People are spending most of their lives indoors, there is no place where we spend more time daily. If only the walls could talk, what would it say about our time spent indoors? Nowadays, they can. Buildings are alive with information, housing intelligent devices and machines that produce data.
Here Comes Smart Building
A building may have HVAC, lighting, alarms, and security, all those systems can be converged into a single IT-managed network infrastructure. To accomplish this convergence, foundational technology such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) is used.
A smart building will use its intelligence to collect actionable data from user devices, sensors, systems, and services on the premises. It then applies the data using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to make the building programmable and responsive to the needs of the users and the building manager.
The network can identify and segment devices and learn their behavior, to improve detection of anomalies and intrusions. This is a way to help secure the network.
The Benefits of a Smart Building
The operational costs will be lower. Using the data it collects, a smart building can adjust shades to let in more natural light reducing the use of electric lighting. Thus, it lowers power usage dramatically. With connected lighting, shades, and HVAC systems, building operators can automatically adjust lighting, shades, and temperature based on the time of day and occupancy.
Smart building data can be used to detect changes in occupancy density. The building's HVAC systems then properly adjust the airflow, humidity, and temperature. It helps buildings become more energy-efficient to meet or exceed rigid regulations for greenhouse gas emissions.
