Reshaping Building Controls With IOT Devices
Building Management is always being transformed by new technology. Automation has greatly helped with streamlining operations, whilst Smart Controls are also changing the ways we interact with our buildings.
But perhaps the most obvious area in which technology has impacted building controls is in IoT devices. IoT (Internet of Things) is a term used to describe objects that are fitted with technology such as software or sensors. The purpose of this is to exchange information and communicate with other platforms, creating a network that can support a smart building system.
How are IoT Devices used in Building Controls?
The impact that IoT platforms have already had on our lives is significant. From enabling much of the smart home integration that many of us now take for granted, to creating Greener Buildings, IoT is utilised in many controls including:
- Climate Control
- HVAC Systems (also used with HVAC Decarbonisation)
- Lighting Control
- Fire Detection
- Fire Suppression
- Security Solutions
Why is IoT transformational?
IoT devices are fundamental in making smart building designs possible. Thus, many of the benefits of smart building controls can be attributed to the IoT platforms that are behind them.
Above all, IoT attempts to improve the efficiency of building automation and control. By linking different services together, IoT devices can lower management and operational costs as well as reduce energy wastage. Not only does this help property owners to save money, but it also creates Eco-Friendly Buildings.
Furthermore, IoT sensors, the technology that essentially allows for extensive integration, can greatly increase safety and security. Inter-connected building controls often detect threats faster and subsequently speeds up response times, whilst also being more accessible to operate manually. This increases the well-being of building occupants, which can make properties More Desirable as Spaces to Work and Live in.
