NAVIGATING
A SMART
FUTURE
Municipalities and even neighborhoods
throughout the world are embracing
"smart city" solutions that
incorporate connectivity, data
analytics and sustainability-resulting
in new opportunities and challenges
for engineering firms
While technology vendors paint a picture of autonomous vehicles seamlessly connecting to infrastructure, and
IP-connected fire hydrants that report leaks, cities often
struggle to implement even simpler smart solutions.
The rapidly shifting landscape can create confusion,
but it also presents an opportunity for engineering firms,
which have the expertise to help developers and public
agencies craft workable real-world solutions that create
both value in the present and capacity for the future.
In suburban Birmingham, Alabama, 62 homes in the
Reynolds Landing neighborhood are connected to the first
community-scale microgrid in the Southeast. The homes
are all outfitted with connected and efficient appliances
and HVAC and water heating systems, which homeowners control with apps on their smart devices. So far, the
houses are up to 40 percent more efficient than most other
new homes in the area.
The project is the result of a partnership between the
utility Alabama Power, the developer Signature Homes,
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and several technology
vendors. Although the homes are expected to all be occupied by this summer-and all of the technologies used
in the homes are available on the consumer market-the
