Introduction 

IoT has tremendous applications, one of its applications related to Smart homes and buildings will be discussed. Smart buildings include office buildings, healthcare buildings, and retail buildings. 

 Smart buildings here are nothing but building management, maintenance, and security-monitored and connected systems using IoT(Internet of Things) devices and applications. 

The three main components using both automation and smart trend in the smart building include the hardware, software apps/programs, and lastly verbal interaction protocols. The other components which are included consist of a smart sensor, an AI-based system, and a dashboard for tracking real-time information in correlation with the above three major components.

Businesses worldwide promote this type of technology and smart trends to improve the lifestyle, a better convenient workplace, smarter and more productive place to live. Around 80%  of businesses have experienced growth in efficiency in smart building systems using the IoT ecosystem. 

It concerns the installation and usage of cutting-edge technology and combines building technology approaches. The smart system's devices are connected with wired and wireless connectivity.

Features of Smart Building Applications

• Space utilization and Optimization in workplaces can be done by having smart building data for operation, and maintenance purposes as well.
• IoT helps in real-time asset tracking of valuables and prevents the loss of products or equipment.
• Lighting management is one of the crucial parts of the smart system which aims at energy efficiency and light control with the help of an intelligent IoT-enabled sensor. 
• Smart household applications, smart locks, and switches are included in smart home automation technology to help the homeowner monitor and control his/her home more smartly.
• Sound Detection is one of the features in smart buildings for analyzing events to enhance their productivity and healthy surroundings, ensure safety, and energy saving. 
• 24 x 7 monitoring can be done by video surveillance and analytics using a video camera and dashboards for security motives. 
• Smart parking system features enable the user to park, and unpark the vehicles at available spaces can be noticed with help of a web or mobile app. 
• HVAC(Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) using IoT can be used for improving and maintaining the comfort conditions, security, and dependability, and enabling fault detection and diagnosis in the system. 

Benefits of Smart Building Applications 

The benefits of IoT-enabled smart building applications include:

1. Lowering energy consumption: With the installation of the latest smart building system, one can reduce the consumption of lights in societies, which can attain sustainability and increase efficiency.
2. The intelligent system saves and lowers costs: It leads to the reduction in the maintenance costs of buildings and helps in detecting the pending costs left or needs to spend.
3. Increase in productivity and security and reduction in energy consumption.
4. Improving the efficiency of buildings and the smart building also allows for predictive maintenance.
