Abstract
In recent years, intelligent building systems have become standard in residential buildings as well as commercial buildings. This chapter presents a novel system for controlling such buildings using natural user interfaces. Due to advanced logic, it is capable of identifying people occupying defined areas and recognizing their gestures. The system cooperates with a Domatiq System – Intelligent Building Management System, to provide an overall control of the building. This allows the user to control particular building components in a more natural way. Results shows that for the elderly or disabled people a more natural method of controlling some appliances is more convenient than, for example, by remote controllers. This system can also be used to control and monitor such people, giving them a sense of comfort and safety in their homes while respecting their privacy.

Web-Based Decision Support for Knowledge Sharing and Management in Intelligent Buildings Assessment
The Intelligent Building Institute of the United States defined an intelligent building as one that provides a productive and cost-effective environment through optimization of its four basic elements, including: (1) structures, (2) systems, (3) services and management, and (4) the interrelationships between them. The UK-based European Intelligent Building Group defines an intelligent building as one building that creates the environment that maximizes the effectiveness of its occupants, while at the same time enables the efficient management of resources with minimum life-time costs of hardware and facilities.
