Summary
Smart building architecture is needed to connect all the various building systems in one platform. While there are many challenges to implementing this, proper planning and attention to a top-down approach can resolve these. We provided four IoT smart building use cases, each demonstrating the application of the IoT device technologies, communication protocols, connectivity, computing, and data management components discussed in the previous chapters, now all pulled together to deliver real results. Connecting all these building systems requires a major focus on cybersecurity from the start.
This chapter demonstrated how to pull these components together to develop smart building applications. In the next chapter, we will explain digital virtual representation and digital twins.
