Abstract


In this paper we describe the design of an educational smart building and the innovative technologies that were implemented. In January of 2011, Florida Atlantic University opened its new LEED Platinum-Certified “Engineering East” building.  The building was designed as both a model of how new technologies can drastically decrease the energy requirements of a large university building and for providing a “living laboratory” so that students and faculty may actually see how these systems work and interrelate. Engineering faculty was involved in providing inputs to the builder in creating state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.
