Technology is inextricably linked to us humans. In all stages of life. Also when a degree of care is needed. The terms care domotics or care technology quickly come to mind. Functional technology that makes the primary work process of the care professional more efficient. Or improves the self-reliance and well-being of the client in her care situation. More than once, the place of 'the building and its technology' is forgotten. Energy, climate and ICT: it is degraded to the basic techniques. It is there; and that's it!
In the development process of a new building, the cut is often made between the building and the user. This 'cut' appears to be a source of discussion in demarcations. It also causes unnecessary investments in technology. And finally, perhaps most importantly, the cut kills many an innovation. Too bad and above all stupid.
The technical integration of all technology in and around the building is known in the industry as building automation. Working from this integration idea is – if done well – not only because it can, but because it demonstrably contributes to a clear goal. For example, savings through smart monitoring, better management and maintenance or, in business economics, more efficient operation.
This requires a lot of knowledge and expertise from the installer. But also a place where you can learn from each other and share information. You will find such a place at the building automation trade association. This trade association is part of FHI in Leusden. As a federation of technology branches, the mission of FHI is to be a collective of technology companies that are active in the Dutch market as suppliers of industrial electronics, building automation, industrial automation, laboratory technology and medical technology. Definitely worth considering a membership.
