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.
This is what you call as the most positive outcome of having International Consultants involved in your projects. A rarity of ideas that have never been thought of in India has been brought forward and there are a few builders who are actually adopting it. Aliens, Lodha etc to name a few :)
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a new era in tasteful lifestyle. I believe some would even call it 'Intelligent Living' (P.S. I picked it up from the Aliens website). Let us see how much of this bear fruit. I am positive about some projects in Hyderabad and Bangalore that I know of. Hope these guys set a standard for others to follow.
