The Intelligent Building in Europe
Abstract
“Intelligent building” is a commonly used though little understood expression in the facilities arena. Explains that building, space and business management are the three main goals of an organization occupying a building. A cost/benefits model must examine efficiency and effectiveness productivity and the additional costs/disbenefits associated with intelligence. Identifies further three developing integration activities in the building development cycle – project, systems and services integration, and concludes that the “virtual building”, which maximizes both efficiency and effectiveness gains, is the ideal.
