A smart building with integrated energy management: Steps toward the creation of a smart city

Abstract

This study was conducted the 7-story building in Jakarta, Indonesia and was selected as a research sample. The study aimed to enhancing smart buildings' energy management. Descriptive and analytical methods were used in this study. Analyzing the building's materials (Facade stone, cement sand mortar, Leca block, gypsum and soil mortar, gypsum soft with thermal resistance of 0.41 and heat capacity of 4.5), windows, and energy consumption, it was determined that the lighting sector consumes the most energy. Maximum energy consumption reduction in residential buildings occurs in the lighting sector, and the smart management system cuts residential energy consumption by up to 37%. In addition to providing security and peace of mind, system features such as alarms for natural and abnormal occurrences may also give safety. With the integration of smart management systems in residential buildings, such as security control devices, seismic controllers, imaging controllers, fire alarm systems, and fire extinguishing systems, building resilience will be increased. With the assistance of an smart management system, a reduction in energy consumption of between 20% and 27% will be accomplished.
