Buildings are an essential part of a city’s ecosystem indeed. Future buildings are designed with smart technologies in order to make people’s lives easier. A smart building is a structure that uses building automation system (BAS) to control building’s HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), lighting, security, etc. It uses internet of things (IoT) enabled devices like sensors, software, actuators, microchips etc. to monitor and control several building characteristics and collect & analyze data to manage the system according to business functions, operations, and services.

Smart building infrastructure with intelligent and adaptable software offers an array of benefits for both the owners and the organization working within. It helps improve their asset reliability and performance, which further, reduces energy usage and minimizes the environmental impact of buildings. Construction of an advanced net-zero energy building can be far more beneficial than that of a conventional building. 

Recently, Nexii Building Solutions has come up with high-performance green building products by using 3D software. This technique has enabled Nexii to abolish a significant amount of construction waste. This way, BAS has increased the productivity of several firms while also improving their building operations, assisting sustainability, and enhancing decision making across the organizations. Today, in most of the developed and developing countries like USA, Canada, China etc., almost all the office buildings, airports, educational facilities, stadiums, hospitals and other healthcare facilities are smart buildings.

Moreover, smart buildings include granular data monitoring and advanced analytics which help in collecting data about every aspect of the building’s operation. Several other technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), broadband wireless, cloud computing and IoT networks & systems have also improved the operational efficiency and enabled a productive environment. IoT sensors can be placed on appliances, walls, ceilings, machinery, doors & windows, etc. in order to handle the power quality monitoring, predictive maintenance, and energy measurements. Advanced analytics involve sophisticated technologies such as statistical algorithm and machine learning capabilities which further help in getting the details of building’s characteristics and energy usage.

Due to such analytical benefits, smart building’s application has tremendously increased in almost all commercial, industrial and residential areas across the globe. Furthermore, the current advancement in BAS technology of smart buildings has led to more usage of cloud computing to tap robust data acquisition and analytics, and thereby, is expected to outsmart hackers to a great extent. Apart from this, there are few other businesses who tend to opt for an independent & dedicated network for their building technology components.
