Effective integration
ensures processes and
products (systems) work effectively for
people.
Principles of Integrated System Design
the brief; the need for well structured
procedures; the importance of human and social
criteria; effective team working all driven by
holistic and creative thinking
Elliot (2009) and The Royal Academy of Engineering
Technology and Integration
design and installation; commissioning andpost-occupancy evaluation; operation and maintenance;up- grading technology.
Barriers to Systems Integration
speed of innovation; technology becomes outdated quickly;
interoperability across systems; and
the operational availability of the systems; reliability is vital if expensive downtime is to be avoided.
Integrated Open Systems Approach
gives annual life cycle costs of 57p/m2, compared with 90p/m2 for a traditional approach because of
lower operating costs due to faster maintenance and upgrades
Whole life cycle costs saving 4.5%
Report for the Converged Building Technologies Group by Bowen (2005)
Effective IntegrationDocumentary evidence on integrated
processes; Proven and tested processes to be
adapted and used on other similar projects;
Auditing and monitoring processes; a Unity of Vision between consultants,
contractors, manufacturers and facilities managers.
The 5 C’s help to achieve the 5 E’s:
Communication

EffectivenessEfficiencyEfficacyEconomy+Expresssion
Integration
The Systems Integrator ensures all the stakeholders are integrated into the project, and needs the following skills:
experience of how systems can be integrated;
an ability to think strategically and innovatively across disciplines; logistic skills;
good leadership and communication skills.
The choice of a systems integrator dependson these skills rather than disciplines.
Sustainable Design Adds Value
Sustainability Risk or Opportunity?
Can you afford to be sustainable?– (Perceived) higher build cost
Can you afford not to be sustainable?– Taxes– Penalties– Rising prices– A changing environment– Occupier awareness– Increasing legislation– Shareholder pressure– New investment opportunities– Capital value - ‘two tier market’
Hirigoyen J., 2009, Trends in responsible property, Jones Lang LaSalle
LEED Rated Buildings
cost 6% more to build; have occupancy rates over 4%
higher;command 2-6% higher rents; save 10-50% in energy
consumption;decreased operating costs; increased building value 10% in
2008 Hirigoyen (2009) ;Bernstein and Russo (2010)
Perceived Business Benefits of Green Building Increasing
Expected Increase by Building Owners
2005 2008
Decreased Operating Cost 8.9% 13.6% 5%+ (3 years)
Increased Building Values 7.5% 10.9% 11
Improvement in ROI 6.6% 9.9% 5%+ (3 years)
Increased Occupancy 3.5% 6.4% 11% (1 year)

Capital Cost Increase - -
Bernstein H and Russo M, 2009. McGraw Hill Construction
Do Green Buildings Really Cost More?
Capital E Group and Lawrence Berkeley
studied 100 green buildings concluded:
LEED rated green buildings have $60/sqft financial benefits
more than 10x benefit of additional construction cost (energy/water/productivity/health)
Sarah Daly, 2010, Heath Avery Architects
sick building syndrome overheated, under-ventilated, artificial
lighting high energy use - expensive increased requirement for agency staff less money to spend on front-line lower patient satisfaction

PEOPLE
Environmental Design Affects
Well-Being of People
www.t-mac.co.uk [email protected]
What drives human behaviour ?
• Consumerism = more demand on our working conditions
• Fashion/popular culture
• Rise of the comfort expectations
Integrating Human Behaviour with Buildings
and Systems Performance
www.t-mac.co.uk [email protected]
Building users now IT literate and demand local control but can:
• change control strategies by overriding local
controllers
• let a/c run at the same time as heating• forget to change time-clocks for day light saving or bank holidays
• prop windows and doors open• run industrial machinery inefficiently
Integrating Human Behaviour with Buildings
and Systems Performance
Low carbon buildings can be unsustainable if the human needs are neglected
Healthier buildings are automatically low carbon
but not all low carbon buildings are healthy workplaces
Overheated buildings are wasteful, uncomfortable and lower productivity
Each deg C rise is about 8% in energy terms in UK
Air Quality and Temperature Equally Important
Emphasise Well-being and Freshness rather than Comfort
Improved People Performance in Green
Buildings? Sickness Absence is reduced Natural light and ventilation increase
accuracy, concentration .health and well-being ,happiness, attitudes...
Productivity gains of up to 6-16% often cited

Ventilation rates to provide fresh air with good distribution and acceptable levels of CO2
Good natural lighting
Minimal lighting glare from within and external to the space
Spatial planning and settings to suit various types of working
Ergonomic work places so as to minimise muscular-skeletal disorders
Minimum pollution from external sources including noise
Does Environment Affect Learning ?
Learning in primary school children is affected by CO2 levels
78% of head teachers think there is a clear link between the quality of school design and levels of pupil attainment
Williams (2005) reported a similar conclusion for 12 primary schools assessed using the Building Quality Assessment method.
Mean CO2 concentrations (±SD) according to the experimental conditions during the computerized performance tests in16 classrooms at 8 schools
* For Schools 1-3 no recirculation was made; the low ventilation condition was obtained by leaving the
windows in closed position

Solar Charging Clothing
Portable solar chargers like the U-Powered solar charger from Kiwi Choice are a handy way to keep mobile devices like smartphones, cameras and media players topped up with electricity while on the go. GO Solar Power comprises a range of clothing items that feature pockets to house solar panels to charge up mobile electronic devices.
Liquid Foam Makes for Smarter Greenhouses
Canadian company Sunarc has a developed a new liquid foam shading system that mimics cloud cover to automatically shade greenhouses. As the liquid foam filters the sunlight, it reduces solar radiation and controls temperature, but doesn’t deprive the plants of vital light spectra they require for photosynthesis.
Streetlight Trees
Taiwanese scientists have created trees that could function as streetlights. They infused the leaves of Bacopa Caroliniana with gold nanoparticles which causes the chlorophyll to produce a reddish luminescence.
Bacteria Heal Cracks in Walls
Researchers have designed bacteria that can produce a special glue to knit together cracks in concrete structures.
Fujitsu Converts Heat and Light into Electricity with a Single

Hierarchical Structure of the Internet
Tangled web: The image shows the hierarchical structure of the Internet, based on the connections between individual nodes (such as service providers). Three distinct regions are apparent: an inner core of highly connected nodes, an outer periphery of isolated networks, and a mantle-like mass of peer-connected nodes. The bigger the node, the more connections it has. Those nodes that are closest to the center are connected to more well-connected nodes than are those on the periphery.

Recommendations
Tenets for Intelligent Buildings
Plan and design with an Integrated Team so that clients, consultants, contractors, facilities managers all develop a commitment to the project and want to fulfil the environmental, social and economic aims.
Systems and holistic thinking are key.
Assess the impacts of the buildings on occupants and communities nearby.
Occupants behaviour has a large effect on the consumption of energy and water so try to increase awareness of occupants to the impact of their actions on resources.
Aim to increase the built asset value for the organisation
Understand users perceptions: understand the physical and psychological well-being.
Design for Flexible and agile space
Provide Individual control of environmental conditions
Use smart metering but wireless sensor technology becoming applicable in building operation for personal use by consumers.
Develop data management systems
to give feedback on the performance of spaces in the building.
Understand the interaction between the building, systems and the occupants
Commission pre-occupancy and post-occupancy evaluation are vital.
Use a whole life value approach to
ensure quality and whole life costs considered.
Aim for simplicity rather than complexity in operation.
Think about well-being and freshness besides comfort and
consider all the senses and how air, view, daylight, sound, colour ,greenery and space affect us in the workplace.
Connectivity is important for
Interoperability not only between the systems and the building but also between the occupant and the building
Design for flexibility and adaptability
Think of an Intelligent building as an organism responding to human and environmental needs but also one that needs to “breathe” through the facade between the external and internal environments.
The façade transfers light, solar radiation, air, noise, and moisture but also links occupants to the outside world so intelligent or smart facades allow these aspects to be controlled in a way which is functional but also
Design environment to be enjoyable to those working and living inside the building.
Balance efficiency with effectiveness.
An air supply system for example can deliver the “right” amount of air to a space and be deemed efficient but may not be effective in the space because it has no impact on the breathing zone where the people are.
Plan facilities management so the building is cared for
Design beyond the expectations defined in Regulations.
Keep abreast of relevant fields of knowledge and innovation.
Learn from other sectors and disciplines
Develop an integrated approach to education to meet sustainable agenda
