Abstract

The level of automation in residential and commercial buildings has risen steadily over the years. This is not only due to the increasing demand for more comfort and convenience, but also the benefits building automation brings with regard to saving and managing energy. Security is another important factor, particularly in residential buildings. Whereas in commercial buildings flexibility is high on the agenda – offices buildings, for example, should be designed in such way that they can be easily adapted to meet any change in use or requirements.
