As buildings become more connected, complex, and dynamic, there is a growing need for intelligent building technologies that provide data-driven insights to maximize operational efficiency, cut energy waste, and lower overall costs. This paper explores how smart buildings leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to create new opportunities for information gathering and sharing, and the impact it has on buildings management and operations.

Digital ebook outlines and explores topics on the impact of IoT in Smart Buildings. (Telescope part number for localization: 998-20322239.)

Office buildings waste up to 30% of the energy they consume. An upgrade from simple thermostats to networked integrated room controllers allows centralized control and monitoring of office energy use and environmental comfort. Such capabilities reduce energy costs and improve working conditions. This paper provides guidance for how room controllers can be networked to achieve a rapid return on investment (ROI) and continued long-term energy savings.

The trend toward retail healthcare has resulted in healthcare enterprises having to operate dozens and sometimes hundreds of small remote facilities equipped with little or no energy control capabilities, except for simple thermostats. By retrofitting these facilities with intelligent controllers and building management systems, facility managers will see rapid ROI through reduced energy costs of up to 30%, improved patient comfort, and higher staff productivity.

This paper shows how a proactive, predictive maintenance approach coupled with analytics can reduce a building’s maintenance and energy costs by up to 20%. The pros and cons of different approaches to maintenance are discussed, as well as practical guidance on deciding whether to develop a smart services plan in-house or outsource it.
