THEME
A study on impacts of Technological development on Architectural Infrastructure
JUSTIFICATION OF THEME
In the course of time technology has become a part of our life . It have brought significant changes in lifestyle as well as architectural design and infrastructure. It exists everywhere in all the things we do all the things we make Technology is everywhere in our surrounding , sometimes its visible but most of the time it plays its role in unseen way . we are surrounded by thousands of things from simplest to most complex , smallest to largest , in terms of design mechanism, production, material etc. We think of a Xerox machine as a good option to copy our documents , but do we see the changes it brought to the whole system of living , what all things it replaced and what new requirements it brought along with it . Buildings are not an exception to these impacts of technological development. Since time immemorial, buildings have been evolving from caves to huts, houses, tall buildings has taken place through various trends of architecture. A noticeable impact on the architectural design was seen due to industrialization. The invention of lifts in the mid-19th century made possible for architecture to go higher. Thus, buildings evolved from low rise to high rise and so on. Today, architecture is going through many new trends such as green buildings, intelligent buildings, energy efficient architecture, etc. These trends and changes in
the design of buildings are due to development in various fields. Ever since technology has intervened in architecture, it plays a great role, bringing about changes in the architectural design. We adopt technology as :
It gives solution to many problems and need of the hour. It gives better results. It makes things easier to make, to use, to perform etc. It gives many new possibilities.
Building technologies are developing and advancing at great speed at present. Earlier people are reluctant to adopt technologies in the construction industry so the advancement were poor but today integration of technology have become necessary and important for various reasons. present buildings are not just static concrete walls with doors and windows to provide a shelter ,it have become a entity for variety of functions with integrated technologies to support various type of functions and business objectives . Static design and conventional approach to buildings no longer satisfy the need of todays built environment

INTELLIGENT BUILDING
WHAT IS AN INTELLIGENT BUILDING?
A. An intelligent building can be defined as one which provides a productive and cost effective environment through optimization of its four basic elements. These basic elements consist of the structure, systems, services and management, as well as the inter-relationships between them. Intelligent Buildings help building owners, property managers and occupants realize their goals in the areas of cost, comfort, convenience and safety, combined with long term flexibility and marketability. B. An intelligent building is in essence one that integrates disparate building systems such as lighting, HVAC, safety, security, power management, shared network, voice and data communication, etc. to effectively manage resources in a coordinated mode and provide significant high performance benefits. C. An ideal intelligent building should provide a dynamic and responsive infrastructure using technology so as to optimize processes, comfort, flexibility, effectiveness, energy efficiency, costs and environmental benefits

survey results have uncovered the most pertaining challenges for Saudi office buildings. The most important challenge found in this survey as shown in Figure 9 is the lack of awareness; that is simply not being up-todate with the advances of smart building technologies and recent high-tech developments in intelligent buildings and integrated automation. This issue might have affected the infancy level of intelligent and smart buildings in the Saudi construction industry as is portrayed by the second highest challenge of other internal factors. Further challenges of a lesser impact include high initial cost or lack of funding, lack of executive support from high administration or building owners, and immaturity of today's technology solutions.

In india, an intelligent building must fulfill 3 conditions. They are: The building should have advanced automatic control system to monitor various facilities, including air-conditioning, temperature, lighting, security, fire etc. to provide a comfortable working environment for the tenants. The building should have good networking infrastructure to enable data flow between floors The building should provide adequate telecommunication facilities.
An intelligent building must be smart enough to vary the environment to suit the users and also to provide various means of communication or network

regardless of whether it is internal or external. Building intelligence starts with monitoring and controlling information services known as Building Automation System (BAS). BAS is able to optimize environmental and safety aspects in an economical way. This can be achieved by using computers, together with function distribution control techniques, to optimize the usage of various pieces of equipment within the building such as the electrical facilities, the air-conditioning systems, fire-prevention equipments and security devices. Intelligent building, with the use of automated control system such as BAS, enables both building owners and tenants enjoy the benefits of financial gain and enhanced accommodation/management quality.

Building energy efficiency Thermal and electrical energy (in the example: heat and electricity) should bekept to a minimum to achieve a high degree of energy efficiency. The energy efficiency value for an individual building is determined by comparing it to reference values. It could, for example, be documented in an energy pass for the building. Executing regulations are assigned to the individual countries as per EN standard to determine the size of the reference values or how to calculate them.
22
Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS), Building Control System (BCS), and/or Building Management System (BMS)same as Building Automation System or the subject of this page. ControlsThis term is appropriate in describing discrete devices that control particular pieces of equipment or processes. Direct Digital Control (DDC)describes the communication method used in modern devices (hardware and software).
A thesis report by Manvendra Singh

Collectively, DDC products control various building systems and form the automation system.
Energy Management System (EMS)generally understood to be the same as a Building Automation System but may have special emphasis on energy metering/monitoring Energy Management and Control Systemwell, youre getting the idea. Smart (Intelligent) Buildinga building equipped with a datarich BAS.
4.1.2 WHAT IS CONTROLLED? Generally, building automation begins with control of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. For instance, the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is almost always controlled, including control of its various pieces of equipment such as:
Chillers Boilers Air Handling Units (AHUs) Roof-top Units (RTUs) Fan Coil Units (FCUs) Heat Pump Units (HPUs) Variable Air Volume boxes (VAVs)
Lighting control is, likewise, low-hanging fruit for optimizing building performance.
24
Other systems that are often controlled and/or brought under a complete automation system include:
Power monitoring Security Close circuit video (CCTV) Card and keypad access Fire alarm system Elevators/escalators Plumbing and water monitoring
4.1.3 TYPES OF BUILDING AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS Early control systems were pneumatic or air-based and were generally restricted to controlling various aspects of the HVAC system. Common pneumatic devices include controllers, sensors, actuators, valves, positioners, and regulators. Due to their large base of installation throughout the 1960s and 1970s, pneumatic control systems are still in place in a majority of existing buildings, especially in established metropolitan areas. Analog electronic control devices became popular throughout the 1980s. They provided faster response and higher precision than pneumatics. However, it was not until digital control or DDC devices came on the scene in the 1990s that a true automation system was possible. However, as there were no established standards for this digital

their
own
(proprietary) communication methods. The automation system was fully functional but was not
interoperable or capable of mixing products from various manufacturers. Thus, a given building or portfolio could be locked into a specific manufacturer. This is not necessarily a problem unless the relationship with the associated service provider is challenging. By the late 1990s and especially into the 2000s, movements were afoot to standardize on open communication systems. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) developed the BACnet communication protocol that eventually became the industry open standard. 4.1.4 WHAT DOES A BAS LOOK LIKE? Most of the automation system is behind the scenes as hardware devices mounted to equipment or hidden underfloor or in the ceiling. Some personalized control can be made available through thermostat-like devices. From a central management perspective, the BAS resides as software on an operator workstation (computer) or is available as a web page. Various types of controllers manage equipment and portions of the network. Sensors provide input data to the controllers.

Fig.8 Building Automation SystemTree 4.1.5 WHO INSTALLS OR SERVICES A BAS? A properly trained in-house staff can manage the operation and, sometimes, the maintenance of the BAS. However, system design and initial installation is almost always accomplished by controls professionals such as dedicated controls contractors or system integrators. In practice, the controls contractor is a sub-contractor to the mechanical contractor. Sometimes, the mechanical contractor will have a dedicated controls division. Electrical contractors with controls teams are also common and multi-functional system integrators are becoming more common for todays complex facilities. These controls professionals can provide on-going service or train your in-house staff to self-perform service.
27
The automation system can also offer you an incredible amount of data related to building performance, and with this data in hand, you can make more intelligent decisions. And, if you are building green, be aware that an automation system can contribute greatly to your ability to earn such recognition as the EPA ENERGY STAR or the LEED certification associated with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

cameras. To protect their investment, video baluns and video servers are interim steps customers can implement prior to a system-wide change to IP video cameras.
4.2.2
IP Video Surveillance- New digital IP cameras connected to the corporate IP network enable electronic monitoring anywhere in the world, making IP video surveillance A simple and effective tool. When combined with video analytics, businesses can be proactive in their surveillance, monitoring and preventing tailgating (when more than one employee enters the building with only one employee card swipe). And as wide surveillance coverage is needed, cameras can simply be plugged in at any available RJ45
29
outlet, making IP video surveillance very scalable. 4.2.3 Alarms & Sensors- Alarms and sensors are analogs to the human bodys five senses, detecting what is happening in an environment and reporting that information to a controller that can take action. Connecting sensors and alarms like thermostats and emergency exit doors to an IP-enabled controller allows both everyday and emergency situations to become enhanced with multi-system response. 4.2.4 Access- Todays access is worlds beyond the traditional, lock-and-key, but many workplaces demand even tighter access control. IP-linked access enables control systems like card readers and biometrics, but it also provides enhanced benefits like lighting and HVAC activation to conserve energy, and central building messaging upon entry, in case of emergency evacuation. 4.2.5 HVAC- Keeping building temperature in a comfortable range is difficult, and enterprises have learned that giving HVAC control to employees or tenants does not work due to overcompensation. New IP-enabled HVAC systems tie into servers with sophisticated software, allowing monetary penalties if tenants exceed agreed-upon levels as well as providing for future weather forecasting that enables adjustments in advance.

4.2.6
Communications- Voice, video and data systems are always evolving, as business communications adopt a standardsbased, globally-accepted structured connectivity solution. Today, solutions are available for voice, data and video in both wired and wireless enterprise networks
4.2.7
Energy -Enterprises have an on going struggle to control growing energy usage. But IP-enabled HVAC systems allow usage to be determined by tenant access, with tight degreechange ranges set by advance agreement with tenants to eliminate energy waste
4.2.8
Fire Energy Enterprises have an ongoing struggle to control growing energy usage. But IP-enabled HVAC systems allow usage to be determined by tenant access, with tight degreechange ranges set by advance agreement with tenants to eliminate energy waste
4.2.9
Elevators - Elevators in high-rise buildings are becoming highly connected, with telephones, cellular phone coverage, flat panel TVs, and surveillance cameras. The interconnection of these various systems enhances the tenant experience, improves safety and communication, while also offering the possibility of video advertising or announcements
4.2.10
Lighting - The struggle to control energy usage is a neverending battle for businesses. Installing smart IPinterconnected systems can control energy usage by turning
