The ability for the various building systems to share critical information in real time greatly expands the opportunities available to facilities managers.” Well-executed network control concepts can reduce HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) Rapidly rising: Asian market energy use by 30-50 percent below the demand for large buildings. energy requirements for the same achieved, this same system can equipment using conventional provide real-time feedback and controls.

The term IoT is now bandied about in so many different contexts that its meaning, and the power of the insights it represents, are often lost in the noise. Enabling a device to communicate with the outside world isn’t by itself very interesting. The value of the IoT comes from applications that can make meaning of what securely connected devices have to say – directly and/or inferentially in combination with other devices – and then act on them. Combining sensors and device with analytics can reveal untapped operational efficiencies, create end-to-end process feedback loops, and help streamline and optimize processes. Action can take many forms, from more efficiently managing a building or factory, controlling energy grids, or managing traffic patterns across a city. IoT has the potential to facilitate beneficial decision making that no one device could spur on its own. But that potential can only be realized if the integrity of the information collected from the devices is beyond reproach. Put another way, regardless of how data gathered from IoT are used, they’re only of value if they come from trusted sources and the integrity of the data is assured.

  • Web Service Based Integration of Building Information Systems
    Proceedings of Clima 2007 WellBeing Indoors Web Service based integration of building information systems Veijo Lappalainen and Kalevi Piira VTT, Finland Corresponding email: [email protected] i SUMMARY The development of new information technologies and standards like Internet and WWW, building control networks, data communication protocols, wireless sensors, mesh networks, product data technologies etc. enables the development of the intelligent, real­time buildings and related new business models in the marketplace of real estate information systems. On of the most promising integration technology in this context is Web Services technologies. The paper first introduces the starting points as well as needs and future challenges for the devel• opment. Basic generic ideas of Web Services technologies are then introduced. Main consid­ eration is thereafter focused to the introduction of standard based building automation Web Services approaches: BACnet Web Services and Open Building Information Exchange (oBIX). The basic ideas and concepts of these two methods will be introduced and discussed. INTRODUCTION The operation and maintenance of buildings have become dependent on various building automation and information systems (HVAC control, electricity and lighting control, burglar alarm, access control, CCTV), technical building management systems (energy management, FM, BIM) and financial • administrative systems (accounting, personnel administration, rent­ ing, space management). In addition, integration of building systems with enterprise systems is becoming more and more important. These existing building information systems are typically fragmented and isolated from each other forming “automation islands”, which do not communicate together. A consequence of this can be the different systems contain overlapping information, which creates a risk for data integrity.
