‘Smartbuilding’ are buildings with a technological infrastructure responsible for automating various processes, such as lighting, air conditioning or security.
Users can control their systems with controllers, an app or voice commands.
Technology is an excellent solution to optimize a building’s resources, improve security or control energy consumption. If we incorporate the latest technological innovations in construction, the result is the famous smartbuilding, that is, intelligent buildings equipped with facilities and systems that allow automated management to increase energy efficiency, availability and accessibility.
This concept applies to all types of buildings, both for renovation and new construction. All of them can be converted into smart buildings, however, they must meet the following characteristics:
- It is advisable to have energy and water saving systems to control the supply.
- The control system must be fully integrated into the building and must be part of it, thus optimizing its operation and administration electronically.
- It is recommended to be flexible to implement continuous technological changes.
- And they must be comfortable for their inhabitants, because one of their goals is to make life easier for the members of the family unit.
- Enviroscale’s intelligent software will make it possible to predict the sustainability of new energy production systems.
What is remote solar self-consumption and how can it help you save?; How can consumption be reduced with ‘smartbuilding’?
Creating a smart building is very easy if you know what technologies need to be implemented to achieve it. In addition, these innovations are included in the ‘smart building system’ and through the following devices to reduce consumption:
- Smart lighting systems: energy savings from digitization can range from 2% to 93%.
- Smart plugs: one of the factors that make our bills rise is the so-called “phantom consumption”. In fact, this ‘stand-by’ consumption can reach five euros per month, however, smart plugs make it possible to remove this expense automatically.
- Smart air conditioning: Remotely and through a smart thermostat, users can ensure that the temperature in the house does not exceed 21 degrees, considering that each higher degree can increase our bill.
- Intelligent control of DHW and water flow: Hot water can account for 26% of the home’s energy consumption. Therefore, digitization allows farm managers to monitor these systems remotely, as well as intelligently monitor and control water consumption in real time via mobile phones.
In ten or twenty years all homes will be smart.
How does a smartbuilding work?
A smart building works through building automation and home automation. Specifically, real estate automation is understood as the ability to fully automate non-residential buildings, while home automation refers to technologies applied to the control of a home.
Likewise, the control network is integrated into the electrical network and is coordinated with the rest of the network to which it is related.
