Smart homes are the future, as home automation can, among other things, manage energy very efficiently, which is a great benefit both for the planet and for our pockets.
The combination of the two
main trends in the home is the perfect match to follow. Following a green
lifestyle and immersing yourself in a connected home is a combination that
works great inside the home.
For some time, architects have
implemented various sustainable solutions when planning the architectural
design of homes and have been looking for technology designers who develop
smart home devices, considered the IoT (Internet of Things), to integrate these
products for potential and future customers.
A smart green home is an
efficient approach that combines calmness, fresh air, interaction with nature
and the satisfaction of being environmentally friendly. But it also supports us
save a lot on our energy bills.
In short, these homes have
lighting, electronic devices that we can control remotely. Smart home devices
work together with other home devices, interacting with each other: ovens,
washing machines, refrigerators, security systems, computers, smartphones . all within the same framework aimed at sustaining the operation of the home
environmentally.
What is a smart green home
like?
Smart home automation can help us reduce energy consumption in our home and thus make it more environmentally friendly. Fortunately, there are more and more technologies available for these homes today and in the future.
The most popular of these are:
temperature control, with which we can reduce our carbon footprint (we can regulate
the temperature with a mobile phone, so if, for example, we are on vacation and
forget to adjust the thermostat, we can do it remotely without problems );
lighting or lighting using smart LED lamps to adjust indoor and outdoor
lighting as needed and schedule the lights to turn on only when we are at home
(we can also turn off the lights remotely if we forgot to turn off the lamp);
smart windows, with which we can also reduce the HVAC energy consumption (HHE,
heating, V Ventilation, ventilation, air conditioning, air conditioning) at
home, which allows us to keep cool in summer and warm in winter, with more
energy efficient treatment (for example, by the ability to program the lowering
of curtains or blinds at a certain time of the day); smart irrigation that will
save thousands of liters of water (and euros) per year. We can set up the
system from any internet-connected device and automatically set up a watering
program when rain is detected. This is very beneficial and will likely reduce
water consumption for this purpose by about 35%.
All of these devices are
designed to make our lives easier, offer comfort and give our pockets a break,
making our smart home more environmentally friendly.
With global warming and
climate change on the rise, it is vital to have an ecological mindset and be
consistent in our actions. Awareness of the need to preserve natural resources
and the environment has become an urgent need, and each of them can contribute
to energy conservation by creating an ecological and technological space that
meets all our needs.
