- 3. Introduction • An Intelligent building is the one which provides a productive and cost-effective environment through optimization of four basic elements: structure, systems, services and management, and the interrelationship between them. • It is a type of building that uses both technology and process to create an environment that is safe, healthy, and comfortable to everyone.
- 5. Need of Intelligent Building • Technology is changing how we design and construct buildings and the building fabrics themselves . • Intelligent buildings are the new Era in the field of construction throughout the world. • It is Environment Friendly. • It is cost Effective. • It has many social benefits.
- 6. Difference between ordinary and Intelligent building • Intelligent building: Intelligent building adjusts the inside functional aspects such as lighting, ventilation, fire-fighting, air- conditioning, etc. automatically with the changes in environmental conditions controlled by computer. • the security system , communication system, etc. are coordinated and automatically controlled by computer work station. • Ordinary building: Ordinary building there will be different room conditions depending on the changes in the environmental conditions. • The security system , communication system, etc. are not coordinated and automatically controlled by computer work station.
- 7. Cost Effective Construction • Fly ash Based concrete walls should be used. • Intelligent buildings are more energy efficient. • These buildings use less water. • Materials efficiency. • Intelligent building should be constructed so that it can take advantages of renewable resources. • Reduces operating cost. • Solar cells should be used.
- 9. Components of Energy efficient building • Provide good Landscaping • Ratio of built form to open spacing • Location of water bodies should be at proper place • There should be proper orientation of the building • Use of materials with low embodied energy
- 10. Environment Friendly • An intelligent building starts with an environmentally friendly design . • They maintains a comfortable, safe and secure environment . • The uses of carbon is minimum which reduces pollution. • Enhance and protect biodiversity and ecosystems. • Improve air and water quality. • Reduce waste streams. • Optimum Use of Day Light.
- 11. Features of Intelligent buildings
- 12. Access control • Access control restricts how and when people enter and exit an area. • It can be done by many methods. 1) Finger Print Lock 2) Voice and Video Intercom 3) Code Based Access System 4) Swipe Card Access System 5) Biometric Access System 6) Surveillance through CCTVs
- 14. Safety • Life safety systems, often called “fire systems”, are typically driven by code considerations . • 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. • Fire protection system pumps water to the areas where the fire occurs, so as to douse it automatically through sprinkler bulbs and also manually through the fire brigade. Fire alarm
- 15. Management systems • Energy Management • HVAC systems • Lighting systems • Lift and Escalator systems • Alarm Monitoring • Water Management systems
- 16. Water Management System • Rain Water Harvesting should be done • Water Efficient Plumbing and Fixtures should be used • Water Treatment, Recycling & Minimal Disposal • Gray Water Handling • Solid Waste Control Strategies • Proper water drainage system should be provided.
- 17. HVAC Systems • HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as High rise buildings and Intelligent buildings. • It refers to Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning of the buildings. • Heaters can be used to generate heat if required. • Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. • Unpleasant smells and excessive moisture are reduced.
- 18. Advantages of Intelligent buildings • Provides Air quality control • Higher level of security and safety • Reduced administration costs • Provides good comfort • Environment friendly • Proper control over the entire structure • focus on eliminating CO2 emissions
- 19. Disadvantages of Intelligent building • The initial cost of an installed system is high. • Repairing problems. • Requires special super vision over all configuration. • Small life of the electronic equipment. • Serviceability would be an issue unless users have a trained technician on the staff. • Technological limitations.
- 20. Conclusion • The intelligent building is clearly the building of the future. • The benefits of these buildings include cost saving from reduced energy, water and waste, lower operation and maintenance cost. • Tominimize the energy consumption to a greater scale and to increase the equipment’s efficiency are the objectives of these buildings. • Therefore an emphasis should be on Intelligent construction.
