Intelligent electrical installation systems are now making the buildings we occupy easier to install, control and manage, resulting in increased flexibility, security, economic efficiency and convenience.

Modern technology has greatly influenced almost all facets of the world in which we live today. Mobile telephones allow uncomplicated communication from almost any place on earth. Personal computers have revolutionized the workplace, changed our entertainment habits and opened the door to a wealth of information and possibilities via the World Wide Web. And although such advancements have greatly improved our everyday quality of life, we often take them for granted, to the extent that our expectation of technological innovations are sometimes unrealistically high. However, do we apply these same expectations to those places in which we spend a significant part, if not the majority of our time – the buildings in which we live and work?

Certainly, many technical aspects of the construction industry have changed in recent years. For example, innovative materials granting designers new architectural freedom or reduced running costs as a result of improved insulation techniques and the integration of renewable energy sources into building infrastructures. Unfortunately, not all sectors of building technology have advanced as quickly as others. Much of the electrical installation technology used in today's buildings has, on the whole, changed little over past decades.

For most people decisions made on electrical installations in buildings are limited to the choice of an attractive wiring accessory range and deciding on the numbers of switches and socket outlets and their position in the room. The integration of additional and meaningful functions, for example, intelligent lighting control, electrical blinds, individual room temperature control, security monitoring, presence detection, multimedia infrastructures, to name but a few, is seldom if at all. Thankfully, things have also started to change and the development of next generation electrical installation technology is gathering pace.

The "intelligent building", the "smart home", the "house of the future" are all terms that many of us have heard about and that have been constantly popping up in the media for the past couple of years. But what exactly do they mean? What are the benefits? What solutions are available today? How can I implement them in my building and at what cost and return of investment? Such questions understandably come to mind when inquiring about the suitability of an intelligent electrical installation system. However, more often than not, they are unsatisfactorily answered by the general media or dismissed as toys for 'technology.

ogy freaks' or the fabulously wealthy. Unfortunately, this ill-informed portrayal could not be further from the truth and thus the full potential of many buildings ideally suited to intelligent building controls remains unrealized.
