Research equipment and computation techniques for Intelligent Building applications

Intelligent Building, as a concept, has been established nearly 30 years ago, and it covered the field of building automation. In time, the concept evolved to cover more dynamic systems of complex elements, which actively responds to user´s demands. As a result of a project named Intelbuild (HURO 0802/155_AF), University of Oradea and University of Debrecen had developed a laboratory platform with research equipment and software to support research in the Intelligent Building domain. Our paper synthesizes ideas related to applications which can be developed with these equipment and software. The Intelbuild project can be seen as a precursor of project DEnzero (TÁMOP-4.2.2.A-11/1/KONV-2012-0041) developed by the University of Debrecen.
