The intelligent building is supposed to provide the environment and means for an optimal utilization of the building, according to its designation. This extended function of a building can be achieved only by means of an extensive use of building service systems, such as HVAC, electric power, communication, safety and security, transportation, sanitation, etc. Building intelligence is not related to the sophistication of service systems in a building, but rather to the integration among the various service systems, and between the systems and the building structure. Systems' integration can be accomplished through teamwork planning of the building, starting at the initial design stages of the building. This paper examines some existing buildings claimed to be “intelligent”, according to their level of systems' integration. Intelligent buildings respond to the needs of occupants and society, promoting the well-being of those living and working in them and providing value through increasing staff productivity and reducing operational costs. Intelligent Buildings considers cultural changes affecting the way people live and work, the importance of an integrated approach to design and management and the benefits technological developments can bring in developing sustainable buildings that meet users' needs.

Abstract Currently, thermal comfort and indoor air quality are essential elements in designing modern and intelligent buildings or improving existing ones, so that they would provide proper indoor conditions. The article focuses on the thermal sensations of the students of Kielce University of Technology and determining whether the given parameters of the internal environment contributed to their well-being. 164 people aged 16 - 24 participated in the study, which was conducted with the use of a microclimate meter and questionnaires. It turned out that the temperature range from 19.3 °C – 27.6 °C is acceptable and comfortable for nearly 78% of people. As a result of further analysis, it turned out that the research group definitely prefers and feels better in colder temperatures.

The Impact

The article analyzes the scientific works of scientists in the field of engineering and architectural design that have influenced on intelligent office buildings formation. The main criteria for assessing the intelligent buildings in Asia, Europe and America are considered. There are differences in approaches in different parts of the world. Particularly in Asia, the system takes into account the impact on the environment, employee health, comfortable working conditions, the introduction of modern technologies, safety, return on investment, etc. The assessment system named Intelligent Building Index (IBI) consists of 10 Quality Environment Modules (QEM), which have different weights depends on intelligent building type. The second level of the IBI method included a list of 378 criteria, each of which was evaluated by a system of 1 to 100 points. In Europe, it focuses on the interaction of intelligent buildings with humans and the environment, also on minimizing energy consumption and operating costs. In most European countries, intelligent buildings are assessed by Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, BREEAM. In the United States, priority approaches are related to the principles of sustainability and adaptability to rapid changes in technology and human needs. One of the most common criteria for assessing buildings in the United States is the system Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, LEED. The basic architectural methods are singled out: using the wind generators and photovoltaic elements on facades; the arrangement of facades with double glazing; application of automatic blinds between two layers of glazing, etc. It is proved that the intelligent building is not a usual building that just uses an automation building management system (BMS), but first of all, is an "intelligent architecture" with providing sustainable principles and requiring an integrated approach from the first designing stage.

Specific Definition

The world is changing rapidly heading to the future with quick intelligent steps. Adaptation of smart and responsible architecture that can cope with future demands is no more a choice. Nowadays; Smart buildings projects (SBP) is a new trend and very important worldwide type of projects. Smart buildings projects evolved during early 1980s and were called “Intelligent Buildings”. Since then; different definitions have been stated by many institutes and researchers, and the terminology “Intelligent Building” was then replaced with “Smart Building”. SBP in Egypt are rare; they don’t have clear description or specific definition. There is a lack of guidelines to establish a smart building in Egypt and lack of research work discussing SBP, their design, management system, life cycle costs, risks, etc. as well. This paper is concerned with determining the main challenges of SBP in Egypt through both: analysis of literature sources and analysis of some SBP internationaly and comparing them to SBP in Egypt. Finally; the results of the study were collected, analyzed and categorized and the key challenges of SBP in Egypt were determined and pointed out.

AbstractProduct-service systems (PSSs) have attracted researchers in engineering design for the past decades. Recent advances in digital technologies have expanded the potential functionalities that PSSs could deliver and designers' repertoire of tools and techniques to make new value propositions. The key to the success of new value propositions is to achieve customer acceptance and continuous use. However, little is known about the precise routes by which customers accept and use PSSs over time and its dynamics. This conceptual study aims to provide an enhanced view of customer acceptance and continuous use of PSSs by integrating multiple theories and literature streams. In this paper, we suggest three propositions based on the key concepts found in our literature review—well-being, trust and control—, and illustrate a conceptual framework that represents the dynamics of customer acceptance and continuous use of PSSs. Based on the proposed framework, we outline further research questions that could advance our knowledge about design for continuous use of PSSs.

Deliberative Processes

The global disconnect between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), has been described as ‘a missed opportunity’. Since devolution, the Welsh Government has actively pursued a ‘sustainable development’ and a ‘children’s rights’ agenda. However, until recently, these separate agendas also did not contribute to each other, although they culminated in two radical and innovative pieces of legislation; the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure (2013) and the Well-being and Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015). This article offers a case study that draws upon the SDGs and the CRC and considers how recent guidance to Welsh public bodies for implementation attempts to contribute to a more integrated approach. It suggests that successful integration requires recognition of the importance of including children in deliberative processes, using both formal mechanisms, such as local authority youth forums, pupil councils and a national youth parliament, and informal mechanisms, such as child-led research, that enable children to initiate and influence sustainable change.

Building Energy System

Due to the poor effect of traditional systems on constant temperature control, the paper proposes to design an embedded continuous temperature control system in a dynamic, intelligent building. In the smart building, the thesis takes the building as the research object and uses the embedded technology to design the overall structure diagram of the system. The thesis aims at the output control module of the thermostat. It uses the Peltier effect to develop the thermocouple closed-loop and drives the semiconductor refrigeration device select. In the software part, the paper establishes a cross-compilation environment, transplants embedded kernels, and sets fuzzy rules for constant temperature control. The validity of the system design is verified through experiments. It can be seen from the experimental results that the system has a better thermostat control effect.
