Abstract
The chapter provides an introduction to the subject, even though it assumes that readers are familiar with basic building physics’ concepts. It also presents specific definitions to the subject (intelligent, smart, responsive and adaptive) making it clear that the aim of the book has to do with energy-conscious design and architecture of intelligent building envelopes. Readers can find that the design philosophy of the book is that intelligence is not only a collection of smart devices and mechanical systems but the product of a careful architectural and informed design process .
