Title: Systems Integration in Intelligent Buildings
Abstract: The cost of making an intelligent building, as opposed to a dumb one, is, according to Masao Kimura, Chief Architect of NTT, 6% to 7% greater and it can be recovered in 5 years from energy savings alone. Office buildings must reflect this trend. They should be fully integrated with sophisticated communications networks as well as environmental control systems. The infrastructure for the new generation of intelligent buildings stresses three focal areas: Telecommunications, Office automation, and Building automation. Smart buildings feature wiring systems that take up less room and can simultaneously carry telecommunications, computing power, and data from sensors that report on the state of a building's security, climate, and other factors. Architects, civil engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers, telephone engineers, specialty design professionals, wire and cable management, as well as local area network specialists are necessary. The same is true of security and access control engineers, systems integration consultants, and property management executives.
