“Smart Building Systems” have become a new standard in building construction. *The study found that the number of buildings that use smart building systems This number will increase by more than 150% by 2026* in the adoption of intelligent systems within the business sector. It will help the business sector to manage costs more efficiently. It also helps reduce the amount of labor and redundant work as well. Today, OPEN-TEC, a technology knowledge center (Tech Knowledge Sharing Platform) under the supervision of TCC TECHNOLOGY GROUP, has gathered knowledge from experienced people. In terms of technology care and advice, come and share. To push the business sector to be able to manage smart buildings more efficiently as follows:
What is a “smart building” ?
From the definition of WiredScore** “A smart building means a building that is designed to Building users are central. (user-centric) with the use of technology to help develop costs. convenience environmental friendliness and designing guidelines in advance.”
Factors towards being a smart building
From what was said above Technology is a key factor in upgrading to a smart building. The application of technology will consist of 6 main factors**, namely improving individual and group efficiency (Individual and Collaborative Productivity), improving the health of building users (Health and Wellbeing), and upgrading the community (Community). ) Sustainability (Sustainability), upgrading building management and maintenance (Maintenance and Optimization), and upgrading safety (Security).
When designing or constructing a smart building, it is essential to have long-term planning to cover every step. and select technology that is appropriate for various real estate properties Because of real estate Each type has different needs and details. For example, commercial real estate (Commercial Real Estate) wants to use technology to manage the temporary entry and exit of people. Residential Real Estate (Resident Real Estate) wants to use technology. In managing the regular entry and exit of people or industrial real estate, wanting to use technology to control the operation of machinery, etc.
“People Process Technology” 3 The main challenges of change
In addition to the above, there are three other challenges that the real estate sector will face during the transition to smart building systems. Starting from the challenge of personnel (People) who need to have knowledge and expertise in technology. To help reduce errors that may occur during work. In addition, there are challenges in the process of managing the overall picture to meet the set objectives efficiently. And the final challenge is technology, which requires selecting technology that is appropriate for the working style of that real estate. For example, Building Information Modeling (BIM), a technology that turns buildings into information. Through the process of creating, assembling, and managing designs using three-dimensional data and the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), a computerized maintenance management system, etc. If the real estate sector can overcome the challenges in all 3 areas of People, Process, Technology, it will It will help elevate the organization to being intelligent more easily.
Green world, new vision of tenants Buyers and investors
In addition, Businesses and building users emphasize the importance of adopting ESG principles: Environment, Social, Governance as internal standards. As a result, the business sector joins in pushing for the creation of green buildings (GREEN), such as automatic light turning on and off systems. When the system is used within the organization, it will help reduce the use of wasted energy and help manage energy more efficiently, etc. These things are considered part of the solution to system management. Sustainable smart buildings and help support Thailand’s drive towards achieving carbon neutrality in accordance with Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) requirements.
Finally, will the smart building system be able to function efficiently? It all depends on good planning and management in terms of personnel. Work process and selecting appropriate technology The smart building system can push the real estate sector towards sustainability as well. The above is just some of the content that OPEN-TEC has gathered from the “Building Tech Forum 2023” event organized by the Faculty of Engineering, Sripatum University under the topic Building System Technologies in Digital Era, with the honor of Dr. Thiti Watcharasindhapchai, Smart Property Project Director, T.C.C. Technology Co., Ltd. (TCCTech) is a provider of knowledge on Smart Building only.
