A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
What once could be considered an idea straight out of science fiction, home automation can revolutionize the efficiency and functioning of the domicile. Similar to the integration of digital means in cities, a similar practice can be applied to the home. While full-digital residential systems can cost upward of US$5000, they can potentially reduce utility costs for decades once implemented. This chapter reviews the five most common contemporary axes of home automation technology to include irrigation management, automated lighting, smart power adapters, and intelligent thermostats.
