The future of the building industry is design of intelligent building. The majority of modern public and residential buildings are designed with the goal of minimizing costs through decreasing energy usage. Increasing energy preservation strategies and utilizing sustainable design approaches are essential factors in developing this field. Although the concept of an intelligent building is not a new concept and there is no common definition of what is intelligent building. Terms of “Intelligent Building” was first used in the United States in early 1980 and after the 1980 this concept was spread around the world.   According to the Intelligent Buildings Institute, Intelligent building defines as one that optimizes four essential features to produce a productive and cost-effective environment. Those features are structure, systems, services and management and also those features should interrelationship between them. On the other hand intelligent building can be defined as a building capable of achieving optimum life cycle cost of occupancy and increase organizational productivity through its inherent design and management. The Gates’ Home, Edge Amsterdam, Capital Tower, Glumac Los Angeles, The Crystal are the most famous intelligent building in the world.  When considering about the features of intelligent building, it can be illustrate following way. 

• Connecting building system

A building with modern technology connects all of the equipment and systems in the building and it allows them to be notified in real time and access historical recordings of what happened a few minutes, hours, or days ago and also allowing them to remotely control the building's systems in the event of an emergency.

• Connecting people and technology

Intelligent buildings are ones that make it simple and intuitive for people to take use of the newest technological developments. Accessibility for the impaired, for example, with automated door opening, fall detection, voice control, and other features.

• Controlling buildings expenditures

The application of technology in the design of intelligent buildings helps consumers to save money on various supplies such as heating, lighting, and water.

• Centralized control of the building behavior

Anyone with connectivity to a centralized platform can view the building's behavior in a screenshot and make the necessary changes. As well as by using this technology, can be controlled and automated different systems installed in the building like lighting, electricity, air conditioning, doors, windows, generators, and other systems. 

• Connecting smart grid

Buildings will become more sustainable and efficient in the coming years, and we will see them grow more capable of predicting ambient temperature and contracting light according on their requirements. 

Apart from that to become an intelligent building gain some advantages to the organization. Such are,

• Reduce energy consumption 

• Space optimization 

• Improve comfort level of the organization 

• Increase productivity 

• Ensure health and safety of the occupants 

• Easy for decision making procedure 

• Conserve natural resource 

• Provide indoor environmental quality
