Smart Buildings
Automated and intelligent systems to control access, security and environmental settings
A Smart Building provides intelligent control for the entire premises. Digitalization is incorporated into the building technology to provide ease of use and cost reduction.
Turning the building into an experience
So what distinguishes a smart building?
When it comes to the term smart building or smart facility, many people first think of the smart home and although the technology is the same there are in fact, some differences between the two. The Smart Home only refers to a single residential unit. The technology that is used here primarily plays a role in your private living comfort. This results in a network of different individual devices. You can, for example, control the refrigerator, stove, washing machine and entertainment electronics centrally. You may also add some areas of home automation – such as heating or blinds.
A Smart Building takes a big step further. The focus here is not on a single residential unit, but on the entire building. This enables efficient control of all areas of building technology – from access control and lighting technology to heating and ventilation and thus optimizing the use of the entire building.
A holistic control system for your building

Other important aspects are visitor management and burglary protection. Access for employees can be implemented, for example, using access cards or their smartphone, which acts as a mobile access control device. Window contact sensors and door sensors that are connected to an alarm system reduce the chance of a break-in and can deter potential intruders. These measures can be combined with monitoring via video systems. Surveillance cameras record the intruders and also have a deterrent effect. With the help of infrared sensors, monitoring can continue even in the dark.

These systems can save your home an average of 11 to 20 percent on HVAC costs, and 3 percent on lighting costs. Smart appliances and smart electronics: Smart appliances like dishwashers and washing machines can change their operation times to non-peak hours when electricity is less expensive.
Easier management, increased security, energy optimization and other benefits
A smart building enables easy management
With traditional systems, you need several workers to control the entrance to the building, to adjust the heating, to control the blinds and to take care of all other tasks that arise throughout the building. A smart building performs these tasks automatically. It reduces the costs significantly.
In addition, these systems contribute to the safety of the workforce and the entire company. Door security is paramount in protecting a company’s assets and its employees. Comprehensive fire protection measures also contribute to safety.
Energy efficiency reduces the negative impact on our environment and reduces costs. With Smart Building technology lighting can be controlled as required, automatically. As soon as there is nobody in a room, the light is switched off. This reduces power consumption. The heating and ventilation can also be perfectly adapted to your needs. Artificial intelligence even makes it possible to precisely predict the use of the individual areas of a building and only heat or cool them when it is necessary.
How long people stay within the building provides us with data that makes it possible to optimize the use of your smart offices. If this data shows that a room is mostly empty, its use can be adapted. It also allows predictive maintenance. In this way, costs can be reduced significantly.

A technology with a wide range of possible applications
The options for implementing Smart Building technology are diverse. The technology is particularly suitable for larger commercial buildings. This technology is particularly advantageous if several independent companies are based there – for example, in shared workspaces. In this way, users do not have to worry about managing the building. In addition, the technology ensures that each employee only has access to the areas of his own company. This is indispensable for coworking space, for example, in order to ensure a high level of facility security.
