SMART BUILDINGS Definition

"The use of networked technology, embedded within architecture to monitor and control ele-
ments of the architecture for exchange of information between users, systems and buildings. "

Smart Buildings (defined by Christopher Dye, Donny Chou, Shipra Gupta, Scott Hartmann)
SMART BUILDINGS What makes a building “smart”?
Optimized “Building Automation Systems”
Information Networking
Networked buildings
Networked Appliances
Automation
Efficient use of energy
Environment friendly
High user end customization
Automation Networking
Centralized control of multiple buildings
Efficient use of energy and resources
Environment friendly
Overall cost Reduction
Efficient use of man-power
Typologies Of Smart Buildings Automation
The technique, method, or system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means, as by
electronic devices, reducing human intervention to a minimum.

BAS - Building Automation Systems

BAS is an instance of a distributed control system
> It consists of sensors, controllers, actuators, and software.
> An operator interfaces with the system via central workstation or web browser.

POINT OF VIEW: FACILITIES MANAGER

1. Systems become centralized - allow remote operations

2. Run via web apps over IP network - allow data sharing between building systems
3. Standard protocols streamline products by multiple vendors. Eg of protocols: BACnet, LonTalk (see
'links' post for more info).
4. Efficient workflow - centralized + uses widespread IP technology
5. Optimized energy consumption - due to automation
6. Automation - sensors automatically detect deviations in temperature etc and send feedback
