“It is not enough to presume that the information from
‘smart metering’ will encourage people to reduce their
energy consumption any more than a car
speedometer will reduce speeding”

12. Smart Interface
“If user controls are ambiguous in intent, poorly
labelled, or fail to show whether anything has changed
when they are operated, then the systems that lie
behind them are unlikely to operate effectively or
efficiently”

17. Smart or Complex
“Building Automation Technology often fails to deliver
its full potential because those specifying the system
have limited understanding of how it will be operated.
This problem is compounded by a lack of training of
building Operations and Maintenance teams on the
operation of the Building Services Engineering
systems and the Building Automation Technology that
is intended to control and monitor them.”

“The myth of intelligence is that it is ‘fit and forget’: buy
it, and the electronics will do the rest.
The actuality is that it is very much ‘fit and manage’.
Complex engineering and control systems tend to
work best in an environment in which the occupier can
resource a high level of facilities and engineering
management.
Problems start to occur where sophisticated
technology is applied in a management-poor
environment”

29. Smart Delivery
“The best design can only come from a thorough
understanding of operation
“With validation included in the procurement contract,
the designer, installer and manufacturer are intimately
involved with operation during the first 12 months or
more of occupation. Involvement in validation enables
the supply side to learn from rich and immediate
feedback on the how the specified design and
products perform in operation.”
