In this context, the demand for urban space will continue to grow-according to the data of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 55% of the global population lives in urban areas, and it is predicted that this proportion will increase to 68% by 2050.
So, how to meet this demand without compromising sustainability?
Since cities and their buildings currently account for 65% of the global energy demand, the development of smart cities is regarded as the key way to meet the climate challenge. Modern cities need an intelligent combination of data, people and technology to create inclusive and sustainable solutions.
Therefore, intelligent building plays an increasingly important role in the development of smart cities, and is widely regarded as an important tool to meet many challenges we face today and in the future, including achieving zero network goals, security and the need for greater interoperability.
The integration of artificial intelligence and internet of things technology is very important for intelligent building system to make people safer and more secure, and at the same time support the goal of saving energy and protecting our community.
Therefore, today's architecture is very important for the development of smart cities-truly sustainable cities, cleaner transportation, optimized resources including water and energy, and more intelligent buildings and infrastructure that can meet the basic needs of human beings such as safety, comfort and connectivity.
Towards a Smart and Sustainable Future
Intelligent building technology has been ensuring that buildings and families consume energy more effectively. Architecture is a complex system, involving the circulation of air, water and electricity. Therefore, the use of intelligent sensors and technologies based on the Internet of Things will help to ensure the clean and efficient delivery of these resources.
However, this is not only the use of new technologies-optimizing intelligent thinking and existing buildings is also a key factor to accelerate the sustainable development of smart cities around the world.
By upgrading old buildings to smarter buildings, smart communities will appear in cities, which will further promote the development of smart communities and even smart cities. Therefore, when expanding your vision of a smart city from scratch, intelligent building is indeed the most basic building block.
Connectivity and interoperability are key to reducing emissions.
By using artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to connect buildings, transportation and infrastructure, we can create a new ecosystem, which can rely more on renewable energy, minimize energy waste and greatly reduce carbon emissions.
For example, buildings consume 30% of global energy and emit 40% of global carbon. Due to the integration of the Internet of Things (with sensors, intelligent data and cloud computing) and artificial intelligence, we now have buildings that talk to us, the cloud and each other to protect us and make us feel comfortable, while saving energy and reducing emissions.
For example, in Hanoi, a densely populated and rapidly developing city, intelligent buildings are very important. The Viettel building in Hanoi adopts ABB technology, which can save up to 20% of energy costs while ensuring a comfortable and safe working environment.
The future of the city is intelligent.
Intelligent buildings unimaginable decades ago have now become a reality, which is very important for the sustainable development and success of smart cities.
From home and office to transportation and public utilities, 20021will be the year when smart cities begin to take shape, because the progress of internet of things and artificial intelligence will combine smart buildings, smart grid and electric vehicle charging to form a new intelligent social ecosystem, which is becoming more and more interconnected and efficient.
