Cummings intro post



My name is Bryan Cummings, a fourth year BS/MS student in architectural engineering, with an undergraduate concentration in HVAC and a graduate concentration in indoor air quality.  From this course, I hope to learn how various building systems can be connected and optimized to improve performance—especially from the perspective of energy use.  My novice definition of an intelligent building would be one that uses such systems as computers and sensors, and perhaps others, which communicate with each other and autonomously change the building’s conditions to optimize performance, be it lighting, user comfort, energy use, etc.
