1) Smart home technologies can help achieve sustainability through design by enabling monitoring and control of energy consumption and supply in homes.
2) Features like mood lighting, automatic controls, and an "all-off" button can reduce energy usage while providing user-friendly benefits.
3) Including smart home technologies in all projects ensures each small development contributes to the larger goal of sustainability, just as Mother Teresa's work was a small drop that added up.

A modern residential installation with an IHSLeonardo ENERGY
This white paper is one of a series of thematic white papers covering various aspects of electrical installations in houses, flats and residential units. They are aimed at architects, designers, specification writers, decision makers and students.
Over time, the electrical installation in our houses and apartments has changed. Originally there was a single lighting point in each room with a switch and a socket near the door. Then, over the years, more and more electrical appliances came onto the market and, pretty soon, the electrical installation became too small to accommodate them. Expansion with more lighting points, switches and sockets was necessary, followed by the possibilities of dimmer switches, time switches, automated stair lighting and motion detectors.
Nevertheless, the basic structure of the traditional electrical installation remained the same, but with certain disadvantages. Flexibility is non-existent, and functionality is extremely impaired: two important aspects we need today and in the future. The functions required by a young couple employed outside the home and who have children will differ from those of an elderly person living alone. These days we are much less static in the home. Doing a different job often means moving to a different place so the electrical installation must have the flexibility to satisfy our changing needs.
Today, opting for a modern electrical installation with an Integrated Home System (IHS) is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Our cars, televisions, telephones (especially smartphones) and heating systems are all already digitised to an advanced degree. It is therefore time to turn our attention to the buildings in which we live and spend most of our time. We have reached a pivotal point where the traditional electrical installation is at its end and the obvious choice is to replace it with a modern, contemporary installation with sufficient functionality and flexibility. We are at the dawn of a new era.

Smart Living India - A Whitepaper on Consumer Insights & Industry ReadinessIET India
This white paper is a ‘micro perspective’ in that subject area of “Smart living”. A typical urban Indian has his phone with him right from the moment he wakes up with the first sip of tea to the moment he switches off the lights for bedtime. The home internet of things revolution is the next inevitable wave
of disruption but it needs an impetus by way of product innovation, industry collaboration and consumer-centric design thinking.
Advocating a more flexible home electricity installationLeonardo ENERGY
Today, most newly built or renovated private houses are still equipped with a rather simple electricity installation, providing not much more than a series of light points, switches and power outlets throughout the building. While this so-called base case electricity installation is very robust and safe, it is being challenged by the ever increasing expectations of 21st century homeowners and occupants. Examples of increased expectations include flexible space usage, networking capabilities, automation, remote control of HVAC and other electricity powered equipment, and adaptability of the system to meet changing needs.
In this whitepaper we outline the challenges presented to the base case electricity installation and provide a guideline for installers to help them meet the increased expectations. Aspects discussed include a gradual shift towards automation-enabled systems and an activity-centred approach of installation design. We encourage installers to grasp this opportunity and become advocates of a more flexible home electricity installation. This is also in their own interest, as it is likely to make their work more interesting, satisfying and rewarding.
The whitepaper is based on interviews with a number of home electricity system installers and representatives of electric systems manufacturers ABB, Abitana, Legrand Group, Niko and Siemens. In addition, we organized five workshops with these manufacturers and with organizations such as Tecnolec, Enter vzw and CeDuBo[i]. In this whitepaper, the participants at the interviews and workshops are referred to as ‘our expert panel’.

Introduction
We are currently in the age of information- knowledge is power. Everything
around us is driven by data, so why aren’t our homes? Our cellular phones know where
we are and provide information, recommendation and directions for us but why aren’t our
homes? Technology has been growing and consumer are feeding off of new innovations
such as artificial intelligence and vehicle automation but yet smart home automation has
remained stagnate for years. While there are some companies that provide smart home
automation services, no one provides a true smart automated house that informs you on
your energy consumption or provides feedback on how to save on your energy
consumption. Net Zero homes has been the closest to providing energy efficient homes,
no house on the market is truly “smart” in regards to being able to control your individual
light switches, individual baseboard heaters or heat pumps, ovens, etc. This would be
done by installing an innovated electrical panel that would be similar to the hard drive of
a computer and all of the elements of the house could be controlled separately through a
software or on your smart phone. Our company, Smart Home Systems will provide
consumers the ability to control their homes and reduce energy consumption by the tip of
your fingertips, at home or on the other side of the world.
Market Research
Due to unpredictable climatic consequences of floods, Canadians have diverted their
interest towards adopting smart and secure home automation systems, seeking innovative
solutions. The revenue generated from the Canadian smart home market presently sums
up to US$ 944MM. This revenue is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 19.9% and is
expected to rise to US$ 1952MM by the year 2022. The penetration in the household
market is estimated to be of 13.9% in the current year. This household penetration rate is

Best Practices for a Flexible and Functional Residential Electrical InstallationLeonardo ENERGY
Over the years, the demand for flexible and functional electrical installations for houses and apartments has grown on a daily basis. Changing living conditions and habits, evolving housing needs, the availability of new technologies and the awareness of the importance of efficient energy use provide the impetus for an in-depth analysis of the electrical installation.
Classic electrical installations are no longer the world standard. They no longer provide a satisfactory answer to the multitude of demands from end users for flexibility and functionality. An installation that can adapt at any time to the changing needs of the residents, expanded with customized functions that can lead to, among other things, lower energy consumption and greater ease of use, safety and care components, is now the obvious choice.

“A common
feature of all
systems today
is the all-off
button”
I
n the closing years of her life Mother
Teresa reflected on her work,
acknowledging that it “was just a drop
in the ocean”. However, she continued
with: “But if the drop were not there, the
ocean would be missing something.” This
rather poignant testimony to her valuable
work sets the scene for how we should
establish long-term sustainability.
In the trade we are forever bombarded
with large-scale government and industry
strategies for sustainability and cost
savings, but let us not forget that each of
these only constitute one part of an ocean
made up of many drops, each of which
can make a valuable contribution.
If we are to wholly embrace
sustainability for the duration, then grand
schemes and ideas must be translated
to even the smallest of developments,
be that the domestic home, the office
development, or the hotel and leisure
complex. The use of smart home
technologies provides the perfect platform
for the delivery of life-time cost savings
through sustainability.
Sustainability by design:
smart home technologies
Will Hopkins, a social entrepreneur, legal scholar, and a director at Your Smart Home,
sets out the value of designing smart home technology into each development
homes is rather broad, from automatic
bathing solutions controlled via your
iPhone, to mood lighting and home
cinemas. These are generally things that
the end user requires. Whilst each of them
may carry energy saving characteristics, it
is not here where the true sustainability of
intelligent home design comes in.
Smart home sustainability lies in the
backbone of home control. One supplier
puts it like this: “Think of an electrical
installation that simplifies your life. An
installation that gives you full access
to your home. One that makes your
home safer and monitors your energy
consumption with just one touch of a
button, allowing you to take good care of
your family, yourself, your budget, and the
environment.”
It is this basic change to electrical
installations that can make the biggest
difference. One can make the comparison
between our homes and cars - another
area where economy is crucial. If we
look at cars over the last 20 years, the
technology has moved on massively;
ABS, power steering, climate control
etc. Our cars are used for commuting
in, not living in (though it may seem that
way to some). It seems strange that our
homes, the places where we live with our
families, have not undergone the same
improvement.
Sustainability through design
Sustainability does not have to involve
compromise. Smart homes are primarily
based around users’ needs and wants,
though this has not precluded many
green aspects. Take, for instance, a basic
lighting system in a smart home. This
system is likely to have many user-friendly
features such as illuminated keypads
and iPhone-based control. However,
the mood lighting features that it offers
instantly reduce energy consumption.
Much of the system would likely be based
on low energy lighting, in some cases
using LEDs. Moreover, a common feature
of all systems today is the “all-off button”.
Appearing both on keypads and iPhones,
it enables the user to instantly turn off all
lights in the house. Those readers with
teenage children will instantly see the
utility of such a feature.
Furthermore, with all systems going
though a control module, it enables the
easy monitoring of energy consumption
and supply, so end users can see both
what they are using and what they are
feeding back in to the grid (if they have
a solar installation, for example.) This
can be presented on a simple display
in the house that details consumption
in cost terms and allows year-on-year
comparison.
By including smart home technologies
in the design of our projects, we ensure
that each of the drops can make a
valuable contribution in the ocean of
sustainability.

Home control
Smart home technologies are not new;
most modern properties contain some
form of automation. Thermostatically
controlled central heating is a basic
example with obvious energy saving
benefits. The new buzz word of “home
control” represents the next step in
the process, through the creation of
intelligent homes. Indeed, while labeled
“home” control, the same technology and
systems apply to both the commercial
and industrial sectors too.
The scope of these intelligent smart
