DEFINITION

Smart Building comprises of systems aiming to improve the quality of life by rationally and technologically approaching basic needs such as housing and accommodation quality, building security measures, building air conditioning and energy systems for all buildings in a city.

MOTIVATIONS

  • Ensuring building energy savings
  • Transmission of consumption information to users in real time
  • Expanding net-zero energy buildings
  • Reducing the use of illegal and lost energy
  • Reducing operating and investment costs
  • Increasing indoor air quality
  • Ensuring energy savings based on smart building air conditioning
  • Getting maximum benefit from natural resources (Sun, Wind, …)
  • Supporting air conditioning with building thermal insulation systems
  • Reducing carbon emissions
  • Increase in building market value
  • Ensuring one-stop coordination with integrated building waste management
  • Minimizing building solid waste
  • Classification of waste from the point of origin
  • Recovery of waste without being transmitted to the infrastructure
