Building Automation Systems in the World of Internet of Things

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Components and Services for IoT Platforms

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the most common wired and wireless protocols which can be used in building automation and building management systems. In addition, it provides insight to the KNX standard for home and building automation by providing architectural and functional details of what we will name as “KNX of Things,” emphasizing on aspects like energy savings, safety, and comfort. The chapter presents also a real life case study where KNX related infrastructure is designed and implemented in an attempt to combine the world of KNX of Things with the world of Internet of Things.
