Advantech VP Henry Lee also echoes that sentiment, “digital homes have also caused quite a stir in Taiwan in recent years. After picking up many new ideas from a variety of national intelligent home living policies from u-Japan, IT839 from Korea, and Singapore’s iN2015, the Interior Ministry also set up the Taiwan Intelligent Living Space Industry Development Plan, that focuses on propagating intelligent living ideas, characterized by the introduction of sustainable, environmentally-friendly construction notions and intelligent industrial technologies in various architectural structures to create a safe, healthy, convenient, comfortable, energy-conscious and sustainable living environment. Digital homes and intelligent buildings will be the first on the repertoire to assemble a sound intelligent community and city.”
