“…As a consequence, the term "energy management system" (EMS) appeared, which highlights automation functionality related to power-saving operation, like optimum start and stop control. 2 Further, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems for buildings, referred to as central control and monitoring systems (CCMS), were introduced. They extended the operator's reach from having to handle each piece of equipment locally over a whole building or complex, allowing the detection of abnormal conditions without being on-site.…”

“…For example, demand control of lighting systems can significantly contribute to energy saving. Recognizing the head start of the BA systems of the HVAC domain with regard to control and presentation, they provided the natural base for the successive integration of other systems (sometimes then termed "integrated BMS" (IBMS) [2]). …”

“…In 1998, Kroner suggested that smartness was evaluated based on some criteria: building which is equipped with electronics to provide a convenient place for the inhabitants [3]. Arkin and Paciuk modified the above definition as smartness doesn't mean to be content with only specific technology in order to improve some functional systems (as lighting or air conditioning) but it addresses whole systems integration [4].…”

In this article we consider the ideologies that affect modern human life and smart architecture contribution used as tools to enable those ideologies. It is considered that the technological impact on human life is undeniable but, as well as making use of the technology environment, consideration is really required. Therefore, this study explores the role of smart structures and materials to create new buildings with sustainable architecture.First, such terms as green architecture and sustainable architecture are identified. Then, using smart technology in buildings and what it would be like, are defined. Various smartness used in the buildings, their outcomes, performances and roles are evaluated. Smart buildings' role in sustainable architecture is explained.

“…The proposed procedure identifies the intelligence level of intelligent buildings. Arkin and Paciuk [15] developed a measure called the "Magnitude of Systems' Integration" Index (MSIR) to determine the level of systems' integration of intelligent buildings. Yang and Peng [16] employed the MSIR model for IB alternative assessment.…”

Original scientific paper In the recent years, organizations and researchers have been focused on the intelligent building assessment in building design and construction. The performance of intelligent buildings (IBs) is measured based on the IB related characteristics and actual circumstances. This paper utilizes the fuzzy set theory, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and data envelopment analysis (DEA), and offers an integrated fuzzy AHP-fuzzy DEA (FAHP-FDEA) method for intelligent building assessment. The fuzzy set theory is used to model the imprecise and vague data of the evaluation criteria. Since, the evaluation criteria have different importance in the evaluation process; FAHP is employed to determine the weight of criteria. Then, the weight of criteria is incorporated to a FDEA model to measure the intelligent buildings' performance. The pure fuzzy AHP method can only compare a very limited number of decision alternatives, while the proposed FAHP-FDEA can rank a huge number of alternatives. A case study taken from the literature is considered to show applicability and effectiveness of the proposed FAHP-FDEA model. The results affirmed that the proposed method provides the consistent results with the existing methods in the literature. In addition, the proposed method enables decision makers to determine the results under different aspiration levels. Keywords: decision making; FAHP, FDEA; fuzzy set theory; intelligent building assessment Integrirana metoda fuzzy analitičkog hijerarhijskog postupka i fuzzy analize podataka grupe (FAHP-FDEA) u ocjenjivanju inteligentne zgradeIzvorni znanstveni članak Zadnjih su godina u projektiranju i izgradnji građevina organizacije i istraživači usredotočeni na ocjenu inteligentne zgrade. Performanse inteligentnih zgrada (IB) mjere se na temelju karakteristika koje se odnose na IB i stvarnih okolnosti. U ovom se radu koristi teorija fuzzy niza, analitički hijerarhijski postupak (AHP) i analiza podataka grupe (data envelopment analysis -DEA), i nudi integrirana fuzzy AHP-fuzzy DEA (FAHP-FDEA) metoda za ocjenu inteligentne zgrade. Primjenjuje se teorija fuzzy niza za modeliranje nepreciznih i neodređenih podataka ocjenjivačkih kriterija. Budući da su oni od različite važnosti u postupku ocjenjivanja, za određivanje težine kriterija primjenjuje se FAHP. Tada se težina kriterija uključuje u FDEA model kako bi se dobila ocjena performanse inteligentne zgrade. Čistom fuzzy AHP metodom moguće je usporediti samo vrlo ograničen broj alternativa za donošenje odluke dok se predloženom FAHP-FDEA metodom može rangirati ogroman broj alternativa. Razmotrena je analiza slučaja uzetog iz literature da bi se pokazala primjenjivost i učinkovitost predloženog modela FAHP-FDEA. Rezultati su potvrdili da se predloženom metodom dobivaju rezultati u skladu s postojećim metodama u literaturi. Uz to, predloženom se metodom omogućuje da donosioci odluke rezultate donesu u skladu s težnjama.
