The effectiveness of the Smart Office system

Abstract

The capabilities of the Smart Office system allow you to control lighting, climate, safety in the building, as well as the work process as a whole. To assess the effectiveness of investments in the Smart Office system, the net present value, profitability index and payback period were calculated. The calculations showed that the implementation of the smart office system is an expensive, but justified in terms of energy efficiency and economy. As a result of the calculation, it was found that the cost of the system, taking into account the annual increase in utility tariffs by 7% and the increase in the discount rate by 9%, will pay off in 6 years, and the costs will begin to save money during the operation of the building.
