CEDIA joins forces with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) to present the Code of Practice for Connected System Integration in Buildings-- a report detailing the latest building system standards.

IET ConnectivityAlso known as "IET Standards TC4.1 Connected Systems Integration" or "IET PSSI001P," the report promotes good practice in the specification, design and integration of connected systems in buildings. It outlines the importance of a robust planning process, and explores how to improve connectivity, communications networking and connected system integration for user access in residential and commercial buildings.

Also included are recommendations for necessities such as the layout of cable routes, equipment space and ventilation, alongside network bandwidth and power distribution considerations.

"This is one of the most significant and credible published documents for our industry to date,” CEDIA claims. “As connected systems in buildings continue to evolve, they are becoming highly complex and interconnected. In addition, system compatibility and configuration issues can present challenges to successful integration and operation. This document has been published to help all stakeholders in the construction industry appreciate best practice to overcome built environment, integration and technical installation issues, ensuring the best end user experiences.”

The full document is available for purchase now at the IET website, with a discounts applicable for both IET and CEDIA members.
