Smart Office
Smart Office or Office Automation. What exactly is it?
When it comes to talking about Office Automation. People think about managing Electrical and Electronics using some kind of single devices. But Office Automation is just not about managing the whole office from a single console but making optimum use of Electricals and Electricity. There should be ways to measure your electric consumption and manage your usage accordingly.
Office Automation starts with designing a Smart office. This Smart relates to design but not automation. When someone buy’s a new office and asks the Architect to design the office. The Architect must have a team who not only are good designers aesthetically but technologically too. Businesses must understand that they should not build just a good looking office but a good performing office.
There are ways to measure requirement and consumptions of Electronics, which are going to be installed in one’s office before you buy / install them. Appliances must be sized properly as per the area and sitting capacity. Air Conditioners play a major role in offices these days as 90% businesses use some kind of computers or Laptops to perform their day to day and hour to hour operations. Without cooling the systems won’t performance properly. Plus people need cool and circulated air in a closed office. When sizing a Air Conditioner for office. Every business must consider dividing office in to zone’s (Zone divisions depends on how the office shape is Ex: Square, Rectangle, Circle, Right Angle / L Shaped.) Zones are created as per their Space, Usage and enclosure. If you buy a single Air conditioner for a small office, which has several cabins and open spaces. The Air Conditioner is going to cool places which don’t need cooling too. But splitting the Air Conditioner Sizing in to Several Air Conditioners helps plan cooling needs precisely and to a optimum level. Air Conditioners which are not required or the rooms which are empty don’t require cooling and those Air Conditioners can be kept office. Moreover splitting the office in Zone helps when One of the Air Conditioners fails and people in that section are unable to work due to heat produced in the enclosed space. Other rooms can be used for temporary purpose to work.
Similar to Air Conditioner Lights and other devices too must be split in to zones. So that when a particular zone is empty or Light / Electricity is not required for that Zone. You can totally switch off the area and conserve energy. Not only that but you can save huge on your monthly electricity bills.
