[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] KT announced on the 25th that it will introduce a ‘smart space solution’ to the remodeling business of buildings constructed by Dr. Home, a remodeling specialist company.

The smart space solution is a service that enhances convenience for building users and owners through building environment, safety, security, and energy management. It offers various services ranging from home Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that remotely control home appliances to Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) capable of managing energy at the building level.

As remodeling projects that transform old buildings into new constructions have become active recently, demand for smart space solutions is also increasing. The Korea Smart Home Industry Association expects the domestic smart space solution market to grow to approximately 31 trillion won by 2025.

Previously, remodeling construction and smart space solution system installation were often carried out separately, causing compatibility issues with electrical equipment or aesthetic mismatches between interior design and solution devices. Extended construction periods sometimes led building owners to incur additional expenses.

To address these issues, Dr. Home and KT signed a business agreement last October and have been discussing ways to combine their services. Through this, both companies establish architectural strategies for smart space solution installation from the early stages of remodeling, carrying out construction optimized for each customer’s budget and requirements. Notably, the solution can now be applied not only to small residential spaces such as apartments and villas but also to medium and large building remodels.

In fact, a smart space solution is currently being applied to a building located in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, and construction is underway. Additionally, Dr. Home will showcase the building remodeling and solution installation process through the SBS remodeling entertainment program ‘Yeokjjeon House’ as the main contractor.
