WHAT IS
SMART
BUILDING?
1.1

Smart Building
A structure that utilizes automated
processes to control the building’s
operational ike ventilation, air
conditioning, lighting, heating, security,
sanitation, and other core systems.

The systems allows the building to deliver

services using the least amount of energy
for lower costs and decreased
environmental impact.

THINGS TO KNOW
1.2

IOT SENSORS
It tracks the environment and monitor or send
the data to the computer's processor.

It communicates with an access point placed

inside the building.

It is the source to monitor the ecosystem

within the building and those light,
humidity, temperature, location, air
quality, vibration, motion, and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmuEurPH9M4&t=24s
1.3

USER INTERFACE
This is the procedure that creates a
connection between users and software.

ANALYTIC SOFTWARE
It reads and analyzes the rich insights and
assists users in determining how to act
on these insights
can be used to automatically turn the
sensor on and off based on its https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO0gugWsIWs&t=68s

environment.
1.4

CONNECTIVITY
The starting point of Smart Buildings

The solutions of the connectivity are Wi-Fi-

based and cellular-based networking options.

It is related to the information technology

department because it needs to create
accurate connections among the devices
working in the network.

Technology and Applications

Smart Building Systems
2.1

HVAC SYSTEM
Smart heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC)

Software interprets information from various

sensor points to optimize the HVAC system’s
operation while improving occupant comfort.

Smart HVAC controls can limit energy

consumption in unoccupied building
zones, detect and diagnose faults, and
reduce HVAC usage, particularly during
times of peak energy demand.

APPLICATIONS
2.7

Lighting Scenes

Lighting control systems are

programmed to create a variety
of scenes or ambience
This can be brought about by
controlling light fixtures,
switches and lighting
properties such as dimming,
color, temperature, and others.
2.8

Human Centric Lighting

Creating lighting that mimics the natural

daylight that drives our bodily functions such
as biological, emotional, health, or well-being
of people

Street Lighting

Street lighting is done by using LED, or solid-

state lighting technology. It helps to manage
all connected street lights securely and
remotely.

PLUG LOADS
Smart plug load controls consist of auto-
controlled receptacles and power strips that
rely on time scheduling, motion sensing, or
load detection to completely cut off power to
equipment that is not in use.

WINDOW SHADING
Smart window systems manage the amount of
solar heat and daylight that enters the
building.

Systems consist of passive and active window

glazing and films that respond to changes in
sunlight or temperature, and auto-controlled
shades that are scheduled to operate at
specific times of the day to control light levels
and solar heat gain.

Windows with Electric

Shading

Allows you to shade your home from sunlight

and UV rays while providing privacy.

Can be operated through a button, a remote

control, voice activation, or any other
automatic working system that uses an
electric component or motor vs. having to
open and close curtains or blinds manually
