LEED- smart, first of all, we have to talk about what LEED certification is. This LEED is the abbreviation of in and. Simply put, it is a rating system widely recognized worldwide and used to measure the sustainability of buildings in various aspects such as energy efficiency, water quality management, indoor environmental quality, etc.
And this smart is the smart building solution. Smart buildings are not casually mentioned, they must have a very powerful system. What kind of automated control system can achieve fine adjustments to light, temperature, ventilation, etc.
Speaking of Smart's advantages, there are quite a few:
1. Energy consumption is more cost-effective : Through advanced control technology, energy can be distributed and used on demand. Taking some large-scale commercial smarts in the United States as an example, compared with traditional buildings, LEED-certified smart building solutions, energy consumption in lighting, air conditioning, etc. can save almost 30% to 40%
2. Live more comfortable : the indoor temperature, humidity, air quality and other environmental indicators have always been appropriate, and the humidity adjustment can be maintained within 40% of the human body's comfort range.
3. Extremely efficient operation : the prediagnosis of equipment failures allows maintenance and repairs to be prepared in advance; the optimization efficiency of property management work in some buildings can change upward by 20%
Let's take a look at the key modules one by one
1. Efficient energy management system
This emphasizes refined management, and there are smart power metering devices that can monitor data in one hour or even real-time and analyze the electricity consumption patterns based on this. It’s like a company building reasonably arranges the power supply during working hours based on the electricity analysis of work and rest. In addition, solar and wind energy storage equipment make the building’s energy sources more diversified. Only by LEED certification scores can it increase. If the power management is good, it will naturally meet the requirements of sustainability. For example, many of the North American LEED certified office buildings pay a lot less than the year-on-year due to the intelligent monitoring of electricity.
2. Intelligent environment monitoring
It is used to measure air quality, and can display key information such as PM2.5 CO2 concentration in real time, etc. For example, in a conference room, the intelligent ventilation system must be turned on quickly to ensure the circulation of fresh air in the room. The temperature and humidity sensors must be controlled and adjusted. We all know that the constant temperature is about 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, and it is best for people to stay for a long time. The wider the sensors are, the more detailed and precise the monitoring is, so that the intelligent device can sense every change and adjust it, and realize intelligent ecological environment maintenance.
There is also a smart security and security module that needs to be discussed. It has the technology of automatic access control identification and other personnel passes, as well as plans to start quickly in emergencies such as fire alarms. Moreover, in the elevator, we can intelligently identify the target floor and avoid waiting and wasting time. What floor information and passenger traffic congestion can be provided and reasonably regulated.
Let’s add some details through Q&A.
Q: Is it difficult to implement smart building solutions?
Answer: Actually, it must be a bit difficult. At the technical level, some old buildings have troubles in renovating and wiring, and the integration of many hardware and software systems is quite difficult to coordinate and unify, but professional technical service companies on the market can slowly overcome it with modern facilities and equipment.
Q: Is the impact on the budget obvious?
Answer: The investment in the early stage will definitely be a little higher than that of ordinary buildings. However, if you look at the equipment maintenance and life, the cost of smart things will not be large. Furthermore, many expenses are saved in the later stage, electricity, water, electricity, and equipment maintenance costs, which will greatly increase the time and benefit greatly.
Let’s take a look at the difference between ordinary traditional buildings and LEED certified smart buildings. Ordinary buildings rely heavily on manual inspection of equipment status, which would waste a lot of time. Without scientific assessment of daily energy use, it would naturally cause energy consumption. Intelligent not only does the equipment run abnormally, automatic text messages and other notifications to maintenance staff, but also greatly saves energy and even saves a lot of extra electricity output from the solar wind energy of smart buildings. The comparison is too obvious. Then, when it comes to environmental construction, traditional buildings are basically a hard-tuning adjustment, and there is no way to do some small and fine-grained maintenance. Smart building sensors capture the number of people, what activities are in the environment, etc., fine-tuning to maintain the optimal conditions, so we have to admit that the situation is quite different.
Let’s talk more about some practical things here. Let’s look at some operation details and pay attention to it.
1. When choosing hardware equipment, you must choose good quality, high reputation and reputation, and this supplier product, preferably some after-sales guarantee. It cannot be a roadside brand. This stability is too unreliable. In the future, various functions are under maintenance.
2. In terms of software intelligent systems, do not be too far behind and design more. It is necessary to expand planning in the direction of possible future needs. You can develop and improve it again. If you don’t have any advancedness at that time, it will be worthless if you are not worthless in just one or two years.
3. During the deployment stage, professionals must do the process on site. Many cases have reported that some non-operation parameter setting errors occur, which leads to problems with the entire linkage. Can major problems such as poor connection of various modules occur?
4. Pay attention to later maintenance and update some old software and hardware frequently. It is best to have a stable maintenance plan and backup. It’s like the server’s data is lost or failed. The backup exists and then restores it to complete. Is there a lot of problems like old-fashioned problems after a few years without regular maintenance?
Well, to the end, my personal opinion is that we should advocate more and implement this concept at present. In the future, the construction industry will inevitably move towards intelligence and greenness. It will greatly improve the environmental factors such as our daily work and life, and save a lot of unnecessary expenses in the long run, making the entire environment more conducive to health and saving resources. It is not underestimated.
