Case Study: Walker Engineering's Holistic Approach to Converged Smart Building Infrastructure Design

Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:40:00 EST

The idea of an intelligent building infrastructure, or "smart building", is not particularly new. In theory at least, the concept of integrating a facility's various services, such as security, access control, HVAC, data, voice, and video, into a centrally controlled system offers a list of benefits. These systems support an extremely flexible infrastructure, rapid deployment, reduced labor, improved asset management, maximum ability to interact with "smart" devices, and more efficient utilization of the deployed cabling and pathways. For the eventual building owners, facility managers, and tenants, the capital cost saving from resource optimization, the energy efficiencies, and long-term operating cost savings of a smart building approach make selecting these systems a no-brainer...
