Performance evaluation and prospects of IoT-driven intelligent building management systems in urban environments
Abstract
Everything will change with how Intelligent Building Management Systems (IBMS) driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) turn inside-out operational methods in urban buildings. Building management systems using IoT technology collect and analyze real-time data with enhanced energy efficiency, maximum occupant comfort, strengthening security measures, and enabling predictive maintenance. This paper overviews the significant components, benefits, applications, and challenges associated with IoT-driven IBMS in urban environments. The paper also deliberates upon new trends and prospective developments.Keywords:
