Building Informatics: Exploratory Approach to Post Occupancy Narratives of Automotive Intelligent and Non Intelligent Building Components

Intelligent building component application is gradually gaining grounds in developing countries.. The study therefore aim at carrying out an exploratory approach to post occupancy narratives of intelligent and non-intelligent building components of commercial office building using Lagos state Nigeria as case study with a view to enhancing components and accessory function performance. A sample size of 80 was adopted for the study, with respondents that made up of intelligent system building users, while relevant hypothesis were tested to trend validation. The study presented factors that influences integration of automated accessory in building and their performance, effectiveness of security system and access control, conventional automation application in building products among others. The study recommend innovation management, strategic operation management,, management of internal and external accessory environment, and stake holder management, as panacea to an effective automation integration of accessory components of intelligent and no intelligent building.
