What Is a Smart Building?

A smart building converges various building-wide systems—such as HVAC, lighting, alarms, and security. Most of the device was mananed in a platform, in order to control the device and manage their behavior. Like, turning the lighting when someone walks in. Manage the cozy working environment in the office room.

How does a smart building work?

A smart building uses its intelligence to collect actionable data from user devices, sensors, systems, and services on the premises. To complete this solution, you will need some smart device that are able to working in this smart system. Smart device should be able to talk with the management platform. Like Zigbee or R485 or some others protocol

What's the benefits of smart buildings

Lower operational costs

A smart building can, for example, leverage data it collects to reduce use of electric lighting by adjusting shades to let in more natural light. Such lighting management has been proved to lower power usage dramatically. In turn, it can help buildings become more energy-efficient to meet or exceed stringent regulations for greenhouse-gas emissions.

Smart-building data can also support automated scheduling, from parking-space allocation to workspace assignment to conference room reservation.

Lower energy costs

Connecting lighting, shades, and HVAC systems, for instance, enables building operators to automatically adjust temperature, shades, and lighting based on time of day and occupancy.

Greater flexibility

Smart-building data can be used, for example, to detect changes in occupancy density. The building's HVAC systems then adjust airflow, humidity, and temperature appropriately.

Or based on escalating density thresholds, lighting color could change to indicate too many people in a conference room, workspace, or building.
