYSTEM
1. A secure pin code entered onto a touch screen is required, before access to a controlled area
is allowed
• SWIPE CARD ACCESS SYSTEM
1. Entrance to a secured area is allowed, through the "swiping" of a pre-programmed card with
magnetic strip through a reader
• BIOMETRIC ACCESS SYSTEM
1. The newest technology in access control, biometric systems verify a person's identity, by unique
physical characteristics, such as a fingerprint or retina.

• SAFETY AND SURVEILLANCE

1. Intelligence with respect to life safety in an intelligent building consists of the use of high
technology to maximize the performance of fire alarm and security systems while at the same
time minimizing costs.
2. Life safety factors involved in intelligent buildings include:
1) reduced manpower dependence
2) closed-circuit television
3) card access control
4) smoke detection
5) intrusion alarms
6) emergency control of elevators, doors
7) uninterruptible power supplies
3. Surveillance
1. Helps in monitoring movement within and outside a building and its periphery through
camera (Closed-Circuit Television Camera) or perimeter devices like intrusion alarms. Also
helps in alerting the security manager, in case of violation of pre-set norms.
4. Safety
1. Fire protection systems pump water to the areas where the fire occurs, so as to douse it
automatically through sprinkler bulbs and also manually through the fire brigade.
2. Sufficient water pressure should be maintained throughout.
5. Smoke detection systems
1. Early warning systems like smoke detection systems, detects the fire at a very early stage
and pinpoint to the caretaker where exactly it is occurring, so that the fire is extinguished
locally through manual fire extinguishers.
• TELE COMMUNICATION
• Intelligence with respect to telecommunications in an intelligent building consists of the offering
to tenants of many sophisticated telecom features at a considerably reduced cost due to the fact
that the equipment is shared by many users. Some of the telecom features involved in intelligent
buildings are:
1) Private telephone exchange systems
2) Cablevision
3) Audio-visual and video-conferencing
4) Satellite communications
5) Electronic mail, intranets and internet access
• Telecommunication systems and office automation systems like the UPS and the public address
system provides the required support in the event of security violation or fire.
• BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND INTELLIGENT BUILDINGS
1) Energy-effective systems balance a building's electric light, daylight and mechanical systems for
maximum benefit.
2) Lighting systems: adding daylight to a building is one way to achieve an energy effective design.
And with the reduced need for electric light, a great deal of money can be saved on energy.
• ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
1) An intelligent building starts with an environmentally friendly design.
2) Creating a project that is environmentally friendly and energy efficient ties in closely with many
of the intelligent attributes.
3) Intelligent buildings are designed for long-term sustainability and minimal environmental impact
through the selection of recycled and recyclable materials, construction, maintenance and
operations procedures.
4) Providing the ability to integrate building controls, optimize operations, and enterprise level
management results in a significant enhancement in energy efficiency, lowering both cost and
energy usage compared to non-intelligent projects.
• ECONOMY CONSIDERATION
1) Creating an intelligent building does require an investment in advanced technology, processes,
and solutions.
2) An upfront investment is required to realize a significant return later on.
3) It is unrealistic to expect to make a project intelligent unless there is early buy in on investment.
4) One of the challenges is to educate owners on the benefits of an intelligent building design.
5) This makes the education of both owners and architects about the benefits of intelligent solutions
critical for success.
• Conclusion
1) The intelligent building is clearly the building of the future.
2) The goal of having an intelligent building only starts with early planning in the design stage.
3) In many ways, this mirrors the design and fulfillment of many green or leed projects today, but it
uses technology to provide for a superior space.
4) There are enormous benefits to be gained by creating intelligent buildings.
5) With proper marketing such buildings will entice tenants to sign on with a much greater ease.
6) By supporting the tenants in as many services as possible the building owners also gain from the
profits realized from these services and tenants profit from the discounts to be had on their end as
well.
7) We need to continue to work as an industry to quantify these benefits, educate owners and
consultants, and to deliver a superior product to the market.
