 BUILDING INTEGRATION :Definition

Building integration is the organized consideration of HVAC, structural,

lighting, exterior envelope and other assemblies of a facility for the
purpose of reducing energy, material and time consumption, as well as
other things, in the satisfaction of a detailed performance specification.
Building Systems-Introduction

 Designating the necessary systems of a built facility

to be the following:

Heating,
Architecture Structure Exterior Ventilation Lighting Plumbing
Envelope and Air
Conditioning.

 UNIFICATION OF SYSTEMS-INTEGRATION

“The more unified a building is, the more difficult it is to

call out its distinct systems; parts often have more than
one purpose and defy simple generic classification.”

This unification is often the

result of a process in which
separate systems have
converged to achieve multiple
performance goals with the This particular form of integration is
utilization of a singular often the most difficult to achieve
element. and must be evaluated very
carefully.

EXAMPLE EXPLANATION

 More unified a building is, the more hard to call its distinct
systems.
 An African mud and Thatch dwelling is taken as an example.

 STRATEGY FOR INTEGRATION
 A successful strategy for building integration may result in one or
more of the following:

Time: A reduction in the overall design time - all

consultants included - necessary to fully design all
aspects of a building.
Material A reduction in the overall quantity of
material consumed during the construction of the
facility.

Continuing Costs · A reduction in the overall cost

of operation for the facility.
STRATEGY FOR INTEGRATION

Environment A reduction in the

fully assessed environmental
impact on the local area, the
region, and the world. 0R

Space an increase in the

efficiency of the use of space as
measured by the ratio of enclosed
net to gross square feet (meters).
Building Integration System –

 The Building Integration System combines a number of

technical systems: fire and intrusion alarm, video
monitoring, access control and evacuation systems.
 Practical application: Successfully integrating building
services such as water, air, electricity and data into a
single trunking delivery system would offer an
important advancement in reducing services installation
cost, maintenance and the running cost of a building.
Building services
 Building services are the systems installed in buildings to
make them comfortable, functional, efficient and safe
 Building services might include:
 Building control systems.
 Energy distribution.
 Energy supply (gas, electricity and renewable sources
such as solar, wind, geothermal and biomass).
 Escalators and lifts.
 Facade engineering (such as building shading
requirements).
 Fire safety, detection and protection.
 Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).
 Information and communications technology (ICT) networks.
 Lighting (natural and artificial).
 Lightning protection.
 Refrigeration.
 Security and alarm systems.
 Water, drainage and plumbing (including sustainable urban
drainage systems (SUDS)).
 Carbon emissions calculations and reduction.
