Nearly quarter of a century back, the idea of intelligent building had surfaced. In the past 15 years or so, the idea evolved into smart buildings, thanks to breakthrough technologies. Today, the definition of 'Smart Buildings' has acquired new dimensions due to changing lifestyle, increasing awareness on energy efficiency, rapid urbanization and security concerns.
As India moves towards achieving its 100 Smart City goal, embracing technologies to achieve green, safe and productive environment will become the means for an increase in the demand for smart buildings.
Smart buildings employ communication and automation technologies to integrate different building subsystems, which enhance the quality of human life while ensuring the overall energy efficiency and security of the building infrastructure.
These sub-systems including HVAC, Lighting, Fire Protection, Access Control Systems, Surveillance, Smart Meters, Water, UPS, Elevators, etc. share information to optimize the performance of the building.
One of the biggest challenges, when it comes to making buildings smart on a large scale, is to integrate various systems with the latest generation of smart building equipment. This underlines the role of a system integrator who understands, deploys and integrates technologies like communication network, automation systems, and IT platforms that are critical components of any Smart Building with an objective to minimize operational cost in the long run.
We, at C&A, understand these challenges. Being a part of the L&T Electrical & Automation Group, we draw on the extensive domain and technical experience of working with customers in the infrastructure sector. This helps us to offer Integrated ELV system along with Building Management system and helps enhance customer experience while ensuring a greener environment.
In keeping with C&A's unparalleled offerings of unique solutions and commitment to technology, we have covered our offering of ELV Systems which addresses every single need of Building infrastructure. We are credited with many significant achievements in this segment. A case study on ELV solutions to a Data Center client throws some lights on our capabilities in this area.
