What are the advantages of choosing smart home automation in Markham?

All those who intend to build a residential house or a commercial building in Markham are faced with many work and technical and financial issues. Especially in recent years, issues such as energy consumption management, IT, and renovation of old houses with new technology have involved many factors in choosing the type and model of consumer products in buildings. Some of these factors are briefly mentioned below.

Cost efficiency

The building construction costs and the current building maintenance costs are essential factors in housing investment. For example, the more flexible the technology used in the building and the better it responds to the changes in the building and technological innovation, the more added value it will bring to the building owners. Due to the lack of energy resources in the world, the need to manage and control buildings so that less and more efficient energy is consumed in buildings is evident, and this is possible by providing smart building control.

Security and safety

If we want the building to be safe, it must be able to respond appropriately to the events that have occurred, regardless of the presence or absence of residents. Due to physical limitations such as the volume of cables passed through the walls, traditional wiring systems are not only not a suitable solution for building automation and control systems but also due to the cost and time-consuming nature of any use change. From the complete installation, the buildings’ electrical systems will have little safety and security.

flexibility

Considering buildings are generally designed to be used for several decades, intentionally or unintentionally, the use of rooms may change during this time. As a result, the need for flexible solutions is felt so that the user can easily change the user of his system and spend the least amount of money without splitting the walls and installing new cables.

comfort

Everyone expects to have comfort in their home or workplace. Modern electrical equipment should provide comfort and convenience in work and residential environments while performing correctly.

Going with the stream

Markham is one of southern Ontario’s most modern and significant cities. One thousand active science and new technologies companies are working in this city, among them the famous IBM company. Industrial and financial companies such as Honda and Toyota financial services are guests of this city. If you like living in such a modern city, choosing smart homes will be a good choice for you (like most people in this city) if you have an old house.

What are the features of smart buildings?

If you live in Markham and didn’t decide to have a smart home yet, by reading the following content, you will surely understand why your neighbours have smart homes. Below we mention some examples of smart buildings with different uses to understand these types of buildings better.

What-are-the-features-of-smart-buildings

The scenario in a residential building or smart home

In a residential building, the following can be controlled automatically by the central controller system:

1- Building heating and cooling system

2- Lighting system

3- Alarm system

4- All doors and windows

5- All electrical outlets

When a person leaves his home, he announces the status of leaving home by pressing a button (or sending a command signal in any other way). In this way, according to previous planning, these will be done automatically:

  • All protective doors and windows are locked.
  • All the lights (or some of them) turn off.
  • The current of some temporary loads (such as TV) is cut off, and the security sensors to detect the presence of people are activated so that if some people enter, the siren will sound.
  • The outdoor area lights are turned on for a few minutes until the person leaves the house, and then they turn off.
  • The temperature set point is reduced, and the heating system consumes less energy to heat the building.

While outside of the home, a person can control their home, including:

  • In case of fire or theft, be notified via email or SMS.
  • Using the Internet network, he can control the cameras installed at home and receive their images.
  • Some lights are turned on at certain times and then turned off to deceive thieves. Similarly, when a person intends to enter the house, he can use his mobile phone to announce his arrival before arriving.
  • Turn on the ambient lights outside and in the parking lot and corridors.
  • The temperature set point is increased, and the ambient temperature is adjusted for the presence of people. After entering the house and passing through the corridors, the room lights should be turned on.

The scenario in the smart hotel building

Nowadays, smart cards are used instead of keys in most hotels. Various information, such as room numbers, is stored in these cards.

After the passenger enters the hotel and completes the reception procedures, the following actions will be taken in a smart hotel.

  • The passenger holds his card in front of the elevator door, and after entering, there is no need to press any button. The elevator automatically reads the information about the floor of the room from his card and stops at the corresponding floor.
  • When the reception area activates the card, the room’s temperature is set to a specific value.
  • Aisle lights are turned on to guide passengers.
  • The light above the room turns on and off as a guide.
  • On the TV screen in the room, a greeting message appears with the person’s name.

The scenario in the smart office building

  • In a smart office building, the lights are turned off after a specific time when the employees leave the room and are turned on again when they enter.
  • If there is enough daylight, the light of the lights will be reduced so that less electrical energy is consumed.
  • The access of employees to some rooms should be limited automatically.
  • With the end of office hours and the departure of all employees from the office, the temperature set point is reduced, and during the night hours, the heating system consumes less energy.
  • If equipment breaks down (for example, a lamp burns out), appropriate information is automatically sent to the control center and the operator.
  • When a fire occurs on one building floor, the fire notification system is activated, and the elevator is prevented from stopping on that floor. The air intake valves are closed, the floor electricity is cut off and…

The mentioned cases show that in smart buildings, controllability and security have increased to what extent, and there is a possibility of significant energy consumption savings.
