Increasing problems of climate change, rising temperature, global warming and increasing carbon footprints, can be largely attributed to the manner in which built environment is being planned, designed, constructed and created . Considering the role, relevance and importance, buildings need to be made more environmentally sustainable; economically vibrant/ productive and physically better place to live and work. Making built environment more productive, sustainable and inclusive, calls for looking into and exploring the innovative options of; Rationalizing and redefining the process of planning, designing, constructing and maintaining the buildings; Making built environment energy/resource efficient and environment friendly; mitigating heat island, making buildings safe against natural and manmade disasters. In order to make building supportive of environment and ecology ;buildings have to be made sustainable, smart and intelligent, so that agenda to make buildings vibrant and least consumer of energy/resources /generator of waste.

75. Valuable Solutions
• 1.Smart lighting solutions-- use sensors to turn lights on or off in line with occupancy.
--integrated with automated blinds or daylight sensors to maximize levels of natural
light and reduce lighting costs-. In a commercial smart building, the intelligent lighting
solution would be programmed to minimize non-safety lighting outside normal
business hours. In a multi-unit residential smart building, lighting would only be
adjusted in public or common areas in line with ambient light conditions or safety and
security requirements. Some multi-unit buildings might also provide smart building IoT
solutions for individual units.
• 2.Smart HVAC-- systems automate control of heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems--, adjusting temperatures in line with occupancy levels,--
prevailing temperatures and weather forecasts to manage energy consumption and
ensure a comfortable environment.
• 3. Smart windows lighten or darken in response to the intensity of sunlight intensity
can help reduce the load on lighting and HVAC systems and reduce glare.
• 4. Meeting room booking systems-- synchronize room management systems with
employees’ calendars, internal meeting schedules and planned customer visits to give
facility managers full visibility of space availability. Integrating booking systems with
smart environmental controls and access control ensures that light, air conditioning
and heating systems are only active when a room is occupied, and that only those who
have booked a space are able to access the building.
• 5. Desk management software is essential for hybrid offices where demand for
workspaces varies from day to day. Employees can book workspaces in advance for
planned visits or search for vacant desks if they have to make an unexpected visit.
Integrated with intelligent access control, this IoT building automation only allows entry
on the days and times of an approved reservation.
• 6.Preventative maintenance systems use powerful analytics and artificial
intelligence on system data to detect abnormal patterns in system performance and
issue maintenance alerts. Facility management staff can remediate problems before
they can cause outages or downtime, supported by smart building software and smart
building apps which can help provide additional information on system performance
