Buildings have evolved over the years, becoming more complex and incorporating aspects of ‘intelligence’. Intelligent buildings provide comfortable, occupant responsive environments. The rapid technological developments that affect our telephones and cars, have not left our buildings behind. This research defines and explains the concept of intelligent buildings, and measure the level of awareness of these concepts amongst Nigerian architects. A questionnaire survey was carried out to evaluate the degree to which Nigerian architects are acquainted with intelligent buildings. The findings reveal the degree to which Nigerian architects know about intelligent building systems, and their views on the possibility of adopting such systems in Nigeria.
