What is a Smart Building?
A Smart Building uses Internet of Things technologies to collect data and make decisions on the usage, maintenance, and operation of crucial building assets. Smart building concepts can be realized in residential homes, offices, commercial buildings, workplaces, factories, and warehouses. The main benefits of Smart Buildings, in turn, include:
- environmental control automation
- data-driven decisions
- optimized building management
- increased occupants' comfort.Â
How Do TEKTELIC Smart Building Solutions Work?
TEKTELIC Smart Building sensors gather data about the environment:
- Humidity
- Temperature
- Motion
- CO2 level
- Occupancy etc.
After that, the data is transmitted to the LoRaWAN® gateway, and packets are forwarded to the network server, which sends the packets to the application or E-Ink display, where users can visualize, analyze, and interpret data.
With our applications for indoor environment monitoring or room occupancy monitoring, you can get real-time updates on conference room availability or air quality and take suitable action.
For instance, if CO2 or temperature is too high, a building manager can regulate the HVAC system accordingly to ensure the best comfort level for guests. The same applies to the room booking application, hotel management can examine the most popular rooms, and peak times of usage and, based on this, add more guest rooms or conversely repurpose seldom used ones. Â
Additionally, room occupancy status and environmental conditions can also be shown on the E-ink display for better guests comfort. They can be mounted on the wall near the meeting room entrances so hotel visitors can check the available time slots and book the space immediately. As for environmental conditions and air quality, such displays can be deployed inside the rooms so guests can check and adjust the HVAC system. Check out TEKTELIC devices:
