The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to create smart buildings by uniting disparate facility systems into an integrated whole. With the IoT it can be possible to manage and control temperatures, ventilation, lighting, access, parking, room occupancy, elevators and energy usage in a facility, either on-site or remotely.
IoT applications sound futuristic but many of them are available now. All building automation systems (BAS) contractors and integrators will be fielding questions and requests from customers about the IoT for buildings this year, so being prepared with thoughtful answers is essential.
GS Technologies Ltd (LON:GST), through its subsidiary, EMS Wiring Systems Pte. Ltd, provides services in the “Smart Building” sector. Smart Building is a diverse term that refers to the technological capabilities of buildings and other work place facilities.
