• A smart building can reduce operating costs

• Comfort levels of the occupants can be improved

To have a proper building means having at least four walls and a roof, right? It sounds too simple, these are the minimum requirements for a building to exist (not including permits, etc.) Buildings exist to provide shelter to those inside. You might ask why anything is built more than that? Why not create a building that is cheaply made, compact, and provides just the essentials?

The truth of the matter is that buildings are what shape who we are. They are more than a shelter or the place where we live or work. Buildings actually influence our happiness levels and our productivity. The better a building is, the more efficient its occupants can be. Furthermore, inclusive relationships are encouraged, and built; thus, creating a healthy environment for everyone within the building.

In Virginia, smart buildings are growing in popularity. They intend to improve the experience for building occupants while lowering energy costs and increasing ROI. Did we mention the environmental effects of smart buildings in Virginia? These systems can save 30-60% of energy resources, recycle water, and use less waste. This offers incredible advantages for local and global communities. 

Feedback on Smart Buildings

Prior to smart building systems, there was no reliable way to gauge how comfortable building occupants were. Sure, they could complete a form or be asked to provide input, but the process was often biased and lacked scientific support. Smart buildings in VA use real-time data to analyze and assess the environment. It can also compare data to similar buildings around the world. This creates “smart feedback” that can show management metrics such as comfort levels, productivity, overall satisfaction, temperature preferences, and more. To gather this data, a smart building will need to implement a process such as the following:

1. Set a measurable goal or a priority of the building (i.e., a goal could be to reduce temperature-related complaints from building occupants by 7%)
2. Ask occupants to give their feedback. This should be done using technology that includes trackable feedback and questions that are repeatable and statistical. 
3. Collect the data, assess it, and find a solution. 
4. Once a solution has been created and implemented, the results can be tracked. This will show whether the real data from the smart building systems is improving the well-being of those inside the building.
