The Networked Building Say that you walk into a building and the lights turn on according to where you are, or you are sitting in an area of the building and the heat/air-conditioning is personally adjusted from you desk. This can all be done from networking aspects of your building into the IT network. There are many names for this type of building, such as smart building, integrated building, intelligent building, and so on. The bottom line is that this is a building where the building automation systems and the IT systems have been fused together into one entity(Lee). Buildings are constructed to serve the needs of both occupants and businesses, and while occupants need facilities with a comfortable, safe, and healthy environment, businesses need reliable communication and technical equipment to perform their work.
