Smart buildings : technologies trat will define the building of the next century
| Resumo: | The nature of real estate is changing. Smart Building Technology has constantly evolved and enabled buildings to develop from being static to becoming reactive and interactive. With the help of Internet of Things technology automated systems are evolving and providing smart building stakeholders with functionalities that allow them to optimize their operations and adapt to their living preferences. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate how different stakeholders, meaning tenants, homeowners, investors and facility managers, value different smart building technologies. Through a survey of the respective stakeholder groups and selected interviews with experts, the aim is to determine the most promising technologies and evaluate potential improvements that can be achieved when implementing these. The technologies analysed are ranging from the technologies that aim to improve the energy consumption, safety, communication and comfort. The findings were leveraged with the current state of research from academic literature. The results of the dissertation are that the average of the stakeholders prefer technologies that bring economic and ecological improvements and thus save resources and costs. In addition, preference was given to technologies that provide platforms for other technologies. Technologies such as smart grid/smart meter, building dashboards and photovoltaic technology are among them. Finally, expert interviews and findings from current academic literature testify that not only smart technologies make up a smart building, but that the entire value chain of a building must be considered. Accordingly, a smart building must be economically, ecologically and socially sustainable. |
