B4- Green Building vs Intelligent Building

My final project will be to write about these two concepts as the title indicates; the objective is to hopefully provide a clear distinction between the two, and to further assist by elaborating on the basic knowledge regarding the subject. This will be done by discussing the concepts and general theories developed on the subject, providing the main characteristics and definitions of both intelligent and green building, method of construction, materials, advantages and disadvantages, impacts on the environment, common interests and connections between the two.

As mentioned above, this is primarily about intelligent building, and it will discuss how intelligent building technologies can develop green building. Additionally, some of the common knowledge that has been already found about intelligent building are: they have higher level of security, easy to monitor, and include information integrated systems, but they were also proven to be of higher cost due to installation systems, and system complexion. Some of the challenges that we might encounter are: issues in finding case study for the two concepts (green & intelligent buildings) to illustrate the arguments presented and concrete data to elaborate on the comparison between the two.

Tyler,

Your writing on how intelligent building technologies can be used to make a building more green will be very interesting; This is one aspect of intelligent building that I have not given a lot of thoughts, but the summary of your paper highlights everything that I needed to get a clear picture on this relationship between intelligent and green buildings. I agree to the fact that both buildings have closely similar goals but they use different methods, and I would have appreciated to know which one is more efficient in some specific goal as example impact on the environment.

 Thach,

I found your project subject very inspiring, and implementing intelligent appliances into intelligent building is a must in order to get the network system of the building more efficient. I completely agree with the fact that switching these appliances in an old hose is one of the first step into intelligent building, but I wonder what would be the outcome if such appliances are installed in a green house.

Bach,

Your project subject: underground intelligent building is very interesting; you have addressed some of the most important concerns that we have nowadays about tall buildings. You have mentioned that about 27% of the top ten tallest building are vanity height; I was hoping that this fact was elaborated a little more, and I agree that building underground seems safer, but I question if the environment impact will be less on the surrounding.
