Intelligent buildings are the types of buildings that provide a cost-effective and productive environment for customers and management. Smart buildings optimize structures, service & management, systems, and the interrelationship between their basic elements. Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices are installed within a building and monitored from a control server.
As a result, the
management can oversee everything taking place within the building without
moving around. The kind of technology used in smart buildings has boosted the
hotel industry and other sectors. Therefore, we shall look at some of the major
advantages of smart buildings and their contribution to the hospitality
sector's growth.
Reduce Energy
consumption
Normally, the energy
consumption rate differs with the building size and the type of appliance and
utilities installed in it. For instance, smart hotels have IoT- devices that
aim to improve customer satisfaction. Generally, using smart technology to man
buildings can reduce energy consumption from 5%-30%.
As a result, it’s
possible to save on electricity bills, and a smart energy management system
provides insight into energy consumption data. Therefore, the management can
predict energy use and develop effective and efficient strategies for meeting
the company goals and objectives.
Enhance building
efficiency
Companies operating on
an intelligent building stand a chance of improving their performance
and customer satisfaction than those on ordinary buildings. For instance,
installing Unobtrusive sensors allows the hotel management to obtain data
anonymously on the general use of buildings facilities.
The smart systems use
these data to adjust to efficient and effective use of heat and light.
Additionally, sensors can be used to know when the guests leave their rooms or
when the door is open/closed. As a result, the management can send room service
providers when appropriate, so the guests aren’t inconvenienced.
Enable Superior
Building Management
Smart buildings
feature precision-integrated systems, which allow enhancement of IT and
facility management systems. Therefore, sit easy to optimize building
performance by increasing customer satisfaction. The Simplification of smart
building operating systems makes it easy for the IT team to deal with the
central control system.
Without having to deal
with numerous independent systems, the building operation will be flawless.
Since Smart buildings are controlled from a single control point, using
functions like HVAC systems, network support, and other functions will be
controlled effortlessly and effectively.
Increase
productivity
Another advantage of
smart buildings is that they enhance business productivity. Intelligent
management systems have been designed to better user experience. For instance,
all the internet of things within the building meets the health and safety
regulations. Moreover, the system monitors the entire building, and from the
data collected, the management can include all the necessary equipment needed
by occupants.
Predictive
maintenance
Dealing with defective
equipment within a residential or commercial property can be distressful to the
occupants and the management. However, Intelligent buildings have
high-end systems, so that indicate the real-time status of interconnected
devices.
Also, it can give a
warning when a device is failing to work or reducing in terms of performance.
With the preliminary information, the management can carry out maintenance,
repairs, or replacement in time to prevent service customer
dissatisfaction.
