What is a smart building?
Audio Visual technology is now utilised as a major part of the integrated smart building experience, from audio announcements to touch panels, digital screens, and integrated information delivery.
More and more sensors and more and more integration in the modern smart building / smart office is a lot more commonplace.
More IT systems now integrate with AV and security systems. Digital displays around the building can display different information to different groups of people.
Information Integration
Digital signage can be used for a lot more than just simple branded information display. It can show live data from smart thermostats, air quality sensors etc or attendance information from an access control system in the form of a pegboard, live TV from an IPTV system or even from smart temperature reading cameras.
Different content can be triggered from different user experiences or actions, such as emergency information from a fire alarm trigger, or different content triggered depending on who swipes an access control reader.
Even cleaning cycles can be booked based on information received from occupancy sensors. You can even use a touchscreen wayfinder to help yourself located your way around a building, or use a touch panel to book a meeting.
Smart building AV design from the start of your project
Smart building AV design works best when AV is planned alongside the building services rather than added at the end. We work with architects, M&E consultants and fit-out contractors to plan containment, power, data and structural support for displays, video walls, room booking panels and control systems, so everything is in the right place before ceilings and walls close up.
Our smart building AV design covers meeting rooms, receptions, signage, room booking and integration with lighting, blinds and building management systems. Our designers are AVIXA CTS-certified. See also AV system design, room control and room booking.

FAQs
Smart building AV design FAQs
Common questions we are asked. Need something else? Get in touch.
What is smart building AV design?
It is the planning of audio visual systems so they work with the wider building: the network, room booking, lighting, blinds, heating and access control, giving a consistent and easy-to-use experience across every space.
When should AV be considered in a smart building project?
As early as possible. Planning AV alongside network, power and containment during design avoids costly changes later and makes integration with other building systems much simpler.
Can AV systems integrate with building management systems?
Yes. Control platforms can link room AV with lighting, blinds, HVAC and room booking so a room can be set up automatically when a meeting starts.
Do you work with architects and M&E consultants?
Yes. We coordinate with design teams and contractors so AV requirements are captured in drawings and specifications.
