AI systems for smart green homes
As the world shifts towards a sustainable way of life; the demand for green, eco-friendly homes has become indispensable. Green homes are designed with environmentally conscious features, an important step towards creating a marked low impact when it comes to energy consumption and conservation of resources. While most green homes are adopting primary modes of conservation such as installation of solar panels and energy efficient devices, the advent of smart AI capabilities has created a symbiotic association that combines the green home movement with that of innovative AI tools.
Here are 5 ways AI tools can make your green home, a smart one as well:
- Not just energy conservation but also, management
AI based temperature control is one of the most innovative ways to manage energy consumption at home. Smart thermostats and energy management systems contribute significantly by studying a household’s energy usage patterns and making real time adjustments in accordance to the same.
A smart temperature control system for example, would adjust temperatures based on the time of day, occupancy and external weather conditions. The same technique can also be applied to smart lighting as well.
- Not just monitoring maintenance, but predicting it
The heart of a home is made up of its HVAC units, plumbing and electrical set ups. Keeping a track of the wear and tear of these units is resource intensive and serious issues that crop up without warning can also cause a major financial strain. The solution lies with AI driven predictive maintenance systems that can help in anticipating issues before they become a major concern.
By monitoring the condition of key appliances and systems, AI can analyze and identify inefficiencies, predict lifespans, thereby reducing costly repairs and unnecessary wastage.
- Not just reduction of water usage, but also recycling it
Smart water systems are the need of the hour. Apart from detecting leaks, AI sensors can also analyze inefficiencies and detect overuse. Some smart water systems go the extra mile to integrate weather forecast based watering schedules to prevent overwatering in case of heavy rainfall.
AI systems can also help with greywater recycling. Greywater is waste water that is collected from sinks, showers and washing machines. This water can be recycled for non-potable uses such as irrigation or flushes in toilets.
- Not just smart appliances, but also aids in waste reduction
AI systems are now playing an increasingly important role in optimized waste management for household appliances. AI powered washing machines and dishwashers can optimize water and energy usage thereby reducing the environmental impact brought about by household chores.
Smart refrigerators can conduct stored food inventories, track expiration dates and even suggest recipes based on ingredients close to expiry to help reduce food wastage.
- Not countless devices but a single interface
While the capabilities of AI tech is wide in scope and devices are available aplenty; efficient usage can be brought down to a single interface. Smart platforms such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home tie various green tech together seamlessly to create an integrated system that is effortless and uncomplicated to operate.
These integrated systems can skillfully control a home’s energy usage, water consumption and waste management from one location. Valuable insights regarding maintenance, efficiency and tips for improvement will also be provided, allowing home owners to take informed decisions with regard to their home upkeep.
The pivotal role that AI has played in making green homes an achievable reality needs reiteration. Our green homes project, Be.i (Be earth intelligent), aims at optimizing energy usage, reducing resource usage and predicting system failures. With attractive amenities, nature centric location and tech forward systems, Be.i will be a milestone in green construction. We at B&M Infra are ready for a sustainable future that is both technologically advanced and environmentally conscious. Are you?
