A smart commercial building uses advanced IoT sensors to collect data from building functions and subsystems. This data is integrated into a Building Management System (BMS) that building operators can use to automate, control, and optimize building performance. Some key benefits of smart commercial buildings include improved energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and better tenant experiences through use cases like HVAC, lighting, security, and maintenance management. However, transforming older buildings and optimizing existing smart buildings presents challenges related to data integration across different systems and ensuring reliable connectivity.

3. Smart Commercial
Building
Commercial buildings are a lot more than steel, brick, wood, glass and stone. They are complex environments with a
variety of power, networking, heating, cooling, security, and other subsystems, all of which need to be managed for the
building to be comfortable, safe and efficient.
Increasingly, building operators are using the IoT to collect data from building subsystems, allowing them to make these
building “smart” in ways that help them better regulate their temperatures, enhance their security, minimize their energy
use, and otherwise increase the value they deliver to tenants and owners.

4. How Does a Smart Commercial Building
Work?
• Smart commercial building have advanced IoT sensors in place to collect data from various building functions and
subsystems, data that the building’s operator can use to both automate and enhance the building’s operations and
maintenance.
• For example, building operators can use this smart building IoT data to identify operational inefficiencies in their
building, improve building controls, and automate key building-management tasks, including heat and lighting
management.
• However, to do this the operator needs to integrate their IoT data into a Building-Management System (BMS), which
the operator can then use to control and automate building functions, as well as process for valuable insights. In large
commercial buildings various BMSs are often integrated into IT applications that allow them to share information with
each other, helping the building’s operator further optimize the building performance. Some larger commercial building
operators also integrate IoT data from multiple smart buildings into cloud-based IT applications, where it can be
analyzed for further insights.
• Today many modern buildings have IoT sensors and connectivity infrastructure embedded into their structure during
their construction. However, older buildings often need to be retrofit with IoT sensors and connectivity infrastructure to
make them smart.
What Are Some Smart Commercial Building Use Cases?
• Building operators can use the control, automation and insights that IoT technology brings to smart buildings for
various use cases – including use cases that help them increase energy efficiency, lower building management
costs, and improve their tenants’ experiences.
• These smart building use cases include:
1. Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC)
2. Lighting
3. Security
4. Working Environments
5. Maintenance

5. What are Some Common Smart Commercial Building Challenges?
While smart buildings offer a wide variety of benefits to building operators, owners, and tenants, transforming an older building
into a smart building or optimizing the operation of an existing smart building does not come without challenges.
Two of the most common challenges include:
Collecting and Integrating Data: Older buildings and many other smart building IoT projects will have existing equipment that uses
legacy and sometimes proprietary data formats for reporting their operating metrics. Extracting data out of these systems and
integrating it into BMSs and other IT systems can be complex, and requires both hardware and programming knowledge. In fact,
ABI Research cites integration as one of the most important tasks when designing a IoT smart building solution. In addition to
extracting data from a wide number of assets, building operators need platforms that can ingest data from all of these sensors and
interact with their buildings’ automation systems.
Connectivity: In addition to the challenges associated with extracting data from IoT sensors and building assets and ingesting it
into BMSs and other IT applications, it can be difficult for smart building application developers and operators to securely and
reliably connect their buildings’ sensors and assets to their applications (and visa-versa). Moreover, for certain smart building use
cases, such as security access control, this connection also needs the speed and latency required for real-time responses.
Uncertainty surrounding connectivity costs can also make it difficult to estimate the cost of smart building IoT project, hindering a
building operators ability to determine the project’s return on investment.

6. What is an “Intelligent Building”?
• Have a distributed long term and short term
• memory
• Containtenant, O&M, and administration
• service systems
• Be equipped with sensors (stationary and
mobile) for direct or indirect input and
manipulation of signals from users,
systems and the building structure
• Be equipped with actuators for direct or
indirect manipulation installations and the
building structure
• Provide canalization (information roads)
that shall house 'wires' carrying new services
• Beable to handle high band width
• information transfer.

Intelligent buildings are buildings that through their
physical design and IT installations are responsive,
flexible and adaptive to changing needs from its users
and the organizations that inhabit the building during it's
life time. The building will supply services for its
inhabitants, its administration and operation &
maintenance. The intelligent building will accomplish
transparent 'intelligent' behavior, have state memory,
support human and installation systems communication,
and be equipped with sensors and actuators.
Intelligent building characteristics
Be flexible and responsive to different usage
and environmental contexts such as office,
home, hotel, and industry invoking different
kinds of loads from nature, people, and
building systems,
Be able to change states (clearly defined) with
respect to functions and user demands over
time and building spaces (easy to program
and re-program during use)
Support human communication (between
individuals and groups)
Provide transparent intelligence and be simple
and understandable to the users (support
ubiquitous computers and networks)
Accomplish 'intelligent' behavior (self diagnosis,
