My background with intelligent buildings started with use of
Revit. I have taken a few classes teaching the basics of Revit Architecture,
MEP and Structural as well as few advanced aspects of each type. I currently
work for a building controls company so I have a lot of exposure to how sensors
and controllers communicate over a network to control HVAC equipment, lighting
and building security.
My expectation for the course is to learn how technology
influences design and operation of buildings.
Intelligent buildings are buildings that use technology such
as BIM or networks during design and operation in order to make processes
within the building more efficient. Examples could be building networks that
operate HVAC systems or lighting systems based on need, in order to lower
energy use; or use of BIM by designers to model the building and find conflicts
between different specialties that can increase costs, such as ductwork
intersecting beams in designs.
