Summary
Having the capability for first responders to communicate in a building is critical for occupants and the responders themselves. Many standards and common IoT technology solutions have been implemented to ensure uniformity across localities. A new normal post-pandemic building environment is driving new requirements to build access, touchpoints, IAQ, and cleaning solutions, all of which are being solved with IoT smart building technologies.
The next chapter will explain how to enrich building data with location context to make a building smart. Space planning, indoor mapping, people counting and tracking, occupant engagement, asset tracking, and room and desk booking all benefit from location-based information.
