Welcome to the BEAMA Smart Housing web site, developed by BEAMA and a group of leading brand manufacturers of smart technologies.  
Collectively, this group aims to turn the concept of Smart Housing into reality, and explain the benefits of investing in smart products.

There are many 'interpretations' of what is a Smart home. 
At BEAMA we believe that a Smart home is not simply a dwelling that has 'gadgets' providing novelty over practicality and purpose. 

A true Smart Home is one that seeks to take full advantage of Smart technology within a wider, yet focused, specification allowing service providers and occupiers to benefit in many ways - from convenience and better living standards to energy saving and device communication.

We have identified four distinct smart house types. 
For more detailed information concerning these (including product descriptions, regulations, sourcing advice), follow the links to the house type summaries below:

GREEN SMART HOME

Allows the householder to reduce their impact on the environment by providing energy usage information, control strategies and automated operation of products.

SAFE AND SECURE SMART HOME

ASSISTED LIVING SMART HOME

Has features enabling householders to enjoy, and remain longer in their homes, irrespective of age and/or disability.
