Did you know that advanced building controls and energy management strategies could result in an average of nearly 30% energy savings? Unfortunately, there is an industry-wide knowledge gap that addresses how to utilize advanced controls to capitalize on energy savings and ensure buildings run at peak performance.
A smart building is any structure that uses automated processes to automatically control the building's operations, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security, and other systems. This session aims to introduce the concept of smart buildings from two perspectives: fundamental principles and practical applications and solutions. The fundamental principles part includes a discussion on what the smart building is and how it works to achieve smart control and optimal energy efficiency.
