Adam Brooke Initial Post

Currently my background in Intelligent Buildings is limited to knowledge gained through a few journal and news articles. Overall my knowledge of the subject is narrow. Expectations for this class include gaining a better knowledge in how "intelligent buildings" are run and designed. A greater knowledge in how to use BIM and database programs is also expected. My initial definition for an "Intelligent Building" is a building that incorporates technology to enhance the use, safety, and comfort of the occupants; through the use of various sensors and computers.
