3. What are Smart buildings??
• Deliver useful building services that make
occupants productive at lowest cost and
environmental impact on building lifecycle.
• Smart building is
Integrated
Intelligent
Automated
High performance
Designed for longevity
4. SMART WINDOWS
• glass or glazing whose light transmission
properties are altered when voltage, light or
heat is applied. Generally, the glass changes
from translucent to transparent changing from
blocking some (or all) wavelengths of light to
letting light pass through.
5. SMART SHADE
1. controls the amount of sunlight passing into a building's interior
a. With the help of sensors
6. SMART SHADE
b. With the help of complex alloys
2.controls the level of carbon
dioxide in a room
7. SMART CONCRETE
Can sense the stress and
strain applied on it.
Made as a sensor by the
addition of carbon fibres or
carbon nano tubes.
8. CEILINGS
• Anti microbial ceilings
• Destabilise the cell membrane
• Inhibit critical enzymes
• DNA interruption
ROOFING
•Building-integrated
Photo Voltaic (BIPV)
•Mono crystalline silicon,
polycrystalline silicon and thin
film silicon (using amorphous
silicon)
10. • Monthly expenses comes around $1600
• Reduction by 40-50%
• Hospital infections are adding $5 billion every year to US national
healthcare costs
• The study showed a 95.8 % reduction in microbial growth
11. SMART BRICKS
SMART AIR BRICKS
Smart brick for
controlling
lego-vehicle
Bricks stuffed with sensors, signal processors and
wireless communication links warning about
hidden stresses, or damage in the aftermath of
natural calamities like earthquakes, storms or
hurricanes.
A "smart brick" that could
monitor building's health and
save lives.
A sample of smart
concrete using electrical
properties as an ideal
sensor of stress, weight
and vibration.

15. CONCLUSION
• Longevity
• Energy efficiency
• Comfort and satisfaction
• Utilize new technology
• Reducing man power
• Advanced control systems
16. TAKE HOME POINTS
• Smart buildings are automated.
• Senses indoor and outdoor activities and
react in most efficient way.
• 45% energy efficient.
• Reduction in pollution 30%.
• Reduction of waste.
In age of technology, believing in every out of box imagination is valid because technical wonders can make that thing really happen’
It Hosey's Smart Shade employs the thermodynamics of zinc and steel to control the amount of sunlight passing into a building's interior. Yang and Benjamin's Living Glass uses elastic shape memory alloy (SMA) wires to control the level of carbon dioxide in a room.
The blind consists of a composite layer of zinc and steel, two metals with different thermal tendencies. Expansion and contraction of these sandwiched materials in response to temperature cause the blinds to curl up in winter (allowing more sunlight in) and curve down in summer (allowing less).

STATS
1.Smart bricks allows air to pass through but not water
2. Built into a wall, the brick could monitor a building’s temperature, vibration and movement. Such information could be vital to firefighters battling a blazing skyscraper, or to rescue workers ascertaining the soundness of an earthquake-damaged structure
1.In its first experiment in net-zero stores, Walgreen is combining several clean energy technologies, which it plans to extend to many of its 8,000 stores.
The first net-zero store, in Evanston, Ill., will get renewable energy from solar, wind and geothermal, along with extremely efficient refrigerators, LED lights and green building materials.
2.Solar panels, wind energy
