The Smart Building Ecosystem
While many of the new buildings under design and construction today have already incorporated IoT and smart building solutions, smart buildings do not need to begin from the ground up. Existing buildings known as the built environment may add IoT technology and smart building applications to make a building smarter.
What are the components necessary to build an IoT network to create a smart building? We will review the major components of the smart building ecosystem: IoT sensors and devices, edge, fog, or cloud computing, data management, analytics software, a user interface, and a means of connectivity.
