Smart Home Concept at the Design Stage of Engineering Systems in the Construction of Economy Class Apartment Buildings

Abstract

At present, the construction market of apartment buildings in the Moscow region is in an active transformation phase. The use of modern technologies has increased the volume of housing construction and reduced the time of commissioning new facilities. With the growing number of proposals in the real estate market, the demand for new buildings remains high. At the same time, buyers' requirements for the quality of housing have changed significantly. Today's potential apartment buyer pays attention not only to its basic characteristics and price per one square meter. One of the modern selection criteria is the availability of modern engineering systems, high-tech equipment in residential complexes, allowing to make living in such houses more comfortable and safe, as well as save energy when forming utility bills. The author conducted a study of the complex equipment of apartment buildings with "smart home" (SH) system, showed the main advantages of using various subsystems of SH, formulated proposals that can make more affordable SH technology for ordinary residents. These activities will also allow developers to adjust the approaches to the planning and implementation of their projects for the next 5-7 years to meet modern market requirements.
