Activities Home Automation Step by step process of automating a home using various technologies. Homma Haus Mount Tabor Homma Haus Mount Tabor is a multi-family community project, integrating the best in technology with modern architecture. This is just the beginning of HOMMA creating homes built ready for today’s lifestyle. The living spaces allow you to connect with nature, achieve mindfulness, and recharge in comfort – the essentials of a healthy life. Homma Haus Waterside Homma Haus Waterside is a residential home design, integrating the best in technology with modern architecture. This is just the beginning of creating homes built ready for today’s lifestyle. Our living spaces will allow you to connect with nature, achieve mindfulness, and recharge in comfort – the essentials of a healthy life. Pittsburgh building portfolio cyber-secure, real-time utility data integration and AI analysis This project is expanding on a successful 5 building pilot with the City of Pittsburgh to integrate most of the 167 city building’s real-time (15 minute interval) utility and usage data in the BuildFit application and BOSS Controls Smart Plugs. Using visualizations and artificial intelligence algorithms developed at the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) School of Architecture (SOA), BuildFit will then provide recommendations for utility savings, sub-metering and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) optimization. The project will also allow for comprehensive support for the Pittsburgh Building Benchmarking Ordinance and Regional Energy Strategy (Power of 32) and 2030 District Challenge to improve energy resiliency and efficiency. Another important feature of the software and hardware components of this project will be defining and implementing the cyber security standards for smart building components and software in conjunction with NIST and other key government agencies. This will also include the first Smart Building/Smart City independent training, testing and certification lab at the Energy Innovation Center in Pittsburgh, PA Smart Buildings Action Cluster SBAC will focus on smart buildings within the environment of communities on a local and regional level. There are a number of issues pertaining to communications, connectivity and integration that need to be resolved. This group will discuss these issues and others that arise over time, as well as work to provide best practices and prototype demonstrations of such. Press 3D-Printed Net Zero Energy Community Palari Group and Sinarmas Land Limited , announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership in the US. SML acquired a 40% stake to jointly expand Palari's pipeline of sustainable single-family residences, including the World's First 3D-Printed Net Zero Energy Community in Greater Palm Springs, CA. White House Launches Coalition to Strengthen Building Performance Standards The Biden-Harris Administration announced the first-ever Federal Building Performance Standard, setting an ambitious goal to cut energy use and electrify equipment and appliances in 30 percent of the building space owned by the Federal government by 2030.

An Intelligent Building (IB) is a type of building that uses digital technology to improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of building management.

An IB typically includes a variety of smart systems such as HVAC, lighting, security, and other building management systems that are integrated and controlled using a central management system. These systems can be controlled remotely using a smartphone or other device, and can be integrated with other smart building systems such as smart energy systems and smart transportation systems.

Examples of Intelligent Building systems include:

• Smart HVAC systems: These systems use sensors and data analytics to optimize heating and cooling, reducing energy consumption and costs.
• Smart lighting systems: These systems use sensors, data analytics, and communication networks to optimize lighting, reducing energy consumption and costs.
• Smart security systems: These systems use sensors, cameras, and communication networks to improve building security, reducing the risk of break-ins and other security issues.
• Smart elevators: These elevators are equipped with sensors, data analytics, and communication networks to optimize elevator usage, reducing wait times and energy consumption.
• Smart parking systems: These systems use sensors, data analytics, and communication networks to optimize parking, reducing congestion and improving the use of parking spaces.

The benefits of an Intelligent Building include:

• Increased energy efficiency: Intelligent Buildings can help to reduce energy consumption by optimizing heating and cooling, lighting, and other building systems.
• Increased convenience: Intelligent Buildings can be controlled remotely using a smartphone or other device, which can make it more convenient to manage building systems.
• Increased safety: Intelligent Buildings can improve building security by reducing the risk of break-ins and other security issues.
• Increased sustainability: Intelligent Buildings can help to increase sustainability by reducing energy consumption and environmental impacts.

Reduced costs: Intelligent Buildings can help to reduce costs by reducing energy consumption, improving building management, and reducing the need for expensive building infrastructure.
