Smart buildings create the smart city
A building is a microcosm of a city in many ways. Like connecting systems within a building and using the data collected to deliver actionable insights, connecting buildings across a city takes this a step further to identify inefficient use patterns across several buildings. Cities already exist and buildings already exist; therefore, they will just need to be upgraded with IoT technologies to collect data to make insightful adjustments.
Smart building technology deployed across the city can help streamline operations and improve the overall infrastructure to deliver the smart city. Smart cities use the same advanced digital technologies and analytics as smart buildings, with a focus on similar outcome areas, such as the following:
- Energy: Cities are establishing goals to provide more efficient use of the power grid, something that is already occurring in many buildings. Buildings are a large part of a city’s energy use, and...
