In the previous article, we reviewed many specifications and methods of operating smart buildings, whether residential, commercial or administrative, and we knew together how artificial intelligence has become a necessity as it can save energy and improve the level of management and operation of the building, and today we clarify some additional facts. The first of these facts is that the intended intelligence is the intelligence of the devices in the building and not the intelligence of the building, through the use of the Internet of Things technology, the devices communicate with each other and receive operating commands via the Internet and mobile applications to provide comfort, time and energy, which represents a large percentage of operating expenses.

The more modern technology is used in the design and operation of buildings, the greater the benefits for the owner and the user to reduce the emission of gases harmful to the environment that cause the temperature to rise around the world and thus avoid many risks that may lead to climate change and the environmental map together.

Buildings.

Engineering design methods for smart buildings:

We used to have the structural engineer design the building in terms of concrete bases and columns with a study of heights and loads, then the architect receives the building file to design the facade according to the architectural specifications to match the structural design, now the design of smart buildings needs an integrated team, so the architect participates in its design both structural and mechanical engineers and all specialists in the design of various building components, and this can be defined as comprehensive design, and 3D plans must be drawn and the building must be implemented digitally before it is actually built in order to ensure the success of the operating systems.

Risks of smart buildings: Reliance on modern technology

The use of the Internet to control the building's devices exposes the entire system to hackers, and in the case of smart homes, hackers may be able to obtain the personal information of the residents and may even be able to open the doors when the owners are absent and steal the contents of the house. Relying on technology and artificial intelligence has become a reality and necessary to keep pace with the development the world is witnessing in order to progress towards the future, and as for the risks, science is capable of facing and overcoming them.
