Intelligent Building System
Various terms have been used to describe advances in management technology in buildings. These include building Automation (BAS), Management (BMS) and Intelligent systems (IBS).
Looking back through time, as buildings developed certain services became essential to the design architecture, enabling larger and more purposeful structures to be created. These services have traditionally been Plumbing & Drainage, Heating & Ventilation and Electricity.
Then came Electronics and a diverse set of communications protocols for a multitude of systems that were installed in or around existing or new buildings, more usually than not as retrofits.
This article attempts to describe a picture of modern building intelligence, what this really means, and how it looks.
