2 Introduction
Intelligent buildings (IBs) are the future of building industry in the world. IBs relate
to buildings that contain high-speed local area networks, protocols, fiber optics,
multimedia environments and even satellite conferencing. It is generally believed that
all modern IBs in the world possess advanced information technologies (ITs). The
trend is for most building service systems to be integrated into an IT environment,
which is an essential tool for an IB. IBs utilize advanced information, control and
mechatronic technologies as well as employ smart structure and modern management
theories. Asian Institute of Intelligent Buildings (AIIB) was published the Intelligent
Building Index (IBI) Manual version 3.0 in 2005. The IBI model is classified into ten
indices for intelligent building assessment.
In the past, many commercial buildings (e.g. Two International Finance Centre,
Cyberport, Science Park, etc) were obtained the IB Award in Hong Kong. Other types
of building have not awarded therefore education institution was chosen for intelligent
building assessment. Many difficulties and constraints were occurred during the
assessment. Some problems were found out through the assessment; moreover,
recommendation will be provided for improvement of building performance to
achieve the better intelligent building purposes.
In this report, an educational Institution construction project - School of
Communication and the School of Creative/Visual Arts (Baptist University) - is
selected as our case study to investigate and evaluate the application for Intelligent
Building Assessment Audit by attempting to review the building design and other
building provisions to comply with the competency and fulfillment formulated in the

5 Assumption of Intelligent Building Assessment
Owing to under construction of school building, on-site measurement should not be
carried out throughout site investigation and some photos were taken only. These
results of assessment were only reflected the building performance based on the
design information and data such as design criteria, technical specification and
drawing.
As above mentioned, testing and commissioning of building services system by using
instruments and equipments should not be performed in the system operation. The
accuracy of results of such parameters for building performance audit is slightly
effect.

Department of Building and ConstructionBC6622 Intelligent Building Assessment
As shown from the above table, the highest score index is M4 (Working Efficiency
Index) and the lowest score index is M5 (Culture Index).
The major reason of the highest score of M4 is simply because the assessed buildingis a relative new building. The most of the parameters of this index are covered in the
design stage of the building construction. Only some minor areas such as the
provision of carpark space or factors greatly dependent on the provision of tenants are
not fully covered.
Whereas the Culture Index scores a lowest mark as the design of the building is
mainly put in the fully utilization of the space of the building and hence limited effort
had been put on this field.
Module 1 Green Index
Many green features are provided for school of communication-cum-school of
creative / visual arts building.
i) Podium garden and sculpture garden
Podium garden is provided at level 3 of the building to serve as an outdoor studio to
cope with various requirements in art training. Sculpture garden created through a
combination of these feature elements will be a series of outdoor rooms containing
seating and spaces for exhibition.
ii) Air cooled heat recovery chillers
Waste heat of air cooled heat recovery chillers is rejected for using reheating and
humidity control of air-conditioning system to achieve the energy efficiency.

is efficient.
The entrance width is found not enough while the peak hour such as morning, lunch
& after school period. About a thousand population fall will happen which the
improvement work to be considered.
No entertainment facilities should be provided inside the building area which is not
suitable for University Campus. Further review planning of room usage and purpose
to be recommended, aim to provide a lot bit facilities into building may be better.
Not available to review the condition such as the MVAC, lavatory accessories &
Lighting performance etc because the building is still in construction and not yet in
operation. Those items is reflected the performance index in future facilities
management and to be improved on our assessment after building in operation.

performance etc because the building is still in construction and not yet in operation.
Those items is reflected the performance index in future facilities management and to
be improved on our assessment after building in operation.
Module 5 Culture Index
Since the building is a purpose-built academic building, it focuses more on the interior
design for teaching rooms, lecture theatres, workshops, studios, galleries etc. No food
and beverage supply is available inside the building. One of the special features is that
a 1860 m2 garden for exhibition space for sculpture and as an informal tutorial area
for art students which can be treated as a entertainment facility within the building.
The landscape immediately adjacent to the building is provided with small garden,
walkways and greenery inside the building as a mean to reduce green island effect.
The building is sited near other educational institution like HKIVE (Lee Wai Lee),
some secondary schools and low density residential buildings. Therefore, the
harmonization is quite good for this building. As it is surrounded by low rise
residential building, the external view is acceptable because it is not blocked by any
building towards Western Kowloon.
Module 6 High-tech Image Index
In general, this building has a good provision of electrical supply and broadband
internet according to its design. Smart card access control system and CCTV system
are employed for security control in the building. Raise floor is adopted in server
rooms which provides space for trucking, pipe duct etc. It is convenient for facility

management team to carry out maintenance works with ease. Building automation
system (BAS) is included in design to control and monitor the ACMV system,
electrical power, lighting, fire services and lift system which greatly reduces the
manpower in daily operation and maintenance. Extensive use of robots is still not
applicable in the building as the teaching facilities can control easily by occupants and
building services equipments are connected with BAS for remote control and
monitoring. No horizontal people mover is applied in the building since the site area
is only 4300m2. It is not economical to install a system in a small area and the system
will occupy more space inside the building. Some items cannot be assessed as the
building is still under construction.
Module 7 Safety and Structure Index
Since lift supervisory system comprise LCD CCTV monitor and intercom in each lift
car. Therefore, IBA scheme item 7.16 (Time to identify trapped passengers without a
mobile phone), building management can identify the trapped passenger very fast.
As the building is being construction stage, we assume that IBA scheme item 7.23
(Water leakage during raining seasons) and 7.24 (Cracks on finishes or spalling) are
not consist of this moment.
Under the IBA scheme item 7.20 (Essential electric power), it backed up by
emergency generator. For this building, the percentage of total essential electric power
inside a building is more than 20% of the whole power supply. The emergency
generator will provide power to emergency, FS system, lifts homing, Firemans lift
system, PA system and server computers, and security systems in emergency.
Meanwhile, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) will be provided for the computer

server rooms. It will provide the power to the sever in emergency.
Moreover, under the IBA scheme item 7.30 (Water cooling tower for non-residential
buildings), the rating of this element is to count and comment the water treatment and
sampling testing of legionella bacteria and total bacteria content. This element is also
linked to 8.37 and 10.31.
To be classified as good maintained water cooling tower, there shall be a regular and
periodic water treatment and sampling testing scheme to be implemented. In
addition, the self-monitoring cleaning system and 1 no. of chemical tanks is installed
so that the quality of chiller water circulates within cooling tower can be maintained.
We would comment that design is the strength and score high rating in the element.
Also, the proposed weighting of this element is opined to be reasonable since it is
contribute one of the critical factor in the hygienic issue and affect the Indoor Air
Quality (IAQ).
M8 Management Practice and Security Index
Under the IBA scheme item 8.19 (Number of unmonitored exits and entrances), the
rating of this element is to count the percentage of free exits and entrances under
monitoring no matter the points are monitored by CCTV, human keepers or locked. It
is opined that the exits and entrances are the connections between the building and the
outside world. Hence, the illegal intruders can easily get into and escape from the
building through unmonitored exits and entrances. As such, this kind of points shall
be eliminated as many as possible.
To get a high score in this element, all the entrances and exits shall be fulfill the

aforesaid criteria. In addition, the frequent patrol by the security guard also is the
strength and score high rating in the element. Also, the proposed weighting of this
element is opined to be reasonable since it is contribute one of the critical factors in
the security issue and prevent of crime.
Module 10 Health & Sanitation Index
Under the IBA scheme item 10.14 (Drainage bonus points), there are three criteria
fulfilled by the BU drainage design i.e.:
i.) Two-pipe system drainage design separating the WC discharge and all
others
For the hygiene reason, there is two pipe drainage system design (that means one soil
stack and one waste stack) adopted for BU. It can be reduce the distribution of virus
through the drainage pipework.
ii.) Proper access facilities from common areas for regular inspection and
maintenance of drainage pipes/fittings
Accordance with the PNAP 218, revised issued in February 2004, all pipe duct should
be located in public access area such that all the drainage pipe should be proper
accessed.
iii.) Durable pipe- Epoxy coated

8 Recommendations and Improvements
Module 2 Space Index
Location of school is far away from main public transport terminals. The routine
shuttle bus which is charge fee should be arranged to allocate the location (e.g. MTR
station and bus terminal) for busy time.
Module 3 Comfort Index
Review modification of in-sufficient lavatories facilities quantities are essential at 1/F
Male & Female Toilet and 2-10/F Male Toilet by E&M consultant.
Population fall during peak hour should be reviewed for consideration another
entrance assess to avoid the risk of overcrowding happened.
Recommendation of provide a entertainment facilities to students are essential for
benefit of studying environment.
Further performance review is recommended after buildings in operation which will
be provided a full picture and accurate result of IB assessment.
Module 4 Working Efficiency Index
The number of carpark area is too limited to satisfy the need of existing users and
visitors. In order to increase the efficiency of the building, the number of carpark
spaces must be raised to meet the standard/ requirements.
Public conference and meeting facilities is provided at building for highly
convenience for both student & lecturer.
Further performance review is recommended especially in high tech facilities after

building in operation which will be provided a full picture and accurate result of IB
assessment.
Module 7 The Safety and Structure Index
Due to the assessment building is under construction stage, the safety management
system, settlement monitoring plan, building risk management plan & security &
crowd control management plan are not available to take the assessment. However,
these are most important factors for the good management. The scale and scope of
these managements are recommended in the future. As the good risk management can
reduce the negative consequence occur..
Module 8 - The Management Practice and Security Index
Due to the assessment building is under construction stage, the potable water tanks
cleaning frequency, flushing water tanks cleaning frequency, potable & flushing water
- management practice & pest and mosquitoes control - management practice are not
available to take the assessment. Although the recent outbreaks of avian influenza in a
number of countries and areas, including Hong Kong. Therefore we recommended
frequency and regular cleaning to maintain tidiness and hygiene is very essential.
Module 9 - Cost Effectiveness
The cost effectiveness ratio calculated is derived from many uncertainty factors and
can be suitable for reference only. It is difficult to find and cannot be adopted for new
development. It is recommended to develop a coefficient that can simplify the
