Smart buildings are all about communication. At the heart of that communication is a building automation and control system that consists of sensors, controllers, communication infrastructure, and computing resources. Sensors send signals through the communication infrastructure to the computing resources that determine control actions and relay the information back to controllers. Seamless two-way data flow is essential.
Proprietary data repositories used by specific vendor devices can make it challenging to integrate such devices into building automation and control systems. This, in turn, makes it difficult to retrieve information stored in controllers and smart devices.
Open-source data models use standard naming conventions and taxonomies for building equipment and operational data. Building automation and control systems built on such data models make it easy to gather critical information on building systems and conditions and use that information to control the building environment. The result is improved performance, optimized efficiency, and better occupant experiences.
Open-source Data Models Transform Building Automation and Control Systems
Open-source software for building automation and control systems has very permissive licenses and public and collaborative development practices. In most cases, the open-source data models are available to developers free of charge, reducing the cost of building automation system platforms developed on the existing database technologies. The key benefits of using open-source data for building automation and control systems include:
A Smart Building Integration Platform Takes You Further
The performance of a building automation and control system depends on the integration and intelligent use of building data.
