Smart Building Management
No one can deny that we live in the age of evolution. Whether it is the threat of climate change, the transformative power of technology, or the strange state of globalization, old certainties are challenged every day. These changes are having a tremendous impact on the way we work and live. Now is the time to harness the power of data to create smarter, more stable and resilient structures for the future.
Using technology to make a building smarter is no longer a choice, but a necessity.
Time for change in commercial buildings
Economy, urbanization and climate
Most contractors, owners and investors agree that the commercial construction industry faces greater challenges than ever before.
With the increase in the population of cities, urban space is a priority
As of July 2020, the world population is estimated to be 7.8 billion.
A growing population requires more dynamic management of each building's space to accommodate a more fluid workforce and take more careful care of energy and water resources.
The contribution of buildings to climate change is closely monitored by all institutions.
Buildings consume more than of the world's energy
Buildings consume more than of the world's energy and account for approximately of global carbon emissions. Green building is no longer a luxury option. Many customers, tenants and residents now view green building as the standard. Building developers and builders are expected to incorporate greenhouse gas emission reduction technology from the very beginning.
To address these challenges, national governments around the world are introducing stricter restrictions on building use, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning to more energy efficient buildings is now seen as central to carbon reduction strategies.
The world of the future is smart

Zurich Ambitious planners now define urban areas
In the future, smart neighborhoods or even completely smart cities will grow as an idea.
Buildings built today are crucial to the evolution of the smart city. By building smart buildings, we make our cities more livable, more efficient and more sustainable.
Rather than adding complexity, smart technology creates a significant opportunity to easily increase return on investment and achieve challenging environmental goals.
Smart building management also accelerates the adoption of green technology
Electric vehicles (EV) and solar power have been cleverly integrated, and forward-thinking technology can even change the role of buildings in your collection.
It's time to build a smarter future.
Build buildings that learn
Smart buildings are not new. Architects and developers have been installing separate lighting, heating, and ventilation (HVAC) control systems for decades. The new systems helped building managers control access to different areas of the site, reduce the risk of fire and protect the building from power surges.
What is new is the addition of web-based platforms that allow these verticals to integrate seamlessly.
They can provide a single view of how efficient and effective a building is. Using this data, managers can take preventative measures to prevent waste and improve usage, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money at the same time.
The sheer amount of data generated by buildings turns them into repetitive learning cycles. Sensors in the building monitor the usage of assets and resources and can adapt to changing consumption patterns or occurring activities.
Using preloaded algorithms, buildings can make independent decisions about things like adjusting brightness level and HVAC to reflect the time of day, outdoor environment, occupancy level, or any other variable.
Readings recorded by these smart systems can also be used to make recommendations for reusing systems, rooms or spaces within a building.
Any individual decision can be monitored in real time on the digital dashboard by managers who can intervene anywhere.
Achieving this level of visibility and control is probably the biggest advantage of choosing a smarter structure.
Return on investment for creating smart buildings
There are many real benefits of smart buildings for developers and building owners.
First, smart building management ensures consistent use of resources. A building can save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce energy costs because it adapts to the needs of its users or the goals of its managers.
More efficient and effective use of power can save money and quickly recoup the initial costs of the technology. In a medium-sized commercial building, air conditioning and lighting alone can account for approximately of energy consumption. Thanks to smart automation, managers can see energy costs reduced by 30 to 50 percent.
By comparing energy savings with the reduction in cost of installing a basic smart management system, smart building management immediately proves its value. If a smart system saves 25 percent in energy costs with an installation cost of 37,500 $ for a 50,000-foot building, the annual savings could be 23,000 $, so the payback period is less than two years.
Smart buildings can be profitable
Ceiling space given over to photovoltaic arrays can generate electricity stored in building batteries. In some cases, excess power can be sold to the grid and the building energy positive, creating additional sources of income for building owners.

Lüdenscheid, Germany
Lüdenscheid integrates a wide range of technologies into a digitally networked and controllable intelligent system. On sunny days, solar energy technology meets 0 of the factory requirement, enough to power 340 private households. When used with a field power plant, it can produce more energy than it needs. This excess can be resold to the public grid, meaning the site has positive energy.
Indexing plants save up to 630 tonnes of CO2 per year. This site makes a significant and long-term contribution to improving the environment both locally and for the wider community.
Building intelligence minimizes maintenance costs
Smart maintenance is up to 9 times cheaper than traditional methods.
Predictive troubleshooting can save maintenance time as well as reduce downtime of expensive equipment or services. Some estimates suggest that intelligently skilled predictive maintenance is 3 to 9 times cheaper than the traditional reactive approach. Tenant and occupant satisfaction is also generally higher because faulty systems can be quickly identified, repaired, and restarted.
Smart buildings are more resilient to power outages.
Conserving electricity is crucial in most businesses, but this is especially true in hospitals where power outages can be life-threatening. Smart technology can be used to ensure that the intensive care unit or surgical departments remain open even when power goes out elsewhere.
Smart technology is more attractive to tenants.
Smart features can be a powerful source of differentiation in a busy commercial real estate industry.
Many tenants consider the impact their building choices will have on their brand. In a world where investors, customers and potential employees question companies about their sustainability and CSR strategies, building with smart environmental management systems can be a bargain. Research by USGBC, developers of the LEED certification plan, states that 79 percent of people working in a LEED-certified building say they would choose another job in a LEED-certified building over a non-LEED building. Employees working in green buildings with LEED certification also felt happier, healthier and more productive.
Smart technology is renovating old buildings
At least of European buildings were built before the 1960s.
These now rely on passive forms of energy management that are often embedded deep within the fabric of the building itself. Insulation, double glazing, flooring, etc.
Most methods are very inefficient. They do not actively respond to how the building is used and cannot be easily adjusted. Even buildings newly constructed in the 1980s consume twice as much energy as new construction.
Data from the European Parliament shows that the same return on investment benefits enjoyed by new structures can be quickly realized by old structures. For example, deep renovation of a building can reduce heating demand by more than .
Lower energy costs, lower maintenance costs and less vacuum can be achieved from day one.
smart technology
Smart technology changes the perspective of farsighted owners.
Integrating smart technology into your building development is a strategic decision.
It should now be clear that a smart building is more than a set of products in a physical environment. Owners and investors can set goals and plans based on real-time asset usage patterns in data visualization, meaning scenario plans can account for long-term space management. Using a “digital twin,” owners can test internal configuration changes while controlling resource consumption and even evaluate overall usage changes to maximize asset value.
The building itself becomes a platform for a number of different digital systems, services and functions that can be modified according to the owners' strategy. This “Build as a Service” (BaaS) model has far-reaching implications for ensuring longevity by making it relatively easy to modify building performance over time, potentially eliminating wear and tear.
With over 130 years of experience in complex energy projects, ABB is uniquely placed to advise on how to unlock the long-term benefits of smart power. Experience tells us that success means making changes to your approach to a construction or renovation project.
The four pillars of the smart building
The most successful and durable smart buildings were developed using four key pillars
Forget previous assumptions
Be solution-oriented and start with an open mind.
Work in the opposite direction
Start with people and analyze what you and project decision makers want to achieve with building intelligence.
to cooperate
Share data, information and applications broadly. Avoid information gaps
Stay flexible
Develop agile thinking. Be open to new ideas. Try it and find out.
Clear and consistent fit with landscape and electrical needs
A powerful platform for current needs and the evolution of future buildings
The first step of smart building development: Forget assumptions
If you want to avoid expensive mistakes, start with an open mind.
Never consider solutions without carefully listening to what all stakeholders want the building to achieve now and in the future.
You need to start with a complete and comprehensive view of the building you're facing. Not all building types are the same. Break it down into micro segments and find the right solution for each.
The built environment is becoming more complex and competitive with each passing year.
Buildings are becoming increasingly complex and costly. It is becoming increasingly important to consider a building as a whole, rather than focusing on individual systems or features. Many buildings are constructed to accommodate development or change of use throughout their life. A one size fits all solution is not suitable for all projects. And today's solution may not be right tomorrow.
Get initial buy-in from all stakeholders through a workshop or roundtable so you don't have to go back and change the entire system later.
Think seriously about how a building might evolve over time and what that might mean for its needs. Prepare the future of your project.
The second leg of smart building development: working in reverse
Buildings are built for people. Any construction or renovation project should begin with thorough research into how people use the building and what a successful visit would look like. Think of it as a building vision or mission.
People in a building are trying to accomplish something. These people should be at the forefront of your planning.
When everyone involved in the project understands the vision, you can work as a team to design the optimal solution architecture.
Before you begin any planning, make sure all stakeholders understand the goals, including investors, homeowners, tenants, residents, and even the entire city or national government. When you consider all these different perspectives first, you can avoid misunderstandings later.
Conducting research with end users can help you prioritize your needs and goals.
Make sure everyone shares a clear and simple vision for what you're trying to achieve. If possible, try to summarize this with an inspiring sentence. If this statement is unclear or there is no consensus, consider holding a workshop with your stakeholders.
The third pillar of smart building development: Collaboration
Collaboration will be the heart of your success. Smart technology is a network of switches, sensors, and devices that must be seamlessly interconnected.
Creating a successful building is about building the same unity of people's views, expertise and expectations.
Frequent meetings between different internal and external teams are crucial to align working methods, agree on key milestones, set and manage expectations, and deal with obstacles.
Providing access to shared development data ensures everyone can see the same information. This creates a common vision and integrated approach while eliminating gaps in knowledge or potential application. The two biggest enemies of effective adoption of smart technology are lack of collaboration and deprived thinking.
The fourth pillar of smart building development: Be flexible
As you begin your power supply process, it is wise to be similarly adaptable and open to new opportunities, challenges, and even limitations. Develop an agile mindset. Test and learn and test again.
Don't be afraid to try new ideas and solutions, but also be uncompromising in terms of efficiency, productivity, quality and safety. This can be challenging and requires strong team commitment and cohesion.
Think big, but start small – this allows for an iterative, experimental and learning approach to your project. Use industry blogs and social media to keep up with the latest developments and action ideas on your projects. Imagine for a moment that you are transported into Earl's karmically driven world. Keeping an open mind can help you consider how the needs of building users may change in the coming years.
The future is even smarter
There has never been a better time to adopt smart building management technologies than today. Smart buildings, which were unimaginable decades ago, have now become a reality. And with the advancement of technology, we can expect even greater leaps and bounds.
We can expect daily building operations to be automated.
Smart offices become intelligently autonomous and learn how residents use space and services and then actively adjust lighting, air conditioning and other systems to maximize health and comfort.
Buildings recognize people at the entrance.
Buildings identify workers as they arrive at work, directing them to an EV charging point and then to a workstation configured to meet their needs for a productive workday. Visitors to an offshore office are identified upon arrival and automatically informed of all appropriate access rights and personalized settings.
Buildings will emit all kinds of positive energy and negative carbon.
Offices, hospitals, shopping malls, stadiums and most homes absorb and store renewable energy from sun and wind. Many charge electricity to the grid or to electric vehicles on site.
More energy efficiency means buildings help fight climate change.
Eliminating the use of fossil fuels as well as carbon-absorbing materials in the fabric of buildings means that buildings will “change direction” and begin to play an active role in cleaning up our cities and combating climate change.
Smart technology in buildings also keeps us healthier for longer.
Hospitals examine patients by ambulance and allocate a room and medical team before the patient arrives. Environmental control in hospitals monitors oxygen and CO2 levels, lighting and heating, optimizing conditions for each patient's recovery.
Finally, we can see buildings as empty platforms for smart technologies.
Building-as-a-service (BaaS)-based building models could become mainstream in the next decade. These allow building owners to download a turnkey software package that quickly transforms a suitable physical shell into a digital hospital, hotel, campus, headquarters or care home.
Building owners will enjoy previously impossible flexibility to meet market opportunities by rapidly changing the building operating system and reusing assets. Deterioration of buildings may become a thing of the past.
Smart buildings are increasingly leading the development of smart cities and are recognized as an important tool to overcome many of the challenges we face today.
We believe that the emergence of smart building technology on a global scale is an opportunity for developers, owners and smart investors. It will provide significant sustainable and financial benefits, as well as meeting social and environmental needs.
For those developing an engaged and open-minded building, smart technology is a potentially business-transforming opportunity.
