1 INTRODUCTION
Most people these days are familiar with the term Integrated Home Systems (hereafter abbreviated to IHS).
However, when people begin to talk about IHS it quickly become apparent that nearly everyone interprets this
term differently. For one person it is a lighting control system, for another a sound distribution system, and for
yet another it is a system which ensures that older people are able to go on living independently at home for
longer. IHS is therefore a container term into which people put all manner of things, but no one now knows
quite what is in the container.
This design guide has two objectives. Firstly, the guide provides information on the possibilities of IHS by
describing specific features and techniques. In this way the owner or occupant is introduced to possibilities he
or she did not know existed. The second objective is to detect and realize the customers wishes. This is
necessary to ensure that the installation fully meets the customers requirements. This design guide enables
the customer to determine what features and techniques should or should not be present in the installation.

Im at home function
Your choice
Problem: When you walk in, you are in the dark and it is cold. You have to
walk round the house setting all the thermostats to comfort mode and
turning on the lights.
Solution: If you have regular hours away from home, we have the heating
turn itself up shortly before you come home. When you come home and
press the Im home button, the heating switches to comfort mode. If it is
dark, you get a light path to the kitchen or living room. Your home knows
you are there. There are several possible ways of starting this function: with
a button, a keyswitch, an alarm keypad, a motion detector, et cetera.

Getting up button
Your choice
Problem: When we get up in the morning, we are often not yet fully awake.
The kitchen light comes on at full brightness. This is far too much light for
our still sleepy eyes and can be an annoyance. The same can be said for
putting the coffee on and having to wait.
Solution: We install a getting up button next to the bed. Soft lighting in the
bedroom, on the landing, in the bathroom, on the stairs and in the kitchen.
By the time you reach the kitchen, the coffee is ready. You can enjoy your
cup immediately.

Odour-free toilet
Your choice
Problem: Unpleasant odours are sometimes left hanging in the air after the
toilet has been used. Not pleasant for anyone wanting to use the room after
you.
Solution: When you leave the toilet and turn off the light, a fan continues for
a few minutes to remove any remaining odours.

Landing lighting
Your choice
Problem: At present, the lighting on the landing is either off or fully on. At
certain times, however, we want something a little less intense. That is not
currently possible.
Solution: All the buttons that control the landing lighting switch this lighting
either off or fully on during the day. After all, cleaning on a cloudy or
overcast day requires a great deal of light. At night, the same buttons will
switch the landing lighting between off and soft (35%, for example). This
creates a calmer atmosphere during the night. You also save money on your
energy bill.

Fighting loneliness
Your choice
Problem: You live alone and are less mobile. The children and grandchildren
live far away and can only visit occasionally. The days are long and lonely.
Solution: You switch the TV on in the evening. You switch to the family
channel with the remote control. At the agreed time, your son or daughter
does the same at their home. You can see and hear one another via a
camera and a microphone. You can already hear the grandchildren calling
grandma or grandpa in the background. You can make arrangements for
next weeks shopping. If you want you can help the grandchildren with their
homework.

4.1 LIGHTING
Lighting is extremely important inside the home or residential unit. Adequate lighting is not only good for the
eyes while doing things (cooking, writing, et cetera), it also determines the mood and can boost the sense of
security.
Switching lights on/off
Your choice
This is the most common way of operating a lamp or lighting group. The Required
lamp or lighting group has just two positions: on or off. The lamp or Later
lighting group will switch from on to off each time the button is pressed.
Never
Variant
Your variant:
Dimming lights
Your choice
Apart from switching on and off, you can set the lamp to any dimmed
setting using one or more buttons (depending on the integrated system
chosen). One button generally suffices. Pressing the button briefly causes
the lamp to switch between off and the last dimmed setting. Holding the
same button down for a few moments lets you change the dimmed setting
of the lamp.

At night, orientation lighting can increase the occupants safety. It can be Required
fitted in corridors, halls, and stairs. In care rooms, care flats, and service Later
flats, orientation lighting can be installed in the bedroom to boost the sense

of security. Some people do not like a completely dark room.

Emergency lighting
Your choice
In buildings with multiple residential units it is obviously advisable to install
emergency lighting in the communal corridors and stairwells. In residential
units, apartments, or single-family houses, emergency lighting can be
provided in corridors, on stairs, in the bathroom, and the kitchen to increase
safety. It is precisely these places where something can go seriously wrong if
the power fails when it is dark. Emergency lighting is also recommended
near the electric fuse box.
Your variant:
Required

Never
Variant
Outside lighting
Your choice
An outside light is generally fitted near the front door, the back door, or the
patio door. If the house or residential unit also has a garden, this is normally
not sufficient. In that case, lay the necessary cables or pipes at the outset, to
facilitate the installation of garden lighting at a later date. Many people later
come to regret not having done this.

4.2 SOCKETS
Everyone occasionally has one power socket too few. This element therefore merits the necessary attention in
the design stage. Where do we put sockets, how many are required, and at what height?
Sufficient sockets
Your choice
If we fit only a minimum number of sockets, we very soon encounter
problems. We end up juggling loose socket blocks, but these present an
aesthetic and ergonomic problem. The cable can increase the risk of
tripping. We are therefore better off fitting sufficient sockets at the outset,
depending on the room and the furniture (bed, desk, kitchen, TV corner, et
cetera). If there are several possible positions for a bed in a bedroom,
sufficient sockets next to the bed are required for each option, so that the
occupant can choose where to put the bed.

Intercom
Your choice
With an intercom system, one or more outside units and one or more inside
units are installed. If someone rings, you can hear who it is and unlock the
door if you so wish. In apartments, as well as the main unit at the front door
a floor unit at the door of each apartment is also possible. This floor unit can
be a bell system or an intercom system. Most intercom systems can be
integrated into a homes telephone system. This allows each phone (wired
or wireless) to act as an inside unit.

Videophone
Your choice
With a videophone system, one or more outside units and one or more
inside units are installed. If someone rings, his or her image appears on the
inside units and possibly even on the TV. The occupant can take the call and
unlock the door if desired. A floor unit at the door of each apartment is also
possible in apartments as well. [In apartment blocks it is possible to install a
floor unit at the door of each apartment, next to the main unit at the front
door.] This floor unit can be a bell system, an intercom or a videophone
system. Systems with hands-free inside units are appearing on the market.
Multiple cameras can be connected to the system.

Electric locks
Your choice
Electric locks can be operated remotely. They are normally combined with
an intercom or videophone system. The occupant then knows in advance to
whom he or she is granting access to the building. Traditional electric locks
are not especially burglar-proof since most do not have a double lock.
However, burglar-proof models are also available.
Your variant:
Required
Later
Never
Variant
Electronic locks
Your choice
Electronic locks replace traditional locks with keys and the traditional
standard electric locks. The lock becomes operable if a card or tag (a sort of
key fob) is held in front of the lock. If the card is lost or stolen, the right of
access for this card can be withdrawn from the system. On the other hand,
extra cards can be produced to allow family, carers, and helpers access to
the home or residential unit. With certain variants for large projects, access
control is centralized and it is possible to record who unlocked a door and at
what time.

Proximity reader
Your choice
A proximity reader is fitted next to the entrance door, in or on the wall. If
someone holds a card or tag with access rights in the vicinity of the reader,
the door is unlocked. Here too, extra cards and tags can be produced and
cards and tags can be removed from the system. Other functions can be
activated when combined with an integrated system, depending upon the
card, the day, and time of day.

Keypad
Your choice
A keypad is placed outside the zone or room to be protected. To gain access,
the correct combination must be entered. The user therefore has to
remember a code, which not everyone finds easy (e.g. the elderly). If used
frequently, the code numbers may become apparent on the keypad. Dust
and dirt accumulate on the less used numbers (from rainwater, for example)
because these keys are rarely if ever pressed.

Fingerprint readers
Your choice
A fingerprint reader is placed at the point of access. Anyone wanting to gain
access has to have one or more fingers scanned. If the fingerprint pattern
matches that stored in the database, access is granted. This method of
access control offers a high degree of security. The system can also be used
inside a building, for example to grant only authorized personnel access to
certain areas (nurses post, office, et cetera).

Iris scanner
Your choice
An iris scanner is placed at the point of access. The device reads the iris (the
coloured part of the eye) of the person requesting access. This information is
compared with the data stored in a database. If a good match is found,
access is granted. This method of access control offers a high degree of
security. The system could also be used inside a building, for example to
grant only authorized personnel access to certain areas (nurses post, office,
et cetera). This system is rarely if ever used in residential properties.

Computer network
Your choice
We will probably want to make use of an Internet connection, a network
disk, a network printer, et cetera at various points in the home. This is
because more and more devices such as TV set-top boxes, Internet radios,
MP3 players, et cetera are using the computer network. While a wireless
network is possible, a wired network is safer and much faster. Make sure,
therefore, that you provide sufficient connection points.
Connections to computer networks are now commonplace in service flats
for the elderly or even in care rooms within rest and care homes. Ever more
elderly people are using the Internet and social media. The Internet provides
a window onto the world, and social networking sites offer the elderly a
chance to keep in touch relatively easily with friends and family. An Internet
connection is also essential if the occupant needs to use e-health services.

Telephone network
Your choice
Allow for multiple connections for telephone and fax. The importance of
fixed landline connections is on the wane now that much of the population
use mobile phones. Nevertheless, a small telephone exchange has many
advantages. Calls can be forwarded if you are not at home, certain
telephones can be blocked for outgoing calls, door calls can be answered
(integration with intercom or videophone), internal communication is
possible, et cetera. Apart from the normal telephone and fax, the telephone
is also used, for example, by the PAS (Personal Alarm System) devices with
which older, independent people can make an emergency call in case of
accident or illness. See also multimedia network.

We need several connections in the home; for the computer, the TV, the
radio, the phone, the Internet, et cetera. We can provide universal
connections in various places by means of a multimedia network. We can
use these for TV, radio, computer, or telephone. This technique increases
flexibility, since we are not tied to one place when, for example, positioning
a TV or telephone. Wherever there is a connection, we can connect one or
more devices to the appropriate network.

We use all manner of wireless devices that require a charger in an ordinary
power socket. Following a European decision, every wireless device will
shortly have to be fitted with a USB connection for charging purposes. You
will therefore be able to charge your wireless device with cable connected to
for example the computer. A cable with a USB socket can also replace
traditional chargers. That will put an end to the jumble of connections and
chargers for all the different devices. With USB sockets, every module will fit
a standard in-wall mounting box. They have two USB ports. A 230 V supply is
sufficient.

CO detectors
Your choice
A considerable number of Europeans die every year from CO poisoning. CO
detectors can be installed to prevent this. Preferably they should be fitted in
rooms where naked flames are used (gas kitchen stove, open-combustion
gas boiler, open hearth, gas or fuel oil heater). A connection with the
integrated system is important so that it can react appropriately (for
example, the ventilation can be turned up).

Presence detectors are well established in offices, schools, and the like, but
are not normally found in houses or residential units. In certain cases,
however, they are used in these locations out of safety considerations. For
example, they are commonly found in the kitchens and bathrooms of service
flats. In conjunction with the integrated system, these detectors can switch
off certain appliances or sound an alarm.

Lightning protection
Your choice
Protection against direct lightning strikes is not very common on houses in
Belgium. It all depends on the situation. Take into account the height of the
building, the location (on a hill or mountain), the proximity or lack of other
buildings, et cetera. External lightning protection with conductors must
always be supplemented by internal protection against direct lightning
strikes and by overvoltage protection (see next block).
Your variant:
Required
Later
Never
Variant
Overvoltage protection
Your choice
Because we are increasingly using sensitive electronic appliances (flatscreen
TV, integrated system, telephone exchange, computers, et cetera),
overvoltage protection is recommended. As well as the 230 V wires, this
must also be affixed to all other cables entering the house (telephony, coax).
Without overvoltage protection, an indirect lightning strike (within a radius
of 2 km from the house) can cause faults in appliances in the house or
significantly reduce the life of these appliances.

Electric heating
Your choice
Electric heating may become much more important in years to come. Lowenergy and passive houses, because of their extreme insulation, require only
a small amount of energy to compensate for heat losses. Electric heating
then becomes a viable option. Installation costs are minimal compared with
other heating systems. Depending on the room, electric heating is possible
with under-floor heating, dynamic storage heaters, static storage heaters,
electric heating via the ventilation system, and direct electric heating.
Electric heating can also be precisely controlled by an integrated system.
This system can also switch off the heating system in a particular room if the
windows are opened or it is not needed.

the location must be suitable, and town planning and/or environmental
regulations taken into account. There are experimental systems on the
market that are incorporated into the building. They involve a sort of vertical
cylinder that is rotated by rising heat. The efficiency of this type is on the

4.11 TELEMETRY
The proportion of older people in our society will continue to increase significantly in the coming years. At the
same time, the number of practitioners in the care sector is on the decline. Smart techniques such as
telemetry can be used to avoid overloading this last group. Chronic patients in particular can send all sorts of
health-related information such as blood pressure, weight, heart rate, or blood sugar level to a nurses post,
hospital, or doctor via the Internet. This saves costly consultation time, hospital admissions, and a whole series
of journeys which in some cases are impossible or at the very least difficult for the patient in question. If a
measured value lies outside the expected limits, the doctor can intervene and propose a consultation. Below
are several examples of telemetry. The following list can be expanded according to the needs of the homebased patient.
