PPC Limited Advocates Smart Building Automation for Efficient Facility Management
PPC Limited, Nigeria’s leading engineering and infrastructure development company, has emphasized the importance of intelligent automation in the management and maintenance of multi-story buildings. According to the company, leveraging smart technology can significantly enhance efficiency, optimize energy use, and improve the overall functionality of building systems.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Anand Kumar, Head of the Building Services Engineering Division at PPC, highlighted the growing demand for user-friendly, tech-integrated building designs. He noted that facility managers must efficiently monitor and control critical building systems—including HVAC, power, fire safety, lighting, security, and plumbing—to eliminate inefficiencies and ensure seamless operations.
Smart Building Systems Enhance Efficiency and Cost Savings
Kumar stated, “Technology is now an essential component of modern building projects. The integration of digital capabilities such as the Internet of Things (IoT) into plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems can help reduce energy and water wastage. This directly translates to cost savings, a faster return on investment (ROI), and an improved level of comfort for occupants.”
He further explained that hospitals, hotels, and office buildings are increasingly adopting intelligent control technologies to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and create safer environments. With IoT-enabled smart building systems:
- Energy efficiency is improved, as heating and cooling systems operate only when necessary.
- Operational insights can be leveraged to optimize productivity and sustainability.
- Carbon footprints are reduced, contributing to environmentally friendly building practices.
“IoT sensors installed in commercial and hospitality buildings play a crucial role in minimizing energy bills by monitoring and controlling the energy consumption of mechanical and electrical equipment,” Kumar added.
Smart Building Market Growth & Future Outlook
According to a Data Bridge Market Research report, the global Building Management System market—valued at $14.10 billion in 2021—is expected to reach $51.73 billion by 2028, driven by economic growth and increased awareness of modern energy-efficient solutions.
Kumar also pointed out that security-enhanced smart buildings will dominate the real estate market. Technology-driven identification, access control, and surveillance systems will become standard in new high-rise developments, ensuring improved security and better tenant experiences.
