CASE STUDY

Intelligent houses and intelligent towns are no longer the potential prospects – now and

tomorrow are the real issues of smart building integrity. The construction of intelligent buildings

improves the idea of intelligent towns. It encourages sustainable development and the economy

and increases the quality of life of all people who are sensitive to global sustainability

challenges. The creative, intelligent building and intelligent city technologies enable us to

address these obstacles, using all project development phases in real estate. The authors'

assessment framework for real estate development in Smart Cities offers an opportunity to

evaluate the current RE project incorporation and the prediction of potential RE projects in Smart

Cities over the entire life cycle.

The comparative case study highlighted the functional use of the current assessment

system. Based on the inclusion of smart buildings into the smart urban planning assessment

process, ten real estate developments have been evaluated and rating in Lithuania and around the

world by selected standards for various phases of real estate development. The evaluation results

showed that the current intelligence of RE projects and cities is not adequate, particularly in the

design and development phases. Though immobilization programs are technical advances,

penetration into intelligent city networks is constrained by the interoperability of the

communities or the various strategic objectives of the development company.

The key goal of this analysis is to present the assessment process for the implementation

of smart immovables in smart cities and to explore how the capacity of a smart city is used in all

phases of immovable development projects in Lithuania and around the world.

FUNCTIONALITY

This new and intelligent structure links and incorporates heterogeneous devices,

applications, and information for use into a central perspective that reduces energy and costs in

the utilization of services such as heating/cooling, power supplies, water, and other utilities. In

this holistic approach, the sensors and systems designed originally for other purposes can also

contribute efficiently towards constructing a smart building, capable of generating data and

sharing it among systems to increase the reliability and productivity of the entire community.

The independent, intelligent structure is a secret sauce for creating an intelligent city. The

strategic chess elements that form the basis of our genuinely smart cities are autonomous smart

buildings. We have to look at the whole city chessboard and its moving parts to learn how our

buildings blend into intelligent cities. Cities' emergency climate plans, city data plans, common

cyber protection infrastructure need to be understood. Countrywide municipalities have joined

together to establish the OMF (Open Mobility Foundation) to promote open-source software that

offers flexible mobility solutions to cities.

With the development of digital technology, new technologies and data sources provide

further ways for buildings to exploit. The idea of using technologies to enhance our towns and

buildings is not fresh, but different is that IoT allows us to connect more and more computers

that have not yet been paired.

However, we are dealing with the use of emerging technologies; intelligent thinking and

optimizing existing buildings are core elements for accelerating the growth of intelligent cities

worldwide. As part of the transition to smarter cities, ABB works actively with cities and utilities

to achieve greater efficiency in the current networks and develop unified attractive public

services. Older buildings will use IoT technology to make full use of the data they produce and

adapt how they work.

TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION

The Smart Cities Mission's strategic components of regional planning are community

enhancement, city renovation, and urban development, plus a pan-city plan to implement Smart

Solutions covering broader areas of the city. Therefore, the Smart Cities mission's objective is to

foster economic development and improve people's quality of life through the use and use of

technology in the local region, in particular technology that leads to Smart results. To improve

the city's life, area-based construction, including slum areas, would become better developed.

New areas around cities will be built.

In Hanoi, Vietnam, we will find another brilliant example of intelligent city technology in

the motion of smart buildings. Viettel Group aims to meet its green targets as part of the

initiative, a Vietnamese multinational telecommunications provider. Viettel aimed to see its

Hanoi headquarters as a sign of innovation and as a benchmark to most of its buildings

worldwide. A variety of intelligent building technologies is supplied to meet the high demand for

clean, intelligent, and wired workplaces.

In terms of smart city buildings now and the future, from protection and safety to comfort

and power, developing a whole environment where everything is linked and interoperable must

be the main goal. The combination of all intelligent building elements in one simple-to-use

device, which effectively drives energy conservation and lowers running expenses, from door

entrance to emergency lights, and exploits the power of the Sun through solar power.

Combined solar energy, intelligent energy storage, and a highly productive cogeneration

system have proved sufficient capacity to power the whole plant, saving huge quantities of CO2

in ABB's subsidiary Busch-Jaeger in Lüdenscheid. In its first year, the CO2-neutral facility

produced 1,100 MWh, which was enough to meet 100% of the plant's power needs on a sunny

day. It also lowered CO2 emissions from the site by approximately 680 tons per year in the

development of smart buildings.
