Jeanine- Introduction Post


Hello, my name is Jeanine Lancellotti and I am an architectural engineering major with a concentration in HVAC.  I began my college career with the intention of pursuing a BS in Architectural Engineering with a structural concentration, but my second co-op lead me in a different direction. This co-op provided me with experience working with a senior HVAC engineer and also aiding an electrical engineer. To me, an intelligent building is a building that uses advanced technology to control a combination of building systems in the hopes of reducing energy use and make the building as efficient as possible. Aside from the little experience I gained with electrical design, the only other experience I have with Intelligent Buildings was in AE 340. My final project for this course involved a presentation regarding the details and advantages of lighting control systems. Although this presentation only skimmed the surface of building control systems, I found this topic to be intriguing. In this class I hope to learn more about systems like the one I previously researched. I am interested in learning the benefits of intelligent buildings, and where their use is the most practical.  I also hope to gain more experience with using Revit, as it is a good skill to have with its advancing use in the field.
