This paper presents the conceptual design of a fa?e casebase for teaching and learning intelligent building (IB) related programmes. The proposed fa?e casebase aims to support current e-learning tools to effectively and efficiently train both on-campus and distance students at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. The conceptual design is conducted based on a standard building classification. A general format of fa?e cases is designed to regulate case collection and reuse. The research described in this paper initially covers undetermined issues such as case-based teaching and learning in relevant programmes. The proof of concept deployment of the casebase can then be fully evaluated for extension and deployment throughout institutions to support all on-campus and distance students not only in IB related programmes but also in other programmes where case method can be adopted.
