Building for the future using automated tech

摘要

»Individual systems used to manage and control buildings are steadily being integrated together in order to provide better knowledge of the use and operation of a building and to offer more cohesive control of services. "The term intelligent building is too often used to describe the user experience in relation to HVAC equipment and lighting systems, but it extends much further: to audio visual, security, access and safety and evacuation systems," says Craig Park, principal consultant at The Sextant Group. "The convergence of technology and new methods for accessing and recording data and environmental conditions within buildings are now providing significant operational improvements and much deeper analytical insights than ever before. This is leading to more precise control of the wide range of building services."
