Smart buildings are sometimes referred to as ‘automated buildings‘, ‘intelligent buildings‘ or buildings that incorporate smart technology. A smart building is any structure that uses automated processes to automatically control the building’s operations including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, vertical transportation and other systems. These buildings typically use sensors, actuators and microprocessors, to collect and manage data according to a business’ functions and services.
The infrastructure in a smart building allows building owners, operators and facility managers to improve asset reliability and performance. Goals include reducing energy consumption, optimisation of space and minimising the environmental impact of buildings. Fundamentally, smart buildings help make occupants more productive and buildings more cost-effective when compared to a building that is not connected.
