Normal buildings consume a lot of energy and waste energy, causing issues like global warming and pollution. They may lose power during outages without backup sources. Smart buildings consume much less energy at high efficiency through optimization of structure, systems, services and management. The document proposes converting a university building into a smart building using solar panels and control systems to reduce energy consumption and provide alternative power during outages. A critical path analysis and evaluation matrix find solar energy and control systems to be viable solutions. Converting to a smart building would save energy and money while enhancing safety and security.
