Association Continental Automated Buildings Association “ To encourage the development, promotion, pursuit and understanding of integrated systems and automation in homes and buildings.” Mission Statement:

Definition of Intelligent Building Technologies “ The use of integrated technological building systems, communications and controls to create a building and its infrastructure which provides the owner, operator and occupant with an environment which is flexible, effective, comfortable and secure.” Source: Technology Roadmap for Intelligent Buildings (

Broadband Definitions: The FCC has defined “broadband” or “high-speed” or “advanced” Internet services if it offers at least 200 Kbps in both directions (upstream and downstream).

The Residential Approach It is already here! Just pick it up!

Technology Penetration in New Homes Source: NAHBRC/CEA ( Penetration figures represent technologies offered as either standard or upgrades by builders).

Type of Installation Contractors used for Home Electronics As a relatively new labor category, custom installers rank just behind the more-established fields of security companies and electricians. Totals add up to more than 100 percent because many builders use more than one type of contractor. Source: NAHBRC/CEA

How to Integrate? Imperative # 1 An Integrated design team and process - dedicated to the integration notion! Integration should be implemented from inception to completion. The initial design stage is perceived as most critical to the process. The guidance of the System Integrator at this stage is indispensable!

What will Dominate our Residence! The future holds much more -integrating building structure - detecting structural failures, corrosion, bursting pipes, etc………..
