provide the inhabitants with sophisticated monitoring and control over the building's functions. For example a smart home may control lighting, temperature, multimedia, security, window and door operations, as well as many other functions. (smarthomeenergy.co.uk)
with a variety of technological tools that automate and enhance living. The different tools vary among smart houses depending on the residents' needs and preferences.(ehow.com)
in every room that use voice recognition to act on commands from the residents, including such tasks as: adjusting the thermostat from any location playing music on an all-house entertainment system; or providing sound and video from a baby monitor on any screen
more efficient and also usually to conserve energy Smart homes often use motion sensors and webcams to greet residents when they return home, to turn lights off and on, to increase security or to provide entertainment The energy management technology may also raise and lower window shades and can determine the best times of day to run appliances such as dishwashers and clothes dryers for maximum energy savings

around placing different devices throughout the house/office and enabling these devices to communicate with one another and to your smartphone via the Hub The Hub can be plugged directly into an Internet router and supports ZigBee, Z-Wave as well as IP-accessible devices Devices can then be monitored and controlled using SmartThings native mobile apps The Hub may push or text notifications based on the status of the sensors – such as whether a person or pet has arrived or left your home , whether doors or windows are open or closed, whether lights and locks are on or unlocked , or whether valuable items have moved or been tampered with
will be pervasive and embedded in virtually all household devices. Many analysts believe that the smart home of the future is likely to contain 15 to 30 connected devices and sensors, all linked via a home area network and connected to service providers' back-end systems and the Internet. Connected devices will range from ordinary household appliances through to solar panels and electric vehicle charging infrastructure that both consume and generate electricity.
bringing together the different parts of the smart home puzzle. Without mobile networks' extended coverage, smart home services will only be available in limited locations and will miss the mass-market opportunity. The mobile handset is emerging as a key interface and consumers' constant companion for remote monitoring and control of smart home services.
from the provision of network access and connectivity for core services within each of the four key verticals (utilities, mobile health, home security and entertainment). There is a further opportunity in the area of enabling services such as remote device monitoring, firmware updating, and data management and analytics. These services are essential to masking complexity from the householder and delivering a high-quality and robust user experience.
in progressive stages. At present, embedded connectivity is a novelty in a few high-end home devices. At some point in the future, connectivity will be pervasive and a feature of virtually all household devices. Smart home services will go through at least three distinct stages of market evolution ...
a single company, or even a single sector. In order to put together an attractive package of smart home applications, there needs to be collaboration among companies that often view each other as competitors for the 'ownership' of consumers. Collaboration will be crucial for the success of smart home. Many of the initial smart home service concepts will be an extension of existing service offerings from companies in four key adjacent industries to the mobile sector - utilities, home security, entertainment, health and wellness sectors.
Buildings are the superset of Smart Homes. Smart Buildings refers to commercial multi-user / office buildings. Smart Buildings are more complex than Smart Homes ...
and metering platforms to provide a detailed picture of a building's state. This unified system tracks, informs, and controls resource use while integrating with business systems. (Echlin)
in an architecture that promotes integration between multi-vendor and multi- owner systems — allowing information transparency between all constituent systems and, ultimately, to the stakeholders themselves. (Echlin)
using advanced technology and materials, contributing to reduced energy usage and the sustainability of the building, and providing more efficient and effective operation. (Sinopoli)
optimize system performance and simplify facility operations. Integration greatly reduces the expense and frustration associated with installing and operating multiple autonomous building systems. (buildings.com)
controlled by a centralized common user interface. Use a shared network for all building-system communications. Are high-performance buildings that provide significant benefits to building owners, property/facility management professionals, and end-users. Maximize building performance and efficiency by integrating building systems such as lighting, HVAC, safety, power management, security (access control, video surveillance, and visitor management), etc. Use technology and strategies that add long-term, sustainable value to the property.
shows proper ventilation can increase work performance and lower 'sick building syndrome' symptoms by up to 19 percent. Buildings affect their environment: 42 percent of the world's electricity is used by buildings. In the United States it's as high as 70 percent. By 2025, buildings will be the largest emitters of greenhouse gases on our planet. In the United States alone, buildings produce 38% of green-house gas emissions.
buildings get smarter. Turning them from static structures into ever-evolving, data- generating ecosystems - ones that sense their surrounding environment, maintain their own upkeep and adapt to the needs of their inhabitants.
a sustainable manner, coordinating all aspects from design to demolition is holistically managed and optimized to integrate well with other buildings, smarter cities, and smarter systems (e.g., smart grid) leverages technology and process for a safer, more productive, operationally efficient building
tools, sensors, and actuators that monitor everything to create buildings that are: Cost effective for their owners and tenants: Reducing energy and operational costs; and Maintaining high property value Operationally efficient Comfortable and productive for their occupants Safer and more secure Environmentally responsible for the planet
The unprecedented proliferation of smart sensors and control systems from the last decade can detect and sense various conditions and emit alerts on responses from many disparate systems. This data can feed insights into the management and process of each of these systems.
in Rochester, Minnesota, that covers 3.3 million square feet The facility had more than 250,000 sensor points with the potential to report information. Only about 1/3 of these sensors, approximately 80,000 data points, changed often enough to be deemed necessary to look at on a routine basis.
12 percent changed status often enough to be sampled for performance and energy optimization. Even so, 12 percent equaled 2,150,000 points of information that had to be collected and resolved monthly. To help sort out what to do with all of this data, the IBM TRIRIGA Energy Optimization solution was implemented. Along with building enhancements that had been implemented over the past seven years, such as improving insulation and roof material, this solution helped the team achieve an incremental 8 percent energy savings on the monitored equipment.
