Developing Network for Smart Building Management

Explain the management of smart buildings

Any structure that is known to use the automated processes in order to control the

operations of a building is referred to as a smart building. The operations that occur in these

structures are usually controlled automatically. Dean and Kelley argues that some of the

operations that occur in the smart buildings include air conditioning, ventilation, heating, lighting

and many more (25). A smart building is also known to use microchips, sensors as well as

actuators. These are used to collect as well as manage data according to the services and

functions that the business is doing. As a result, the infrastructure becomes very useful to both

the operators, owners and facility managers as well since it improves on performance and

reliability.

The management of smart buildings is very organized. The smart buildings focus far

beyond the equipment that is used to build within the four walls. The building connects the

structure to all its functions by the aid of a very advanced technology in order to provide services

like connecting to the smart power grid as well as connecting people with efficient and good

services (Sinopoli,196). In addition to this, improve in technology helps in integrating the

individual building systems. As a result, a more comfortable and secure environment is created.

Some of the equipment found in smart buildings include chiller plants, fire alarms, and

pumps, heating devises, water meters, power meters and chiller plants. All these ought to have

control systems as well as sensors so that they can be closely monitored hence easy to detect any

anomalies. The buildings that are at the most advanced stage and have used the most effective

technology have elevators, escalators and shading systems (Dean and Kelley, 68).

Smart-Devices

According to Sinopoli, a smart device is an electronic instrument that is connected to

other networks or devices through various wireless tools like the Bluetooth (61). At some extent,

smart devices operate both autonomously and interactively. Smart devices include phablets,

smart bands, smart key chains as well as smartwatches. Smart devices can be used in different

environments like human centered environments, distributed computing environments as well as

the physical world environment. The smart devices support different range of properties as well

as factors hence they are very effective in terms of usability and efficiency.

IP CCTV

Internet protocol camera are digital video cameras that are used for surveillance purposes.

These cameras can send and receive any form of data through the internet or a computer

network. Most of the cameras that do this are webcams (Casini, 59). The IP cameras are also

known as the IP CCTV cameras, Network cameras, security cameras as well as web cameras.

Most of these cameras are now available as the multi-megapixel cameras. There are two types of

the IP CCTV cameras and they include the centralized and the decentralized cameras. The

centralized cameras must have a central network video recorder while the decentralized one does

not require the NVR.

The IP security cameras have a wide range of features. These features help one record the

video in the HD quality by adjusting to the change of light and focusing the camera remotely.

This makes them easy to adjust according to the surveillance needs (Sinopoli,73). The way the
