Book Description
Imagine working in a building with smart features and tenant applications that allow you to monitor, manage, and control every aspect of your user experience. Internet of Things for Smart Buildings is a comprehensive guide that will help you achieve that with smart building architecture, ecosystems, technologies, and key components that create a smart building.
In this audiobook, you'll start by examining all the building systems and applications that can be automated with IoT devices. You'll learn about different apps to improve efficiency, reduce consumption, and improve occupant satisfaction. You'll explore IoT sensors, devices, computing platforms, analytics software, user interfaces, and connectivity options, along with common challenges you might encounter while developing the architecture.
You'll also discover how to piece different components together to develop smart buildings with the help of use cases and examples and get to grips with the various IoT stacks. After finding out where to start developing the requirements for your project, you'll uncover a recommended methodology to understand your current building systems and a process for determining what needs to be modified, along with new technology requirements.
By the end of the audiobook, you'll be able to design and build your own smart building initiative, turning your city into a smart city with one building at a time.
