Summary
The emergence of intelligent buildings is founded on the rapid development of microcomputer and internet technology as well as the advance of information and communication technology. With the help of these technologies, office affairs have shifted from the traditional pattern of labor intense and large volume to the flexible, diverse, efficient, user-friendly, and highly reliable operations. Meanwhile the growing popularity of broadband networks has brought the Evernet system into residential buildings earlier than expected. As a result, the era of information appliances (IA) has become reality. The IA is gradually fitting in our everyday living.
The automated equipments which were originally used in the intelligent office buildings are being installed in the residential buildings and houses as well. The intelligent houses and the intelligent communities are taking shape.
To reduce the energy consumption, the development of “green buildings” has become
