This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: A4 - Intelligent Building Project, General Contains Restrooms, Example applications for the Intelligent Building Automation solution from ObjectVideo include energy Management Problem The U.S. Department of Energy reports that lighting and HVAC represent 40% of the average commercial building’s electric bill., General Contains Concierge, Automatic daylight control Lighting control Potential saving compared to manual operation Automatic occupancy detection ( auto - manual ) on / dimmed, 1- Ability to response to change 2- React and respond to all requirements automatically 3- Effective in operation & management 4- All building control by communication & IT management Interesting areas that intelligent buildings focus in Skin ( solar control, materials, strategies design ), Technology ???? Networking /Telecom, Example applications for the Intelligent Building Automation solution from ObjectVideo include Space Management Problem Many corporate real estate organizations do not have an effective way to measure actual space utilization., Creates an environment which maximises the effectiveness of the building's occupants while at the same time enabling efficient management of resources with minimum life-time costs of hardware and facilities''. Main Goals Business management, Intelligent Building Problems CONSTRUCTION, Mechanical Contains Water and gas metering, sub-metering, sensitive Construction ???? Difficulty to structurally put together a coverged building, Building structure Components Access to utilities ( Elec , Telephone ), Building structure Components Raised Floor and drop ceiling, Benifits Features 1- Ability to response to change 2- React and respond to all requirements automatically 3- Effective in operation & management 4- All building control by communication & IT management, Building structure Components Access to utilities ( Elec , Telephone ), Contractor ???? Consultant supervision, Mechanical Contains IAQ, causes stemming from improper implementation of Intelligent Systems It has also been suggested that very low levels of specific pollutants, such as VOCs, that are present inside a building may act synergistically, or at least in combination, to cause symptoms of illness. The chemical industry is not strictly regulated, with the majority of the many thousands of chemicals in everyday use having not been tested for health effects before their introduction. Chemicals have traditionally been thought to be toxic only above certain concentrations but scientists are now finding they often have health damaging effects at much lower levels, previously considered to be safe. In the case of small amounts of multiple different chemicals acting in combination to cause illness, there is virtually no research on this to refer to, so any effects are entirely unknown., Sick building syndrome ???? Clerical workers, Inadequate design ???? Poor design detailing
