Ask not ‘what can you do for your technology?’ ask ‘what can your technology do for you?’ with apologies to John F Kennedy Green and Intelligent Buildings: save costs and boost productivity, sustainably!
‘ Intelligent’ Building Definition
“ Intelligent buildings should be sustainable, healthy, technologically aware, meet the needs of occupants and business and should be flexible and adaptable to deal with change”
Clements-Croome (2007)
Definition - 2
An intelligent building is a dynamic and responsive architecture that provides every occupant with productive , cost effective and environmentally approved conditions through a continuous interaction among its four basic elements: places (fabric; structure; facilities); processes ( automation; control; systems ;) people (services; users) and management (maintenance; performance) and the interrelation between them.
The CIB Working Group W098 (1995).

The goal – 4 E’s
Economy = minimising cost
Efficiency = making best use of resources
Effectiveness = degree of achievement of outcome
Efficacy = degree of relevance of outcome

Pedagogy and Buildings
“ Space has the power to condition behaviour and form personality. ... The environment affects our emotions, feelings and reactions.“
Scuri (1995)
“ the more integrated building allows communications between staff to be considerably enhanced.”
Penn et al. (1977)
CLCs – the new LRCs

flexibility
hierarchical and non-hierarchical organisational structures

Ilozor (2000)
Happy workers are effective
“ research suggests a correlation between worker productivity, wellbeing, environmental, social and organisational factors.”
Clements-Croome (2007)

Ill advised reduction?
“ Often there is an attempt to reduce maintenance with consequential waste of energy and deteriorating environmental conditions. Evans et al (1998) point out that the building lifetime cost ratios vary but commonly are 1:5:200 to 1:10:200. In other words, the major costs of running an organisation are the salaries of the staff.

Energy efficient buildings
The following features are important:
High levels of thermal insulation
Natural ventilation – connected spaces
Exclude excessive solar gain
High efficiency lighting
Individual control measures
Efficient systems equipment and appliances
Employ effective facilities management

Post Script “ Of course, communication is vital . This means having mutual respect between fellow professionals and an open mind to include expertise from backgrounds different to those with which the building industry is familiar. For the long term, it is important that these issues are reflected in education and training courses.” Clements-Croome (2007)
