What does an integrated building include?
Integration, interoperability in high-performance buildings
When information and operational technology collaborate with business leaders, facility managers gain secure access to the data they need to achieve their sustainability goals
Integrating building systems through controls
By considering updated controls architecture, integrating building systems together becomes much more attainable and streamlined
Outcome-driven system integration in smart buildings
Digitalization is evolving the design and operation of the built environment and a smart building design approach can focus on outcomes that deliver results
The benefits of integrated fire protection and life safety system testing
NFPA 3 and NFPA 4 explore integrated fire protection and life safety system testing and are vital to a building’s overall fire/life safety implementation.
Designing passive and active fire protection systems
Fire protection engineers should consider the building's construction, fire suppression systems, and smoke control when designing active and passive fire protection systems. The International Building Code and NFPA standards provide guidance on passive and active fire protection systems.
Building systems integration best practices
Building automation systems (BAS) allow for state-of-the-art systems integration in nonresidential buildings.
