Types of Standards

Products (dimensions, materials, construction, durability, color)

Materials (chemical, physical, metallurgical) Process (procedures where specific processes are

fundamental to manufacture) Interoperability (connectors, signals, interfaces)

6

Interoperability (connectors, signals, interfaces) Testing (methods to assess properties, materials) Services, Guides (requirements to be met when

performing) Management (process for organizations, ISO 9000 QMS,

ISO 14000 environmental management system) Design (materials, dimensions, methods of construction) Performance (describe the function of a product without

stating how that is to be achieved)

Audiovisual Performance Standards

Until now, audiovisual performance standards have not been available; audiovisual companies or their clients have created their own standard guidelines.

7

InfoComm International is changing that!

Standard Guide for Audiovisual Systems Design and Coordination Processes

A successful professional audiovisual system installation depends on the clear definition and

8

the clear definition and coordination of processes, resources, and responsibilities of the design and installation project teams.

Standard Guide for Audiovisual Systems Design and Coordination Processes, cont.

This standard outlines a consistent set of the standard tasks, responsibilities, and

9

the standard tasks, responsibilities, and deliverables required for professional audiovisual systems design and construction.

Good Time to Create this Standard!

Rapid proliferation of audiovisual technology in architecture

High recognition of audiovisual issues: audio to digital television transition, HOW projects, Education projects, etc.

Heightened awareness of commissioning

10

Heightened awareness of commissioning particularly with regard to LEED projects

Need to distinguish audiovisual profession from IT, Physical Security, Electrical

Maturing audiovisual industry implementing other standards; professional certifications

Fast-paced project development timelines require more accurate communications

Benefits

Architects, engineers, facilities managers, owners, and technology managers will benefit from a set of guidelines that ensure that all aspects of audiovisual projects have

13

that all aspects of audiovisual projects have been considered, and that appropriate professionals have been tasked with their implementation if they are required for the project.

together in order to: Reduce Energy Consumption

Lower Life-Cycle Costs Reduce Environmental Impact

Improve the User Experience . . . But there is more to it

Humanizing the Building

Integrated Building Technology?

IBT a process of conceiving, designing, constructing, designing, constructing, commissioning, and operating buildings, which leverages technology to optimize the goals and objectives of the built environment

perspective on a solution Technical Architect, Project Management

Architect, Leading Design Architect PE, ME Efficiency Consultant Owners Rep and a GC

Humanizing the Building

InfoComm IBT TF Scope of Work Understand how the InfoComm industry

can currently contribute to an IBT building Understand how the scope and role of

the Infocomm industry may evolve to take the Infocomm industry may evolve to take a leadership role in IBT
