For the term project, I will be focusing on the topic of “Intelligent
and/or Green” with Gabrielle Carpenter.
I chose this topic because green buildings a hot topic of today in the
building industry and I thought it would be interesting to explore the relationship
between green and intelligent buildings. I don’t much background in either
subject but I figured this would be a great opportunity to learn more about
green buildings and intelligent buildings.
Intelligent, energy-efficient buildings are expected to be an important
part of future energy systems.
There are practically no limits to the number of functions that can be
incorporated into intelligent buildings: lighting, heating/ventilation, climate
control and energy management among others. I’m very interested in how these
systems will contribute to the “green image” of the building.
As G. Carpenter mentioned in her post, I think the biggest challenge with
our project is going to be finding information of intelligent buildings because
they are referenced in many different ways and there is not one single description
of an intelligent building. Everyone has their own definition of what exactly
an intelligent building is.
