KGK Realty’s Infiniti Homes: A Smart Home That Can Help You Be Energy Efficient

Technology is something that has embedded itself in almost every aspect of our lives, be it the smartphone in our pockets, or AI now being used in cars to allow safe driving. Made possible because of some of the brightest minds in the world, there are now many appliances and devices available in the market that turn your house into a smart home. A smart home system is a concept achieved through a network of interconnected devices that makes smart decisions through either analysis of situation or pre-programmed schedules.

In simpler words, a smart home either knows your preferences or can be taught about them with simple steps. Apart from the obvious convenience that it brings to your life, there is another advantage of smart homes that has raised a lot of eyebrows in the past. Smart home is a concept that KGK Realty is bringing to the residents’ lives at the premier residential project,Infiniti Homes.

But how does technology itself helps us in reducing energy consumption caused by technology in the first place? And how does a smart home puts the reins of energy consumption in the hands of the owner? Let’s take a look.

Understanding the Concept of Idle Energy Consumption

The common understanding is that when you switch off anything, the energy stops getting consumed in any manner. While that is true for several of our appliances, it does not stand true for any device you may be operating with a remote. Switching off your TV with your remote and leaving the room puts the appliance in a condition of “idling,” where it is kept on standby and still consuming about 19% of energy as compared to when it was left on.

The same can be said for your AC, which has much higher energy consumption as compared to your TV. Another habit that many of us have is that of forgetting to switch off a number of other switches, like fans and light bulbs, which then further add to the idling energy consumption in our homes. Not just this increases the electricity bill at the end of the month, but it also has an adverse effect on the environment.

How Does Smart Home Help in Saving Energy

A smart home is basically all of your appliances connected to a wireless network that put them all in direct connection with either your smartphone or your computer so you can stay connected to your smart devices wherever you are.

How does this help? You can check the power status of any appliance that is connected to the network through your smart devices. And if your appliances are built in the ‘Smart’ way, you get additional benefits from them as well. You can schedule when you want them to turn on or off without having to go through the hassle of going through it yourself. You can schedule the AC to turn on before you get home so that it is cool as soon as you step in, or set the dishwasher to
wash your dishes while you are not home saving you some time, and most simply, turn things off when they are not in use and are yet are idling energy.

How Much Energy Efficiency are we Talking About?

Air conditioners and lighting forms form about 27% of our energy consumption. With scheduled on and off timings, smart lighting systems, and motion-sensing technology embedded in our appliances, we are looking at saving at least 10 to 12% of our average electricity bill.

Other appliances like microwaves, TVs, computers, gaming consoles, heaters, etc., can be automatically programmed to be turned off when left for idling to save power. This is the power of modern energy-efficient smart homes. You can also program your dishwasher to operate when the energy demands are low so they work optimally and without hassles.

When everything around us is getting smart, why should we keep our homes from riding the technological wave and form an extended part of our convenience? Connected homes are not just the future of living, but they deserve to be the present for everyone for better living.
