Latin America. The advancement of technology has brought many changes, which has also been implemented in the real estate sector with intelligent buildings, in which several automated devices included in the structure can be controlled through computerized systems.
Safety systems and sustainability are characteristics that are also part of these buildings. Thus, the occupants of the buildings can customize some characteristics of these devices to create a more comfortable environment, in addition to saving time and money.
To mitigate the impact in case of earthquakes, dampers are used that try to absorb the impact of the seismic wave so that the building moves as little as possible.
For buildings to be self-sufficient, they must have a rainwater harvesting system that serves the entire building or wastewater treatment plants, with a biodegradable system and filters to reuse water in toilets and garden irrigation.
Also, they use tempered glass that in winter generates heat while in summer they cool the interior of the environment, in order to reduce the use of air conditioning, which represent between 40% and 65% of the expenses of a building.
