The Internet of Things (IoT) has quickly established itself as an essential feature of any smart, green building, according to an article from Building Operating Management on the FacilitiesNet website.
To achieve the highest returns on building improvements, prioritize improvements that correlate with the largest operating expenses.
For commercial spaces, energy consumption is typically the most significant cost. Engineering with IoT capabilities such as HVAC calibration, lighting replacement, plug load adjustment, indoor air quality monitoring, and plumbing leak detection can eliminate the daily inefficiencies in the space and the monthly spikes in utility bills.
Smart buildings recognize when they are occupied, increasing building systems’ reliability. Unnecessary systems shut down automatically, conserving natural resources. Believe it or not, this win-win for operators and occupants is possible.
