The usage of various smart devices, such as smart meters and building energy management systems, by designers and engineers to monitor temperature control and safety of electrical devices, lighting control units, appliances in industrial facilities and buildings for high-cost savings and energy optimization.
Advantages: Increased safety, reduction of energy consumption.
Due to high price of copper, utility companies have already started to develop alternative cables using aluminum (copper clad aluminum cables). This will help electrical design professionals to use smaller cables for higher voltages, making design more energy efficient.
Advantages: Price reduction in electrical contracting, energy-efficient design.
Create MEP 3D models, efficiently share and communicate among various stakeholders in the project. Cloud-based collaboration has enabled the stakeholders to access and manage resources in real-time, 3D modelling, advanced scheduling (4D), and cost estimation (5D).
Advantages: Project control, increased co-ordination, conflict resolution, sequencing of construction phases.
Smart grids are growing in importance worldwide, as energy systems have become more complex and energy sources become more diverse. Smart grids integrate innovative electrical technology at multiple levels to improve flow control, detect malfunctions and automate service delivery. With end-to-end communication between power plants, distribution sites and the end user’s electrical point-of-presence, it becomes possible to raise efficiency and reduce costs.

Virtual Reality
Virtual reality draws on multiple disciplines, but in terms of providing a sensory experience that maps effectively to “real life,” electrical engineering is crucial. The earliest VR technologies consisted of a headset with gloves as an input device, rendering the user mostly stationary. Positional tracking is now making VR more interactive, but the market has yet to develop a solution using a complete array of sensors
