To achieve such automation, sensors, actuators and microchips are used. They help to integrate lighting, energy meters, water meters, pumps, heating, fire alarms, chiller plants and other infrastructures within the building.

All over the world smart building technology has been proven beneficial. The technology has been successfully applied in a great variety of facilities including: hotels, hospitals, schools, stadiums and many other commercial construction designs.

BENEFITS OF SMART BUILDINGS

At its heart, smart building technology is data management for to improve reliability and performance. Smart building tech helps architects to design the optimal utilization of building space and materials to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

  • Better Comfort at a Lower Cost: In commercial buildings, the focus is to align data collection and management. That would include the day to day activities and services of the business. Therefore, investing in smart buildings enhances productivity. With these systems in place, the lighting, temperature, air quality, security and sanitation of the building are controlled automatically.
