work across various specification divisions and systems. It identifies who will
be responsible for furnishing the equipment, installing the equipment, cabling to
the equipment, providing power to the equipment and providing “rough-in”
to the equipment.
Figure 13.2 shows an example of specific section work, and a matrix of
which division will be responsible for furnishing, installing, rough-in, wiring
and supplying power.
It is this design and construction process that will shape the building tech-
nology systems and ultimately affect how the facility will be managed and
how users of the facility will work, live and communicate. Understanding the
process is important to designers and contractors of integrated systems if the
benefits of the systems are to be realized.
