The challenge
Automation systems play a fundamental role as a binder of all applications within a house or building, and as a connection with the outside for the reception of services.
The challenge is to coordinate the standardization tasks of all applications and services, complying with the requirements of electrical safety and interoperability. If this is achieved, the Smart Building will be a reality and a fundamental part of the Smart City.
