As more building owners look to adopt new smart building technology, facility managers will have a much easier time managing HVAC equipment.
Could automated buildings able to harvest their own energy help create a self-powered IoT?
Applying smart building technology to HVAC systems has vast potential. Technologies such as IoT can help meet current and future energy goals by providing the needed tools.
Smart building technologies help agencies to trim costs, reduce waste and improve operations.
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are the biggest consumers of energy in a building. For smart buildings, technologies have evolved to improve energy efficiency of HVAC systems, but faults often occur. Due to the complex nature of large-scale HVAC systems used in buildings, diagnosing these faults can be challenging.
Researchers at EPFL have developed a system that can be installed in a building to collect data on people's energy usage. The aim is then to send this data directly to a smart electric grid that will allocate resources optimally.
Renovating your facility to take advantage of the latest energy efficient smart building technologies is worth the expense
Biometric sensors, improved Wi-Fi and predictive maintenance data are driving the growing market for smart buildings.
"While the 'Internet of Things' is a topic of much speculation in the consumer market, smart building technology has steadily been increasing its footprint and impact among commercial buildings."
Information is the key to unlocking energy efficiency.
The study, which examined office and retail space, hotels and hospitals, found each segment has significant differences in smart technology adoption.
Taking on the pivotal question about grid-interactive efficient buildings, a new study finds mixed results.
Among the ever-increasing features of smart buildings, a new technology could prove TO BE one of the biggest advances yet: a high precision software to measure energy consumption.
IIC reports learnings from its AI-focused testbed on a deep-learning facility.
Government agencies can turn to an array of sensors and data analytics platforms to enhance energy efficiency and optimize building operations.
Read this 9-page white paper to learn how integrating a smart building platform with an IWMS allows organizations to exploit and realize the most value from their portfolio for both their business and its occupants.
A nervous system capable of collecting data and a brain that is able to make use of it are vital to a system that meets the needs of stakeholders—and society.
Smart buildings collect real-time data and allocate resources more efficiently, which can contribute to increased NOI, rent rates, and rental demand in properties.
Augmented reality is firmly embedded in the future of facilities management as smart building technology converges with smart devices and machines.
A smart building is any building that uses automated processes to control operations like heating. Learn how a smart building cuts operating expenses.
Consider these six important factors before embarking on an Internet of Things smart building implementation within your new construction or renovation project.
