The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects, devices, vehicles, buildings and other items that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. One of the application domains of IoT is smart building where a number of things are efficiently interconnected in order to combine and integrate the physical world to the information space and to provide the services in an effici...

Smart buildings conserve energy and create a responsive, comfortable, productive indoor environment for users occupants. As crucial component of smart buildings, building management system (SBMS) should provide wide range functions bring about the intended benefits upon successful deployment. This paper identifies salient SBMS attributes explores key factors influencing professionals’ intention...

Information technology applications have proven effective in the maintenance of constructed facilities. The objective of the study is to enhance building maintenance using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. A data management module is first developed to collect building usage and maintenance data. A statistical module is then established to graphically display the collected data....

The article addresses the problem of intelligent analysis and evaluation of facility management data gathered from heterogeneous sources, including environmental data collected from building automation sensors, temporal weather characteristics and scheduling. We suggest the framework of analytical model, based on deriving descriptors which could sentinel the level of thermal comfort of working ...

The authors are collaborating with a manufacturer of custom built steel frame modular units which are then transported for rapid erection onsite (volumetric building system). As part of its strategy to develop modular housing, Enemetric, is taking the opportunity to develop intelligent buildings, integrating a wide range of sensors and control systems for optimising energy efficiency and direct...

the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of vierendeel panel width and vertical truss spacing ratio in an inelastic behavior of the stf system due to earthquake loads. the stf system is applied to a six-storey building that serves as apartments [2]. the stf system is used in the building in the transverse direction (n-s direction), while in the longitudinal direction (w-e direction)...
