In the presentation, he also mentioned the use of advanced technological systems such as water management systems, which are frequently used in smart buildings and provide a very high amount of savings, systems that increase the energy efficiency of lighting systems, which have an important place in terms of energy consumption today, and fire safety systems, which are perhaps the most important security issue in buildings. He gave examples of smart buildings benefiting from these advanced technological systems in different parts of the world.
