The smart building refers to the structure where all the control operations including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and security among others are controlled by the automated processes. A smart building uses microchips, actuators, and sensors for collecting and managing data as per the requirement. Smart building infrastructure helps owners, operators and facility managers to improve the performance and reliability of the assets, which efficiently uses the spaces, reduces energy uses and subsequently minimizes the environmental impact of buildings. The smart buildings make the residents more comfortable with lighting, thermal comfort; air quality, physical security, and sanitation. Various types of facilities are incorporated into a smart building, which includes video surveillance system, access control system, emergency management system, energy management platform, have control system, lighting control system, parking management system, smart water management system, and elevators and escalators management system. In addition, various types of services are provided by the global players for the accomplishment of a smart building project such as consulting, system integration, deployment, support, and maintenance services. Apart from these, smart buildings have applications across commercial buildings, residential buildings, government & public infrastructure facilities, educational institutions and others.

Market Dynamics
