Smart buildings are buildings in which the facilities are managed in an intelligent and automated way. And today they represent the most widespread solution for the energy efficiency of buildings.
What are the Advantages of smart buildings/smart facilities?
Some of the major advantages are:
Environmental benefit and cost savings. Smart buildings reduce energy costs by adjusting heating, cooling, lighting and other systems using real time based on changes in weather and building occupancy. Since they can be remotely monitored and adjusted, smart spaces reduce your carbon footprint while saving money in the process.
Risk mitigation. Remote monitoring and controlling performance of smart building systems allows supervisors to detect problems earlier and often helps them avoid them. By anticipating or discovering early warnings of problems in heating, plumbing and other infrastructure, smart installations reduce the risk and inconvenience caused to users.
A safer occupancy experience. Smart buildings employing surveillance and security systems enhance the experience of their occupants by offering a safer and better protected place to work and live. They also generate timely alerts that inform about the availability of certain services, such as training equipment for the convenience of users.
