An Integrated IoT and Wireless System for Energy Optimization and Real-Time Monitoring Towards Sustainable and Efficient Building Management in Smart Buildings

At a time when urbanization is increasing, and the world's energy need is growing, energy efficiency in building elements has become a key factor in the environment impact mitigation and operational cost reduction strategies. Building management is governed by traditional operational features that are often inadequate to contemporary occupation patterns, infrastructural demands, and environmental changes. Consequently, there is a growing tendency towards the implementation of integrated systems such as autonomous management systems which can oversee energy use and other resources without sacrificing comfort and safety. Cloud storage and wireless technologies have now made it possible to improve energy management like never before. By making use of such technologies, smart building systems are able to receive, transmit and monitor data from many networks in real time. This capability further enhances the control of energy-demanding devices and processes such as heating, ventilation, and lighting, which are controlled and manipulated by preset schedules and manual settings. In addition to this, predictive maintenance and detection of inefficiencies is possible due to real time data analysis trends, usage history and anticipation of external consumption forces.
