Intelligent buildings integrate technological systems, communications, and controls to create flexible, effective, comfortable, and secure environments for owners, operators, and occupants. Green buildings are high-performance buildings that maximize user comfort and productivity while minimizing environmental impact through integration of technologies, materials, and design features. Technologies and integrated intelligent building systems can help buildings achieve energy efficiency objectives and meet the needs of those constructing or retrofitting green buildings. Accessibility and affordability of these technologies is a consideration.

3. Key Points What technologies and systems are there to support green buildings? How do integrated and intelligent building systems help a building achieve its energy efficiency objectives? What technologies are available to meet the needs of designers, builders etc. who are constructing or retrofitting green buildings? Is this technology accessible and affordable?

6. Green Building Definition Green buildings are high performance buildings, providing healthier living and working environments for less money over the long run. Green buildings are designed to maximize users’ comfort and productivity while levying the smallest possible environmental impact. The key to this high performance building is the integration of the best technologies, materials and features in the design of the building. --Source: Windmill Developments

7. The Opportunities --In the US., buildings account for 65% of electricity consumption and 36% of primary energy use --Operating a typical US household produces 26,000 pounds of greenhouse gases each year --Most No. Americans spend 90% of their lives indoors.

9. Integrated Design Team An Integrated design team and process - dedicated to the integration notion! Integration should be implemented from inception to completion. The initial design stage is perceived as most critical to the process. The guidance of the System Integrator at this stage is indispensable!
