INFORMATICS DESIGN PROCESS FOR INTELLIGENT BUILDINGS

Abstract

An intelligent building needs to be designed to meet the needs of initial occupants and be flexible to meet the needs of future occupants. Creating an intelligent building does require an investment in advanced technology, processes, and solutions. An ingenuous investment is required to realize a significant return later on. It is unrealistic to expect to make a project intelligent unless there is early acquisition in on investment. Over, these decisions need to happen prior to the start of design work. One of the challenges is to educate owners on the benefits of an intelligent building design. This makes the education of both owners and architects about the benefits of intelligent solutions significant for success.
