Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工學院工程管理專班 === 97 === 21st-century intelligent houses are architectural structures that incorporate technologies to meet information, internet, and human needs. Related automatic service systems are introduced into residences in order to attain the overall benefits of service functions. Future development should not involve integration for the sake of integration, but should take into account technology maturity and actual needs as the prerequisites for integration. This study uses literature review as a foundation to posit theoretical concepts for intelligent houses under existing architectural theory. We also examine the development of current intelligent houses, government policies, as well as the functions of various types of equipment available in the industry, and then incorporate the lifestyle needs of family members based on different life cycle perspectives. We participated in relevant intelligent house seminars sponsored by intelligent house alliances, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), and the Institute for Information Industry (III) to consult expert opinion; we also referred to expert opinions from the research results of Architectural and Building Research Institute (Ministry of the Interior, ABRI). We reached the following conclusions: 1. Architectural theories are the key foundation for constructing intelligent houses. 2. Buildings are the vector for intelligent houses and can provide the flexible space needed by function systems. 3. Mixed cabling systems are the nervous networks of intelligent houses and must possess the integrated capabilities of cables of different materials. 4. The space required by mixed cabling systems is of key importance. 5. Function systems are responsible for tasks such as the control, information integration, and determination of terminal equipment. Consequently, the communications protocols of the various function systems must be compatible. 6. Terminal equipment is responsible for executing the identification, scanning, and warnings for smart functions or for providing direct services functions. Consequently, different brands must have substitutable interfaces for universal use. 7. People are the controllers of intelligent houses and are responsible for constructing and protecting systems; they are the recipients of system benefits. 8. The equipment of smart houses must meet natural, energy-saving, safety, and comfort needs, and must have smart substitutable functions in accordance with human life cycles.
