What is an intelligent building?
A building…
• who’s systems are self reliant
• with sensors relaying data
• that uses the latest technology
• that is the future of buildings

Intelligent Structure
• Use of sensors allows for intelligent design
• Sensors on structural members relay data
to properly remediate issues
• Engineering societies specialize in specific
structural fields
Intelligent Earthquake Engineering
• Earthquake Engineering Research Center
– Uses simulations w/ sensors to create real system
– Real system can resist earthquake effects better than
an sensor-less structure
• National Information Service for Earthquake Engineering
– Archives all data
– Allows for easy accumulation of information
– Aids in research and implementation of “Intelligent
Structure”
Intelligent Wind Engineering
• Wind Engineering Society
– Uses wind tunnel simulations to view effects
of wind on structure
– Sensors allow for data collection for an
intelligent design
– Intelligent design is implemented into actual
building
Smart Brick
• Sensing bricks amongst regular bricks
• Relays temperature and vibrations
• Gives data on structural integrity
• Can provide First Alert Personnel with proper
information on stability prior to entry
