How do Smart Buildings Affect the People Inside
Having a smart building can add to the general living and office happiness, and having a happy work environment can only bring the business more benefits. Common building functions like heating, lighting, ventilation, plumbing, and so on, can all be interlinked and overseen easily after a building is “smartified”. Not only does a smart building equipped with quality low voltage solutions like electromechanical devices and electrical switches like these ones help save electricity, but thanks to their simple management, many other resources can be monitored and preserved as well. Furthermore, not only is energy saved, but the air quality in the buildings is improved too. Silent yet damaging, air pollution is a big issue in generally older buildings. Causing a high number of deaths, and influencing the asthma-related conditions in school buildings, it is of paramount importance that the ventilation systems are raised to smarter levels. A WHO Study states that 1.3 million people in India die due to indoor air pollution every year. With a staggering number of deaths caused by having bad air quality, having a healthy workspace must become the norm. With smart buildings many of the older manual functions are now connected to one single apparatus, making them easier to manage and oversee. Already only the advantages that a business could garner from offering its employees a happy workplace are high; imagine what a healthy space could do too. With so many advancements, why keep with the old? And if saving electricity is important at home, why isn’t it at work too? In the long run, having a smart building also saves companies from various inevitable refurbishing costs, meaning that besides being the more economic choice, changing building type leads to many different types of improvements. So working in a space that saves electricity, with clean air, and with happy colleagues all around, means feeling less at work, and more at home.
