Abstract

The feasibility of smart homes is becoming more realistic as smart home technologies and wireless capabilities mature, alongside greater internet availability. To explore this topic, we created a research study in order to understand the present state of smart home technologies and their impacts on the user, the environment, and the sustainability market. Our study reviewed academic journals, government records, and websites. Study results suggest that basic automated building controls can save 10-15% of energy use in commercial buildings; this potential energy savings from smart buildings is significant.
