What will the next era of smart building technologies should be
Imagine a building that speaks to you
Imagine a building that listens to you and thinks about saving you money
A building that knows the weather forecast before you do and prepares your building for you.
The future of building management systems are adaptive technologies instead of smart building technologies.
This means that the buildings are not only capable of responding to their environment but also predicting the future needs of their occupants. This is done through the use of data analytics and machine learning. The buildings are able to learn the preferences of their occupants and adjust the environment accordingly. For example, if the building knows that the occupants are working late, the building may adjust the temperature to make sure that the occupants are comfortable.
With an adaptive approach, the building management system is constantly learning and evolving to better meet the needs of occupants and the building itself. This type of system would use data from weather forecasts, occupancy sensors, and energy usage to make decisions about heating, cooling, and lighting. The goal is to create a more comfortable and efficient space for occupants while also reducing the building’s energy consumption.
A building that is adaptive is one that interacts with the people who use it and the environment around it to create a space that is comfortable, efficient, and safe.
