This expert panel discusses technology trends, consumer demands, and the revenue opportunities for new services that enable the Smarter Home.

The rapid evolution of digital technology combined with the increasing availability of continuous connectivity is finally bringing the promise of the “Smarter Home” to reality. Smart devices connecting to services in the network enable a large range of new applications that can make our lives easier, safer, more economical and healthier.

This paradigm opens up completely new opportunities for innovative services From increased entertainment choices to medical monitoring, remote security monitoring and management as well as energy management. These new services can enrich our lives and can almost pay for themselves through increased efficiency, subscription services, or for example, discount on insurance payments.

In addition to making consumers’ lives easier and more enjoyable, service providers can gain valuable intelligence and efficiencies by aggregating data in the network. A particularly promising approach is to use cloud technology in the network to provide the intelligence for the smart home, simplifying the management and avoiding complexity for the consumer.

Please join us for a provocative discussion and afterwards experience the Smarter Home connected devices we will demo in the meeting room.

Shaspa is dedicated to providing innovative solutions to consumers and corporate clients to enable them to visualise, monitor and manage their environments to improve their quality of life, improve their green credentials reduce costs and improve experiences.

Shaspa  - creating intelligent Shared Spaces for the Corporate World

Shaspa suite of enterprise solutions are based on three building blocks: Smart Instrumentation, Smart Interconnectivity and Smart Shared Spaces which enable users to visualise, monitor and manage their environments by bringing together multiple medias wirelessly which integrate and manage physical and virtual environments.

Smart Buildings

The development of a smart building often begins on an architects drawing board. However, even a structure that may not have been designed with specific smart building practices in mind can be managed and operated to have the most favorable impact on the environment.  Shaspa consultants are positioned uniquely to aid and assist in implementing smart building practices and technologies.

Research demonstrates that a significant percentage of carbon emissions that harm our environment come from commercial buildings. Upwards of 40% of those emissions come from these types of structures located in industrial countries around the world.

Generally, building owners engage a management company to run the day to day management of their property, and these management companies are tasked already with a full array of responsibilities. They don’t have time let alone the necessary experience to ensure that the property functions as a smart building. Additionally, the creation of a smart building requires certain technological enhancements as well.

Shaspa can work in conjunction with the current onsite management team to optimize the performance, technical and structural elements of the property in a number of ways:

• Reduce environmental impact

  Professionals at Shaspa have accomplished this goal on behalf of many different commercial property developers, owners and managers.

• Reducing costs

  although crafting a smart building can require an initial investment, Shaspa works to ensure that necessary retrofitting is reasonably priced. Research demonstrates that a smart building is not only environmentally friendly but highly cost effective.

• Increasing efficiency

  Investments in smart building technology and practices is offset by costs saved in the day to day operation of the property well into the future.

  Shaspa have drawn on commercial skills and expertise to develop advanced engery and cost saving solutions for consumers in the form of Shaspa Smart Home.

With the issue of energy efficiency hot on everyone’s lips, it’s important to be aware of how much energy your appliances use. Shaspa is a unique and innovative way of monitoring energy usage in the home or office.

Those using Shaspa in the home will find the easy-to-install unit is an invaluable resource, showing them exactly how much energy they use on a regular basis and which appliances guzzle the most power. With the Shaspa display showing exactly how much power and money their appliances use, users are able to make smart decisions about power usage. The simple act of turning appliances off makes a visual, real time difference in the amount of energy being used and a noticeable impact on the next electricity bill! Users can also set standby procedures so that if a light or appliance is left on during the day, it can be switched off remotely from anywhere in the world.

But how do you know if your home’s energy usage is normal? Shaspa offers users a unique opportunity to compare your home’s efficiency with that of other Shaspa users. Shaspa has the ability to automatically update your energy statistics onto your twitter account or into a facebook group, these stats can then be compared with those from other houses in your street, town, city or country. With everyone competing to get their energy usage low, the benefits to the environment are truly staggering.

Business users will find Shaspa will save thousands or even millions of pounds every single year. Carbon emissions from buildings, such as those from air conditioning, heating and lighting, account for approximately 40% of the carbon footprint in most industrial countries. With Shaspa making everyone more conscious of the energy they’re using, this 40% could be drastically reduced. With sensors detecting the ambient temperature and air quality as well as the power usage of appliances and lighting, businesses are able to clearly see where cutbacks can be made to increase the energy efficiency of their business.

So take a look at what Shaspa can do for you and get started on the road to energy efficiency.

How about an addon to the Smart Home Kit ?

Your Social Energy Meter can be displayed on a web page or mobile device. Or how about displayed on a networked designer base that changes colour based on energy consumption data? It provides you with a full set of easy to use features to store and analyze your data and communicate with a variety of users via a selection of display technologies and social networking systems. The two-colour display can be set to compare things such as:

• Current energy usage vs previous usage (self to self or self to group)

• Current energy usage vs target usage (self / group)

• Current energy usage with neighbourhood average usage

The use of colours to compare actual against targets or standards creates an attractive way to monitor and compare usage or performance instantly. It's not only a simple display, but can be a motivational incentive to improve performance that can be placed on the web. Depending on your privacy settings, you can use it to lower energy use and achieve a "Personal Best" rating, or compare scores with others in a friendly competition to promote conservation.
