Smart buildings are the answer to the challenges of today and tomorrow This results in more energy efficient and cost-optimized consumption while maintaining the occupants‘ comfort, for example with motion detectors that turn off the lights when a room is not occupied. Smart buildings are not only energy consumers but also energy producers (prosumers), employing on-site energy generation systems such as photovoltaic, wind power, and combined heat and power units (CHP), to mention a few.
Smart buildings provide applications to address challenges. Smart buildings are about data, people, and processes Smart buildings improve the productivity of people and processes by leveraging technology and actionable information to help you and your building make better decisions and become smart, efficient and sustainable. One way to lower overall energy costs is to simply source less energy from the external power supply.
Smart grids need smart buildings to counterbalance the complex interplay between power generation and energy demand. ing’s supply and demand over certain time periods. This type of energy management system enhances energy efficiency, optimizes energy procurement, and manages on-site energy consumption, storage and generation. It also limits peak demand and optimizes self-consumption.
