Intelligent buildings are highly efficient built environments which

enhance the comfort, increase the productivity of the occupants and
are also designed for energy efficiency. These are well designed
buildings with various control systems that maintain a comfortable
environment adaptively.
Both, the design of the building and the control systems to function
integrally are crucial for its success in order to achieve a level of
building performance with regard to a number of factors such as
illumination, ventilation, cooling, movement and energy efficiency.
The course is a series of lectures, which will identify and elaborate on
each of the aspects of building performance and introduce the
appropriate control systems, integration of control systems in
intelligent buildings.

This course for IT students brings together the multidisciplinary

nature of design in the context of Intelligent buildings.
Students shall gain knowledge regarding the design processes of
intelligent buildings and the role of IT in designing them.

Exams and quizzes, no make-up evaluation.

Attendance in all lectures is mandatory.
