Lorena Alvarado - Introduction



Background

My name is Lorena Alvarado and I am a civil and architectural engineering student with a concentration in HVAC.  I am currently a fifth year senior.  I have always been interested in technological innovations and how these can be incorporated to facilitate usage in structures.

Expectations

My expectations for this class are to better understand the future in buildings and the involvement of technology.  There is always the need to find ways that will be more cost effective in buildings and smart buildings are on the rise.

Preliminary definition of what is “Intelligent Building”

My definition of an Intelligent Building is the use of various technologies to improve the functionality and efficiency and also by reducing the energy consumption.
