The field of
Intelligent Buildings, Intelligent Homes, Building Management
Systems (BMS) encompasses an enormous variety of technologies,
across commercial, industrial, institutional and domestic
buildings, including energy management systems and building
controls. The function of Building Management Systems is central
to 'Intelligent Buildings' concepts; its purpose is to control,
monitor and optimize building services, eg., lighting; heating;
security, |
|
CCTV and alarm systems; access control;
audio-visual and entertainment systems;
ventilation, filtration and climate control,
etc.; even time & attendance control and
reporting (notably staff movement and
availability). The potential within these
concepts and the surrounding technology is vast,
and our lives are changing from the effects of
Intelligent Buildings developments on our living
and working environments. The impact on
facilities planning and facilities management is
also potentially immense. Any facilities
managers considering premises development or
site relocation should also consider the
opportunities presented by Intelligent Buildings
technologies and concepts. This free summary
