Smart building

 What is a smart building?

A smart building is one that uses technology to enable efficient and economical use of resources, while creating a safe and comfortable environment for occupants. Smart buildings may use a wide range of existing technologies and are designed or retrofitted in a way that allows for the integration of future technological developments. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, building management systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality are amongst some of the mechanisms and robotics that may be used in a smart building to control and optimize its performance.

 

Ways of utilizing smart building technology

  • For automation
  • To integrate with different building systems
  • For space optimization
  • For preventative maintenance

The benefits of smart building analytics

  • Increased productivity
  • Reduce energy consumption
  • Reduce operating costs

Smart building examples

To show how smart building features can be utilized in the real world, the National Grid demonstrates how people counting sensors were used to provide reports on occupancy levels. This allowed for usage and capacity measurements throughout the building and helped support a smarter workspace strategy.

The University of Technology, Sydney, utilized automated smart building technology within the education sector to synchronise control of the air-conditioning with a room booking platform. This helped to save significant business costs as the air con only had to be activated when the room was in use.
