Abstract
Most of the electrical wirings for the living space are used for lighting and power socket. These two types of wiring have the traditional standard approaches. On constructing a new intelligent building or renewing a traditional building to intelligent one, the wiring approach is different from the traditional one. Several concepts for wiring about this issue are proposed and demonstrated in this chapter. First concept introduces a lighting switch called the bypass, used upon malfunction of the intelligent system to guarantee the availability of the lighting. Second concept discusses the type and installation of the lighting switch, so that it can coexist with the traditional switch and would not cause an ambiguity to the inhabitants. The experience learnt from the pilot test, which was conducted at an actual intelligent building, has been discussed.
