Energy-efficient buildings minimize energy needs in order to save and make a more rational use of the energy available within all their areas, the more smart cities are created, the more intelligent cities there will be in the world.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that commercial, residential and public buildings consume between 30% and 40% of energy and are responsible for between 25% and 35% of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions. Worldwide.

In such a way that the challenge worldwide is the creation of these constructions to get more cities to integrate digital technologies into their networks, services and infrastructures to make them more efficient for their citizens.

On the other hand, the National Commission for the Efficient Use of Energy defines them as those that generate sustainable buildings, which incorporate into their characteristic design, that make them pleasant environments and spaces for users (both outside and inside), economically less expensive and environmentally friendly, thanks to technologies that reduce the use of resources such as energy and water.

According to the IESE CITIES INDEX 2020, carried out by the platform of the University of Navarra; London, New York, Tokyo, Paris and Reykjavik are the five smartest cities in the world.

In the Mexican market, the company Trane, focused on creating comfortable and energy-efficient indoor environments for commercial and residential applications, shares the three points that allow creating smart cities.

The company mentions that by improving the infrastructure conditions of a building, energy efficiency can be improved, reducing the general operating costs of the buildings and allowing savings that will be useful to modernize the structures.

By having this capital, entrepreneurs or building owners can apply systems or technological innovations that help improve the efficiency of their portfolio properties.

Incorporating decarbonization, water conservation, and energy efficiency into building infrastructure is the easiest way for Trane to end the generation of climate change gases.

These concepts must be incorporated into HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems and equipment, which typically use fossil fuels, and by converting them to electrical or automation systems that reduce energy use during off-peak hours.
