March - 2020CONSTRUCTIONTECHREVIEW.COM6Intelligent buildings are the future of construction industry. However, majority of public and residential buildings planned today are focusing on a single objective—to decrease expenses by reducing energy consumption. Intelligent buildings provide a productive and cost-effective environment by optimizing their structures, systems, services, and management, along with the interrelationships between them. A seamless interlinking between factors such as energy and environment, space flexibility, cost-effectiveness, client comfort, working efficiency, safety, culture, and technology is the ideal formula for the success of an intelligent building. With smart and automatic lighting, air-conditioning, thermal, and motion sensing, the building infrastructure can be induced with enhanced energy preservation strategy and sustainability. Integrating digital solutions helps establish control over every aspect of the rooms, with a single remote from anywhere at any time. Being able to control the vitals of the building automatically not only adds flexibility to building management but also has a positive effect on efficiency, security, and productivity as well. With automation technologies installed in the building, newer possibilities are identified for an enhanced IoT connectivity. New proven concepts such as roof-top renewable energy generation backed up by Battery Energy Storage Solutions, along with improved IoT connectivity, increase the resilience of the building. This setup simultaneously charges EV, driving the demand for energy up and enabling the availability of energy all the time. In the past, switches, control panels, and sensors were considered as purely functional elements, since technology became the IT factor, the aesthetics of these elements have also transcended. Electrical solutions improve the convenience, security, and efficiency of the buildings but also add a touch of personalization with wide-ranging options in quality, style, and cost. The intelligent building solutions providers featured in this edition of Construction Tech Review, are laying the foundations for a future that promises all of us, smarter, reliable, and efficient buildings. The expertise and know-how of building automation of these industry experts are translated into articles to take full advantage.Let us know your thoughts.Michael Rosario Managing Editorconstructiontechreview.comBuilding Blocks of a Sustainable FutureCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc.
