Abstract

Smart building is based on the development of information technology. With certain controlling technologies integrated in buildings, it can help buildings achieve energy reduction and convenience. In this chapter, five main parts of smart building are introduced which are Building Automation System (BAS), Office Automation System (OAS), Communication Automation System (CAS), Generic Cabling System (GCS), and Building Management System (BMS). It also introduces the fundamentals of smart building including the classification of control system which are Operation Guiding System, Direct Digital Control System, Supervisory Computer Control System, Distribution Control System, and Fieldbus Control System. After the fundamentals, three smart building energy applications are discussed in the chapter which are demand-driven HVAC operation management, indoor localization-based smart building service, and home energy management systems. Finally, two cases about an office building and smart apartments are discussed as case study.
