Towards Sustainability in Buildings: a Case Study on the Impacts of Smart Home Automation Systems

Worldwide with the rapid developments in technology and with the huge evolution in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, society has been seeking to improve efficiency, energy savings, green technology, and environmental sustainability in their everyday lives at home. Accordingly, Smart Home Automation Systems (SHAS) are growing in popularity. A home automation system is a technical solution that combines hardware and software technologies to control and manage most electronic, electrical, and technology-based tasks to be automated. SHAS can work with local networking or remotely. This research aims to find out the sustainable impacts of SHAS by conducting a real assessment case study after using (Loxone system) in one villa in UAE. In conclusion, SHAS will help people practice sustainability and provide value-added to our lifestyle with positive impacts. Integrating SHAS with AI will help to get systems that can adapt the embedded routines to achieve successful utilization.
