Intelligent Buildings Design and Implementation (2018)

This research reports on the practices, challenges, process influencers and opportunities pertaining to intelligent building design and implementation. Traditional design and implementation processes are inadequate when catering to the needs of dynamic entities such as intelligent buildings. By undertaking this project, members of the CABA Intelligent Buildings Council (IBC) sought to understand the importance and implications of adopting the right design practices and implementation methods that could bolster the adoption of the concept of intelligent buildings and the technologies and services associated with it. The research examined the concept of intelligent buildings design and implementation processes from the perspective of building owners, occupants, vendors and service providers, industry associations, and think tanks.
