SMART TOWN FRAMEWORK

SMART PLANNING

To make use of computer simulation and data analytics to improve the way towns, precincts, and buildings are planned and designed. Real time information can be simulated in the models to achieve the most optimal and cost-effective solution for the design of HDB estates.

SMART ENVIRONMENT

To implement a network of sensors within the estates to collect real-time information related to the environment and to trigger corrective actions to ensure environmental conditions are optimal for residents. Data such as temperature and humidity levels can be collected from various sensors and these insights will aid HDB in the planning and building design of future estates, as well as to enhance township management. For example, Smart fans located in common areas will respond to temperature and humidity levels, and be promoted to regulate its speed to improve thermal comfort levels and optimize energy consumption.

SMART ESTATE

By leveraging various smart technologies to collect and analyze data for the optimization of maintenance schedules, township management can be improved. For example, smart lighting equipped with sensors can be used to analyze human traffic patterns in common areas and to obtain real-time status of the lighting performance in the estate. Data analytics can be used for predictive maintenance leading to greater energy savings and greater operational efficiency.

SMART LIVING

Provision of digital infrastructure in flats for intelligent homes, enabling residents to use smart home applications developed by commercial companies that help to achieve energy savings and offer convenient access to services such as healthcare in the comfort of their homes, some examples are the Home Energy Management Systems and Elderly Monitoring Systems.

SMART COMMUNITY

To leverage data analytics and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to better understand and engage residents. By creating a digital ecosystem of applications and services, the AI-and-data platform will empower communities to take greater ownership in co-creating their living environment.
