The concept of intelligent buildings has been around for many years. However the application of intelligence in buildings has yet to deliver its full potential.
This session will identify the roadblocks to the effective implementation of intelligent building solutions and present strategies for overcoming them. This session will provide examples where IT and Technical Building Services have been brought together effectively, and examine the technologies required to deliver truly integerated intelligent building solutions. The leading role of The Centre of Excellence for Intelligence in Buildings (ibexcellence) in mainstreaming intelligent building solutions will be highlighted.

Presentation (pdf)
Paul Mason has actively designed and pushed forward converged building systems since 1987 and the Matthew Hall Mastercare Heat Service /BMS project. Paul has seen the designs built and tested and he has reflected on the process and the technology. Leadership in construction industry always ends up as pioneering and maverick and mostly unwanted, nevertheless if something is wrong then it is wrong and so some effort must be made to make things right, so we continue to push for change. The latest evolution of Paul's on-going "better buildings for all project" is one completed earlier this year, easter 2006, for The Crown Estate, their new headquarters. This is complete with all controls (fire, access, hvac, disables alarms, lights, fire vents everything) on a firetuf cat 5 IP backbone. Find out more, interesting?
