Some commonly used technologies in smart buildings include:
1. Internet of Things (IoT) devices: These are interconnected devices and sensors that collect data and send it to a central system for analysis.
2. Building Automation Systems (BAS): This system controls the building's HVAC, lighting, and other systems from a centralized platform.
3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): These technologies are used to analyze data and provide insights for building optimization.
4. Renewable energy sources: Technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal systems are used to power smart buildings while reducing their carbon footprint.
5. Smart lighting: Energy-efficient lighting systems that are controlled by sensors and can adjust lighting levels based on occupancy, natural light, and time of day.
6. Advanced security systems: These include facial recognition, biometric access control, and video surveillance for improved security and safety.
7. Building Information Modelling (BIM): A digital representation of a building that provides detailed information on its design, construction, and maintenance, allowing for better decision making and optimization.
