For one thing, don’t think that building instrumentation simply means a smart meter. You can now remotely monitor almost any building condition – occupancy, light level, air quality, temperature, etc.

Smart buildings are a win for building owners. Operational optimization delivers both cost savings and enhanced value per square foot.

Not only can ICT reduce energy waste, it can help buildings produce their own energy via on-site solar panels, wind turbines, fuel cells and the like. Distributed generation won’t replace power plants outright. But together with energy storage and demand response, it can reduce the number of peaker power plants. Distributed generation also helps reduce the environmental costs associated with transmitting energy over long distances.

Smart buildings use less energy and less water – important because water requires large amounts of energy to pump and treat. As a result, carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions are lower in smart cities.

In the same way that ICT helps smart buildings save energy, it helps them save water too. Operational optimization helps smart buildings manage water resources with precise efficiency, eliminating waste and reducing cost for owners and occupants. Sometimes it’s just a matter of better scheduling.

Most buildings can save 10 to 30 percent on energy just by installing an intelligent building management system to manage devices such as occupancy sensors, light dimmers and smart thermostats. Buildings with smart meters or smart thermostats can participate in utility demand response programs.

ICT can greatly improve safety and security via access cards, video monitoring, fire and smoke alarms and similar means. Full situational awareness means that building operators have a complete picture of their building and its environs, and are able to respond to issues or threats in real time. In some cases, these systems can even correct problems remotely and automatically.

City should encourage smart buildings, which use sensors, meters, systems and software to monitor and control a wide range of building functions – lighting, energy, water, HVAC, communications, video monitoring, intrusion detection, elevator monitoring and fire safety among them.

smartphone is a great place for a resident to receive alerts and access city services. Today’s smartphones have a GPS locator, a microphone, a gyroscope, a light sensor, a camera, an accelerometer, a barometer, a thermometer, a magnetometer and a hygrometer.

WE need to modernize electric power grids and, water and sewerage networks. smart meters and smart sensors are to be placed, producing data of value to a smart city.
