ASSIGNMENT 4

LEARNING FROM INTELIGENT BUILDING AS AN ARCHITECT


Intelligent building, what is intelligent building?

• A building which is intelligent itself and understand everything itself and understand
everything that what we need from it at every time, or a building in which artificial
intelligence ware used and robotic system installed. No, absolutely wrong.
• An intelligent building means one which provides a productive and cost-effective
environment through optimization of four basic elements: structure, system, service and
management and inter-relationship with them.
• If we looked from past intelligent building was just imaginary thing or conceptual
framework for the representation of future building, however today, constituents of
influential policies for design & development for future building. Undeniable, urbanised
areas are expected to be highly influenced by intelligent building techniques in order to
promote & mart growth, green development, extra smart performance. In today or
upcoming generation intelligent building concept is rapidly spreading. Most modern,
public building residential building are planned with IB techniques, objectives of
decreasing expenses by reducing energy consumption enhancing energy presentation
strategies and using sustainable design approaches are necessary to design any site.
• As we all know that developing countries, building remain to be the largest energy
consumers, hence it is becoming very crucial topic to focus & study about the energy
consumption & their impact on their surrounding environment during different stages of
their life cycle.
• After doing so many cases studies & all research about the intelligent building we
conclude some of the quality of intelligent building & learn new things from it.
• First and main thing about the IB is Human comfort; the thing which does not give
human comfort human can never accept that thing from all his soul power. Other main
thing is environmental friendliness and safety and security measures.
• As we all know that “Life & Death is in nobody’s hands” but these techniques give their
best to inform prior of (security measures) Fire, earthquakes, disaster and structural
damage.
• Other quality of the IB is space utilization, work, efficiency, image of high technology,
construction process and structure, heath & sanitation. Using these techniques, each
type of building will have different design criteria to make it as an intelligent building.
• The building varies in its function in terms of residential, commercial & industrial. After
deciding different criteria each & every type of building design accordingly in terms of
their functions, work performance & other priorities.
• We discussed so many criteria which fulfilled the demand to intelligent building now we
move forward that what are the different selection criteria which make a building to
intelligent.
• There is n-number of things of thing which is used into a building for make it intelligent
and fulfil the criteria of all the modules.

➢ Building Automation System (BAS) from this we learn function & purpose of it, it
improved occupant comfort efficient operation of building system, reduction in energy
consumption, reduce operating and maintaining costs, increased security.
➢ Building Management System (BMS) - It’s major aim to guarantee the safety of facility
operation, while also monitoring and optimizing the use and efficiency and supervised
subsystem to allow more efficient operation.
➢ Sensors- Interaction sensor & environment sensors, it is a device whose purpose is to
detect events or changes in its environment and sent the information to other
electronic, frequently a computer person.
➢ Smart Material- Material we also know the cement, concrete etc. but in terms of IB,
smart materials are interactive material with intensive properties.
➢ Intelligent Skins- Intelligent skins means the interior façade, which has capacity of
hierarchically filtering day light and real time control and preventing day light comfort.
➢ Smart Appliances- Smart appliances like lighting watering and other thing which
incorporate with sensors and performs function intelligently.
➢ Passive Design Techniques- In this we earn about indoor environmental control and
other environmental techniques.

With all these things and technology, a building fulfil the demand of intelligent building
but if incorporate in building in any ways.

In this whole learning process the main points of our learning are-

1. The difficulty to a design an intelligent building, in the diversity of the aspects that the
decision-making process.
2. All the modules permutation combination for intelligent building.
3. Framework with all its quality.
4. Techniques which used in a building to make it intelligent.
5. Outcomes of this study provide much clear understanding of the method of designing
intelligent building.

Common questions

Powered by AI

Smart materials enhance the capabilities of intelligent buildings by offering interactive properties that respond dynamically to environmental stimuli. These materials can improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort through self-regulation of building conditions, like adjusting to temperature changes or enhancing insulation. The use of smart materials, such as advanced glass or adaptive facades, allows buildings to actively manage resources and environmental impacts more effectively .

Intelligent skins are significant in intelligent building design as they dynamically control light and thermal conditions to enhance occupant comfort and energy efficiency. These skins can hierarchically filter daylight and manage heat transfer, thus reducing energy consumption associated with lighting and HVAC systems. By improving the building's interaction with its environment, intelligent skins contribute to sustainability and the overall effectiveness of building automation systems .

Sensors in intelligent buildings function as devices that detect environmental changes or events and transmit this information to other electronic systems, often a centralized computer. These sensors play a pivotal role in enhancing building operations by optimizing resource use, maintaining safety standards, and improving building system efficiency. Sensors enable real-time monitoring and feedback, allowing for prompt adjustments to changing conditions, thus supporting the building's overall intelligent functionality .

Human comfort is paramount in the design of intelligent buildings since it fundamentally influences their acceptance and effectiveness. An intelligent building must ensure comfort through systems that enhance air quality, temperature control, and lighting, among other factors. Without occupant comfort, the benefits of intelligent systems such as energy efficiency and technology integration may not fully achieve their potential, as user satisfaction is a critical component of a building's success .

Intelligent buildings contribute to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency by incorporating systems such as Building Automation Systems (BAS) and using smart materials. These technologies improve occupant comfort and reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Intelligent buildings are designed with energy presentation strategies and sustainable design approaches that help to lower their ecological footprint, especially in urbanized areas of developing countries where buildings are significant energy consumers .

The challenges in designing intelligent buildings mainly revolve around the complexity of addressing diverse aspects in the decision-making process. Designers must integrate various technologies and systems like BAS, BMS, and smart materials while also considering factors such as energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and sustainability. The permutations and combinations of these modules present a significant challenge, requiring a comprehensive and strategic approach to meet the specified criteria for intelligent buildings .

An intelligent building optimizes four basic elements: structure, system, service, and management. These elements interact to create a productive and cost-effective environment by enhancing occupant comfort, increasing energy efficiency, and integrating advanced technologies for improved safety and security. The relationship between these elements ensures that the building operates efficiently and meets the needs of its users .

Building Management Systems (BMS) play a critical role in intelligent buildings by ensuring facility operations' safety and optimizing the use of resources. BMS monitors and supervises subsystems to allow for efficient operation, thereby reducing energy consumption and enhancing the building's overall efficiency. It helps in maintaining safety standards and ensures that all integrated systems function optimally .
