Abstract :
In the past years, buildings are designed to be more and more powerful and intelligent mechanism, but it is still far from being perfect since building systems are lack of a uniform specification to establish standards for various appliances and communication protocol, and are also lack of a robust kernel to integrate all sub-systems in the buildings. For the former problem, we expect that the major appliance producers will eventually set up the standard for the appliances and communication protocol. For the latter problem, this paper proposes a complete system architecture with integrated control kernel to construct an intelligent building system rapidly and efficiently.
