The iHomeLab is the Swiss think tank and research laboratory for intelligent living and building automation. Energy efficiency, comfort and safety are the key aspects. Special attention is given to the issue of ambient assisted living. Our core competencies are applications of automation networks that are user friendly, appropriate for the masses and efficient in terms of cost-benefit ratio. The iHomeLab is a network platform with national and international impact, where the latest results of our joint venture research projects are presented and discussed. With a program for publications and events we lay a foundation for the consumer acceptance on intelligent living. The iHomeLab makes a contribution to the interdisciplinary guiding theme “Buildings as Systems” of the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture and sensitises experts and the public for intelligent living.
