Intelligent building technologies

What are the new Intelligent building technologies being used in construction today?

The construction industry involves vast implementation of latest technology to bring the modern look, convenience factor and safety measures in residential, commercial, infrastructure projects .

The new intelligent technologies being used in smart/intelligent homes is named under the umbrella term called Home Automation or Network to home.

Home automation is an up-and-coming trend that the public looks for in residential houses, apartments, and commercial businesses. Although many techniques used in building automation (such as light and climate control, control of doors and window shutters, security and surveillance systems, etc.) are also used in home automation, additional functions in home automation can include the control of multi-media home entertainment systems, automatic houseplant watering, domestic robots and pet feeding, automatic scenes for dinners and parties, and a more user-friendly control interface. Other automated tasks may include setting the air conditioning to an energy saving setting when the house is unoccupied, and restoring the normal setting when an occupant is about to return. Some practical implementations of home automation are for example when an alarm detects a fire or smoke condition, then all lights in the house will blink to alert occupants. If the house is equipped with a home theater, a home automation system can shut down all audio and video components to alert the user to a possible fire or a burglar.

Latest Construction Techniques

We want to build better buildings. We want to build buildings that last. Codal requirements, good construction practices, skilled manpower, awareness about material used, awareness of the end user, testing knowledge and cost and environmental factors are all essentials of construction techniques.
We shall discuss in this blog:
· The correct usage of existing techniques and materials
· Incorporation of new construction techniques
· The use of newer and advanced materials
· Awareness among the construction fraternity and public
· Enhanced skill set of the construction fraternity

Construction techniques are becoming more sophisticated technologically, they are facilitating improved productivity while working in difficult ground conditions, under increasing time pressures. The latest construction equipment and techniques are more environmentally friendly and technologically sound allowing for increased productivity on challenging construction sites. The global construction industry is strong in the traditional markets and demand for specialist equipment will continue to grow as infrastructure projects and construction in general increases in the emerging territories.
Heard of new types of foundation? New types of walls? New types of facades? New types of eco-friendly techniques?
Let’s see all of that in this blog, shall we?
