Planning Today To Sustain Tomorrow Future Proof Technology
Typical scenarios addressed:
There are many items that will be considered in this part of the analysis and presented in the proposal:
*
Power generator – location, shelter, noise, wiring
* Solar power / Photovoltaic panels – optimal positioning for maximum sun exposure through the year and not compromising the style of the building.
* Storage battery areas, extra and alternative wiring and placement of inverters.
* Electrical installation enhancements to improve the facility layout and accessibility of power.
* Guidelines to ensure easier backup power integration, home automation and redundancy
* Water conservation through storage tanks and its positioning, grey water utilisation distribution and preparation for irrigation.
* Security options to be considered and catered for.
* Propose areas and features to allow for broadband and media distribution through the house. Provide for placement of adequate equipment and cabling.
* Ensure an overall echo friendly design .

Included with the assessment
Package includes a proposal to direct the designer, architect, builder and specialised contractor to integrate the technology options into the design, optimise system efficiency and reduce cost and time to install. It is important to get our technology and supplier independent view since it will ensure integration of all aspects. The technology specific designs should come after the overall high level technology assessment and proposal.
FPTech's professional assessment will help you and the architectural team to create homes with the latest echo friendly technology features required, included in the design. It is necessary that the latest technology thinking is part of the design of the house and not an afterthought that spoils the looks and aesthetics of the house. By optimally planning for future technology enhancements the design and building process can cater for the basic elements to ensure a faster and overall integrated fit. This integration of technology into the home design and building process can save significant amounts in itself and will further avoid some of the cost and save time should these enhancements later be added to a building. From our 20+ years in technology design and deployment and the latest research in the smart home technologies, we will ensure your customers get an independent technology-neutral future proof plan to build with peace of mind. As a member of the Green Building Council of South Africa with professional accreditation in new and existing building Green Star rating tools, the latest echo friendly business models are used to ensure an environmental and economically sustainable development.
