What is Smart Building?
Smart buildings incorporate advanced technology functions within a building through a control system. In general, the functions are available through the use of existing technologies such as Internet of things (IoT) sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics. Smart technology enables enhanced productivity for the occupants with a use of diverse systems of illumination, Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC), physical security, etc. It further permits lowered costs and reduced environmental impacts.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Through the use of IoT technology, multiple devices are connected to each other. this enables the integration of all the data and information, and eventually achieves the optimization of controls. In short, the sensors, controllers, and all the equipment are able to communicate and co-work with each other due to the connection that has been made by IoT system.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning
AI technology refers to the ability of imitating human behaviors, while machine learning technology refers to the process of achieving AI as the learning procedure of an algorithm is included. It is possible to merely build an AI system without machine learning, but it requires laborious tasks to build all the codes. Using machine learning, a significant amount of data can be utilized for the AI system. Which means the demanding work of writing all the codes is not required. AI and machine learning aid in using and monitoring the IoT devices, thus achieving smart building technology.
Smart Building Automation
Automation realizes the automatic control of diverse facilities such as Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and security systems. It incurs several benefits including the followings:
01
Provides comfortable environments
02
Secures safety of tools and equipment
03
Reduces energy consumption
04
Lowers operating costs
05
Provokes capital recovery
