DIGITAL BUILDINGS
Digital Buildings are any structures that use integrated processes and smart ICT design to self-regulate their environments and operations. Future Tec.’s MEP, Structured Cabling and ICT teams can design and deliver your digital building. Having your Digital Building infrastructure designed by one company means, all building services are delivered on to one integrated communication platform.
Digital buildings deliver intelligent services from the moment people step inside them, until the moment they leave. For example, they can determine the percentage of the workforce present at any given time, and automatically adjust the settings of its facilities according to occupants’ feedback.
This is achieved through wireless and hardwired sensors connected to lighting, electricity, heat, ventilation, air conditioning, building automation, vertical access, car parking, access control and security. Future Tec. places human comfort at the heart of its smart building design process.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is having a transformative effect on smart building control and function. By disrupting long-established business models and providing new opportunities to improve the efficiency of buildings, IoT can raise employee productivity and stimulate innovation.
IoT enables smart buildings to be:
Human-centric: Designed to the requirements of the people who will occupy them.
Flexible: Built with inherent flexibility, dismantling rigid structures of old, enabling them to be quickly and effectively repurposed.
Seamless: Able to self-manage, learn, anticipate, respond without the need for human intervention.
Sustainable: Capable of existing off grid and developing self-sustaining ecosystems through cutting-edge technology.
Intelligent: sensors capture all data within the building, enabling automated modification of their settings, and continuous self-tuning for the benefit of their occupants.
