Not only energy efficiency but also predictive maintenance, comfort and health.
One of the first requirements relating to smart building is represented by the optimal management of energy and the possibility of offering the best possible comfort to those who live there. The birth and development of the smart building stems precisely from the need to make the various energy consumption more efficient. Priority is given to energy management, certainly starting from the reduction of consumption where buildings account for around 40% of consumption.
The intelligent use of energy is certainly the first starting point on which the concept of smart building is concerted so that energy efficiency can be managed in a controlled, predictive and autonomous way thanks to the digitization of buildings.
This is where the world of the IoT comes into play through sensors and devices connected to a single network capable of controlling and monitoring data on the one hand and on the other taking actions necessary to reduce consumption as previously mentioned.
The resulting advantages are certainly a reduction in costs in terms of use of the raw material: energy! But that’s not all: it increases the livability comfort of buildings by reducing health problems thanks to the remarkable list of sensors currently available on the market, which is constantly expanding and evolving.
Constant monitoring of the devices connected to the electricity grid also means detecting any anomalies and/or faults which translate first of all into savings and subsequently to the resolution of problems deriving from their malfunction.
