	Intelligent building - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Building component manufacturers describe many improvements as "intelligent." Currently, intelligent materials, structural systems, and boilers are all advertised.
		Engineers, architects and interior designers often use the phrase "intelligent building" to mean an office building with telecommunications that allow rapid reconfiguration of the interior layout for a client.
		When engineers say a building is intelligent, they often mean that computer programs coordinate many building subsystems to regulate the interior temperatures HVAC and providing power.

		Prior-art intelligent building technology is described in US patent specification 5673395 (G06F 13/40), which discloses an intelligent building comprising several tenants, in which one of the floors is divided into a number of blocks which contain tenant rooms provided with communication connections.
		The identification of the users of the intelligent building and the identification of the passengers us- ing the elevator group are mutually interconnected be- cause the user of the intelligent building is very probably a user of the elevators included in the ele- vator group.
		The intelligent building control system identifies the users and/or residents of the intelligent building on a floor-specific basis, and this information is util- ized in the intelligent building control, preferably for defining the passage rights in the intelligent building, establishing limited access rights.

	Engineered Systems: What is an intelligent building? Part 2: intelligent building construction and operation
		Once an intelligent building is designed, the first challenge is to make sure that the team remains committed to keeping it intelligent throughout construction.
		In many cases, the intelligent building portions may also be split out in a separate RFP or on the bid forms for a supplier decision directly by the owner.
		One critical element of an intelligent building is providing a method for the building occupants (tenants, employees, associates, students, patients, etc.) to interact with the building and building management.

	Measuring Building Intelligence, Intelligent Building
		Each AHU has supply air fed from the west face of the building (top of the first floor on the same side as the allotments) and the air is extracted away via a vent to the north face (around the corner from the supply to avoid any re-circulating of stale air).
		I felt that the ‘Intelligence rating’ of a building would have to be dependant on a broad range of aspects so the BIAM form was split into these aspects and individual items within the areas could be scored.
		The difficulty here is that creating sub-classes such as ‘reasonably intelligent’ for a building scoring over 55, is meaningless to a potential occupier who is looking for a facility with a specific use in mind.

		When it comes to Intelligent Buildings it becomes much more difficult to clearly define what it is. One thing is for sure, the answer will vary depending on who is asked the question.
		What puts it in favor of a more intelligent building is the awareness of future changes in demand and the relation to the activity carried out within the building.
		The intelligent building is definitely here to stay, it is just a matter of time until developers, owners and consulting engineers are fully aware of the possibilities it offers and that the available techniques are becoming known by the industry.

	Building Intelligent Agents
		The most significant, and unique, characteristic of building these agents is that a person directly teaches them how to perform domain-specific tasks in much the same way he or she would teach a student or apprentice: by giving the agent examples and explanations, and by supervising and correcting its behavior.
		In Chapter 2 we present, at an intuitive level, the Disciple approach for building intelligent agents, illustrating it with two examples: building a manufacturing assistant and building an educational assessment agent.
		Researchers interested in building intelligent agents, whether through knowledge acquisition methods or through machine learning methods, will find in this book an integrated approach that uses the complementariness of many basic knowledge acquisition and machine learning techniques in order to take advantage of their strengths and to compensate for each others weaknesses.
