Improving energy efficiency in buildings has critical importance for both enhancing user comfort and reducing operating costs. Today, this objective is achieved through smart electrical systems that enable the management of lighting, air conditioning, security, and various electrical equipment within the building by means of sensors, data acquisition units, and automation technologies. The main purpose of energy efficiency in buildings and smart electrical systems is to reduce energy consumption, minimize environmental impacts, increase user safety and comfort, make energy use monitorable and optimizable, and establish an economical operational structure. These systems provide flexibility in energy management by offering remote monitoring and control capabilities and evolve into an integrated structure together with high-efficiency heating-cooling systems, automatic lighting solutions, and power quality improvement methods.
Although there are many methods for increasing energy efficiency, in addition to thermal insulation applications implemented in the building, the use of photovoltaic (PV) systems, the widespread adoption of smart meters, motion and light sensors, smoke and fire detection systems, smart access and intercom technologies are important smart electrical system components that enhance energy efficiency in both residential and commercial buildings. The operation of these components under an integrated energy management system ensures both sustainable and high-performance building operation. In this study, the basic components, operating principles, and application examples of smart electrical systems aimed at increasing energy efficiency in buildings are examined, and an evaluation is presented from the perspective of integrated energy management.
