Core Concepts
Smart buildings are essential components of smart cities, integrating technology for sustainability and efficiency.
Abstract
The whitepaper introduces the concept of smart buildings within the IEEE-GDL CCD working group.
It emphasizes open standards for interoperability and showcases two building projects in Guadalajara.
Smart buildings optimize physical structures, systems, services, and management for enhanced functionality and comfort.
Layers of a smart building include physical structure, connectivity, and software, each crucial for efficient operations.
Services like lighting, HVAC, water management, waste management, parking, security, and more are vital components.
Standards like LEED and BREEAM are highlighted for environmental sustainability in smart buildings.
The proposal outlines two projects in Guadalajara: "The Digital Creative Complex" and "The Ingenium Campus."
Future perspectives involve learning from these projects to enhance smart city initiatives.
Stats
Open standards are claimed to increase interoperability between layers and services.
Both LEED gold certification and BREEAM excellent level are recommended for green sustainability in smart buildings.
