Study Notes
Intelligent Buildings and IoT
- An intelligent building can adapt to changing circumstances and provide diagnostic information to drive remedial action or performance enhancement.
- It can use sets of sensors to deliver a coherent response through multiple actuators.
Characteristics of Intelligent Buildings
- They provide a productive and cost-effective environment through optimization of four basic elements and their interrelationship.
- Features of intelligent buildings include:
- Environmental friendliness
- Space utilization and flexibility
- Cost effectiveness
- Human health and well-being
- Working efficiency and effectiveness
- Safety and security measures
- Meeting client expectations
- Effective innovative technology
- Efficient construction and management processes
Internet of Things (IoT)
- The IoT refers to a network of physical devices embedded with sensors, network software, and connectivity, allowing them to collect and share data.
- Technologies that make IoT possible include:
- Sensors and actuators
- Connectivity technologies (e.g. wifi, Bluetooth, cellular, Zigbee, LoRaWAN)
IoT in Intelligent Buildings
- IoT enables automation in intelligent buildings by allowing sensors and actuators to work together to resolve issues without human intervention.
- IoT can help create a comfortable environment in intelligent buildings by incorporating passive and active systems to protect against natural and man-made entities.
This quiz is about Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), which are systems that integrate physical and computational elements to interact with the physical world. CPS can adapt to changing circumstances, provide diagnostic information, and use sensors and actuators to respond to their environment.
