About Entelec
A smart building is a building that is able to provide added value for its inhabitants. This is a very general, but important definition as it focuses on the fact that a building is never built to just stand there, it’s built to be used, by its inhabitants. In many cases, a building consists of a lot of separate systems that are not able to communicate with each other. Some of the more typical systems are HVAC, electricity, fire safety, intrusion and burglary prevention, CCTV, lighting, PC networks and so on. An important aspect to keep in mind is comfort. Most of the systems in a building are focused, again, on the user. In most cases, smart building management has the goal on making the use of said building more efficient and comfortable. Transforming buildings into their smart version, is actually really easy: just connect everything. OK, practically it’s not really that simple of course, but that is actually what happens to smart buildings.
