Intelligent Building Planning and Designing

Abstract

The word ‘intelligent’ was first used to describe buildings in the United States at the beginning of the 1980. Intelligent buildings are a reality increasingly present in cities around the world. The concept of intelligent buildings is not new, but it has evolved mainly due to the development of new technologies, which, when incorporated, enable more intelligent resources and processes, which expand the building’s capacity to operate in a more efficient, flexible, interactive and sustainable way. It is a building that uses both technology and process to create an environment that is safe, healthy and comfortable to everyone. An intelligent design needs to start with a complete model. The model will be a 6 Bhk bungalow comprising of area of 108,046,235.52 sq mm and G+2. This modeling begins early on with CAD designs that evolve into Revit project renderings. The intelligent building will comprise of Elevator system, Lighting system, Smoke control system, Water management, video monitoring and Security Access control. All the bylaws will be considered while designing and planning of the structure including architectural and structural component. The structure will be planned with the objective of decreasing expenses by reducing energy consumption. Lastly, we will understand what an Intelligent Building is and will also understand intelligent planning and design of a structure with considering structural components (Water management, Electricity distribution, Lighting system, Elevator system) & architectural components (Video monitoring, Security access control, Smoke control system, Fire detection alarm) and to provide knowledge on underlying concepts and potential of an intelligent building, infrastructure and connected communities.
