Abstract
AbstractThis chapter presents a comprehensive smart system for the social housing sector which considers technical, social, and environmental issues. The chapter is composed of four sections. The first section discusses the challenges of the social housing sector with an emphasis on the social and environmental dimensions. The second section presents the research methodology, including an analysis of the expectations of the tenants and the social housing manager and the specifications for the design of the comprehensive smart system. The third section describes the architecture of the smart system, including the stakeholders’ communication channels, the monitoring system, and the smart services. The last section shows an application of smart system to a renovated social housing residence. The chapter shows that the comprehensive smart system should go beyond the smart building concept by extending this concept to the construction of a smart community and the involvement of this community in the improvement of the social housing environment.
