It is now possible for most functions of the building’s technical performance, together with the business enterprise operation within the building to be linked together on one common platform. This has been made possible by the Internet of Things (IoT), which allows one common IP platform to link all the sensors and devices together to interchange information and through analytical software, optimize controls automatically without the need for human intervention. The terminology applied to buildings that can achieve this is called the Building Internet of Things (BIoT), and the process of morphing all the BAS services into one whole system is now underway. A BIoT system will overcome the present deficiencies of integrating systems and with time will be less expensive to install and operate and will allow the system to expand by simply adding new sensors and devices onto the network. You would expect building owners with large real estate portfolios to be very […]
