BAS Meets the Internet of Things, Creating the Future of Smart Buildings
Building automation system (BAS) technology has come a long way since its modern origins 40 years ago. Sophisticated for their time, first-generation systems ran on dedicated mainframe microcomputers and used pneumatics to control heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. The BAS could perform a few basic functions, such as controlling temperatures by turning the […]
Why the Building Internet of Things Will Enable Smart Buildings
The manufacturers and suppliers of technical services in commercial and industrial buildings have deployed web-enabled technology, smart systems and sensors, and integration across the different services as part of their solutions for some 25 years under a banner of “Intelligent Buildings,” “Smart Buildings,” or “Building Automation.” Now they have adopted a new term called the […]
Smart Buildings and Businesses Vulnerable to “Shadow IT”
The workplace is changing in our ever more connected world. Mobile devices, the cloud, bring your own device (BYOD) and the Internet of things (IoT) have introduced a whole new style of computing, and are forcing businesses big and small to rethink what security needs to look like in order to protect the growing numbers […]
The Key Market Drivers for the Building Internet of Things Business
The key drivers causing Building Automation (BAS) to morph into the Building Internet of Things (BIoT) fall into 3 main categories – business drivers, technology drivers and energy efficiency drivers. In the first category the driver that will have the most impact in the long term is data integration into business systems. Organizations are increasingly […]
Rethinking Small Commercial Building Automation
Smart building technology is revolutionising energy consumption in commercial buildings, a section of the urban environment that has habitually been the biggest contributor to “energy waste” and climate change. Well over 5 million commercial buildings in the US now incorporate smart technologies, which not only reduce energy consumption but also increase productivity, comfort and safety […]
Can the Building Automation Industry Deliver their own Building Internet of Things?
Given the size of the building systems market of $120Bn in 2014 and healthy projected compound annual growth rate of 8.98% to 2020, it is not surprising that players from the more consolidated IT infrastructure and software business see attractive opportunities in the Building Internet of Things (BIoT). Several big players have made moves to […]
