The Technology
“SMART Building Technology” or Building Information Modeling (BIM)
is a collection of software and hardware products and services that use data
and information about a building and its environment to automatically optimize
the building’s operation and maintenance according to user requirements.
Pioneered by some of technology’s most progressive and innovative leaders;
Cisco Systems, Hewlett Packard, Johnson Controls and Siemens Corporation, SMART Building
Technology takes many different forms but is ultimately enabled by the
availability of low cost actuators , sensors and proliferation of data
networking across an urban environment. A SMART building has the infrastructure
necessary to identify and correct its own sub-optimal operation, adapt to
changes in user requirements and interact with its occupants.

Energy Efficiency: More accurate monitoring and controls of energy
intensive systems like HVAC and lighting help keep inefficiencies in check. The
careful measurement and monitoring of energy use for the purpose of reducing
consumption is the hallmark of Green and SMART buildings. Owners/tenants can
expect to have a reduced effect on the environment.

Fast, Effective Service: BIM technology gives owners the tools
needed to better serve guest, occupants and students. Recent innovations allow
facility professionals to access building systems via secure intranet, making
it easier to answer questions and monitor building performance. Problems are
identified early and solved immediately.

Simplified Property Management: Maintenance crews will no longer take pressure
readings, adjust valves by hand or search through stacks of blueprints and
schematics to find information.
Adjustments are made and information obtained from the network operation
center, the 3D model, with just a few simple keystrokes. The result is a
streamlined facility management operation.
Enhanced Life Safety and Security: Innovations in fire response
allow other building systems to react to alarms: exhaust dampeners open, the IP
and paging systems issue instructions of occupants, the access control systems
unlock doors for evacuation and access to emergency responders, CCTV cameras
provide emergency responders with a view of the environment.

Indoor Air Quality: BIM technology provides building
owners/operators with the ability to monitor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and take
appropriate actions to minimize the negative effects of contaminants, humidity
and pollutants on museum artifacts
and objects.
