SMART eco-Home concept.







SMART eco-Home® may not yet be a term that is commonly heard presently, it refers to houses with centralized control of energy for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, access control, power supply generation and storage, water supply, communication networking, security system and so on via a network. As networking demands increase, eco-friendly networking, wired connectivity products become more important and similarly IT supporting software and hardware.
The SMART eco-Home® concept have some similarity to the Enterprise Information System where within the house itself there are many sub system controlling within the house for comfort, security and communication. Externally the house are connected to other house to communicate and transfer of power supply when there is excess of energy and importing of energy when power shortage happens.
For the future when petroleum resources are scares for power generation and nuclear energy generation are limited, it will become essential to strive for implementation of SMART eco-Home® capabilities into homes as an aspect of smart grid. This will bring about a variety of advantages, resource saving due to more eco-friendly and greener homes and more rationalized management through a more efficient energy control system via centralise control and networked community.
Looking at Japan presently after the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami incident, 54 nuclear generators was shut down leaving a few Gegawatts of power supply shortage. The Japanese citizens have to face power supply outages at certain times to conserve the energy. By implementing SMART eco-Home® in Fukushima area, homes could generate their own power supply, they can continue to use air conditioner during summer and heater during winter without depending into the power supply from the utility company.
Realization of SMART eco-Home® starts from the concept, design drawing board, regulation, promotion of ideas, investment, management of system, maintenance, security and for sure the demand for IT products and trained expertise. The realization of SMART eco-Home® through a variety of solutions, smart community will be a dream come through.
