Construction of the world’s first integrated digital building at the University of Metropolitan Toronto

According to RCO News Agency, A new building is under construction on the University of Metropolitan Toronto, the first fully integrated digital building in the world, displaying technologies that reduce the effects of climate change. The building will be the most advanced smart building research center in the world with the latest technologies.

The two -storey building is set to open this fall. The building will actually be an experiment for a full range of technologies in the field of smart buildings aimed at enhancing cooperation between university and industry researchers.

Systems such as lighting, security, information technology and communication will be controlled remotely, allowing researchers to examine and carefully analyze solutions to reducing carbon in built -in environments.

The building cover is made of mass panels and components that are manufactured outside the site and carried by truck. “The last wooden shells are under construction and the building’s facade is expected to appear in general,” says Jenny McArtor, professor of architecture science at the University of Toronto.

Construction of the building began in year 6 and prolonged it because the project approval and construction approval steps took several years. The project costs about $ 5 million, mainly funded by the Canadian Innovation Foundation and the Ontario Research Fund. The center will be like a living laboratory in which new technologies are developed for smart universities and smart city solutions, including energy, water, transportation and smart work.

The ground floor of the building will facilitate research and development for smart homes and hosts an operational center that processes building automation data, pedestrian sensors, university surrounding traffic and weather. The second floor will also have testing workshops and sections to develop different technologies for smart offices.
