Effective integration of
electrical systems for
the connected home
The Code of Practice for Connected Systems Integration
in Buildings sets out to promote good practice in the
specification, design and integration of connected systems in
buildings, as well as providing a reference to practitioners on
design, integration practice and technological considerations
working to meet key functionality and customer
requirements.
The ongoing development of wired and wireless
communications and control technologies is facilitating
connectivity and systems integration within buildings.
However, communications within the buildings are often
impacted by location, building fabric and power constraints,
while systems compatibility and configuration issues can also
present challenges to successful integration and operation. This Code of Practice is not only a key document for
installers to guide them through the different technologies
and their integration, but crucially it is also concerned with
planning the current and potential future requirements of an
integrated system.
Save time and effort by learning how to recognise issues before
they become problems

The Code of Practice will help you to:
Within the last fifty years, services in the home have evolved
significantly from basic plumbing, electrical installations and
telephone connections, to those found in the much more
connected 21st century home. Modern features include high-
speed data requirements in many rooms, interconnected
heating, lighting and blinds, multi-room audio and video,
and high-bandwidth networking and security systems.
Integration of electrical systems in buildings is
becoming a bigger priority as technology advances.
Installing and working with these systems
offers new

Recognise common myths and understand the realities behind them
when working with connected systems
Different devices communicate in different languages. With multiple
wired and wireless systems co-existing within the same building, it’s
important to understand how they communicate in order to get the best
out of them once installed.
This Code of Practice gives you all the information you need
to maximise efficiency from the systems you install.
