Smart Buildings
Focuses on the changes in the construction supply system – a prerequisite for the design, management and production of smart buildings. Defines smart buildings and suggests that the construction industry is considered to be conservative in adopting new technologies and slow to change. Highlights experiences with commercial building of the 1980s, which suggests the construction industry can accommodate changes. Gives an internal perspective of smart buildings and reveals variations in the development of these in various countries. Provides an outline of procedures and structures in the changing environment of construction which have resulted in structural changes in the construction process. Finally, indicates that a new class of specialist may emerge.
