/r/SmartBuildings
A place to post and discuss any new or existing technologies that go towards building Smart/Intelligent Buildings.
Bring anything related to the table: CCTV, Access Control, Intelligent Infrastructure, Lighting, Environmental Control, and Asset Management. More recently deploying Hot Desk and Meeting Room booking systems.
There are many aspects that go into creating a Smart Building and we can discuss them here.

Hi smart building enthusiasts!
we've run our smart building platform oqdo.bos to help people who own and/or operate buildings to run them more effectivly and energy efficient by giving them accesibility, insights and control with some brain inside.
What are your thoughts about?
Predicting the energy consumption of buildings currently in operation is usually treated as a project with a costly survey and simulation engine, or as a complicated excel sheet based on prior data.
I think there is a middle ground between the two where the predictions can be delivered in real time, but still adapt to changing internal (new windows, occupants, schedules) and external (weather, market price) forces.
I'd love to hear from you.
Smart Building:
A Smart Building is an apartment unit with several smart appliances (i.e. door lock, light switch, thermostat, and other building automation devices). These devices are typically managed through a mobile app from a Residentâs smartphone. The main benefits of a Smart Building are comfort, money savings, energy efficiency, etc.
Intelligent Building:
An Intelligent Building links all the Smart Apartment divisions to a building network, giving greater comfort, energy efficiency, and protection to Property Managers and Residents. The Residents have the benefits of a Smart Apartment both within their own unit and within the rest of the building.
It seems the future of sustainability is here, at least at Miamiâs newest solar-powered high-rise, The Residences at 1428 Brickell. The project, recently announced by developer Ytech, is the first project of its kind in the world to integrate photovoltaic glazing within the facade.

I realize it's semantics, but sometimes it seems like there's confusion on what the best "term" is for the broader public who don't understand the nuances of the industry. Thoughts?
Replacing manual with digital processes is one way that engineers can ensure that the world's built spaces use energy as efficiently as possible, writes Carl Coken, vice president of Atrius Engineering, Acuity Brands. This can involve the placement of sensors throughout a project for optimal energy usage, paired with digital twins to provide a wide array of data for operators.

Been doing a bit of reading recently on growth of smart building projects and noticed that consultancy firms like ARUP now have. smart building consultancy services. How is the the consultancy service changing to meet the needs of smart building projects? Is there a difference now between an M&E consultant as opposed to a "smart" consultant or are they the same just different names? Is there different training or roles?
This Digging Deeper episode features an interview with Mark Malekoff, director of Thermal Intelligence - an equipment manufacturer out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Mark and his co-founder used their first-hand experience in dealing with equipment that didnât meet their standards for reliability and efficiency and brought a sustainable solution to construction jobsites.
Unique opportunity to explore sensor and time-series data from 200+ New York buildings, and compete for cash awards. Data sources include building automation systems and connected devices, utility meters, elevators and IoT sensors.
Open to individuals and teams; students, professors, researchers and professionals. The event seeks novel use cases for the provided data set; encourages creativity and data fusion. Ideal submissions are those use cases that positively impact or accelerate the decarbonization of New York State buildings.
Sign Up by April 15th.
Submission by May 30th.
Full Event Details: www.rtemhackathon.com
*will post a free tutorial video series on the API at r/learnmachinelearning and r/learnpython

Today, Buildings IOT released the OAP (Ontology Alignment Project). This open-source ontology includes a data model for a growing list of systems within the built environment and is foundational for improving building management and operations.
The OAP defines both the name and the points associated with building entities as diverse as rooftop units, electric meters, and booster pumps to make their data more readable by machines.
This Book is Written for
Handbook of Ventilation Technology for the Built Environment is a complete guide to the field, providing invaluable information for scientists, researchers and engineers from academia and industry who are looking to broaden or update their knowledge. It is also a useful resource for policy makers, facility managers, regulators and standards bodies in the field.
Researchers at Oxford have developed a new smart window coating that can be tuned on the fly to emit or reflect heat from the Sun in different amounts, reducing the energy costs of heating and cooling by up to a third.
