IOT in Building Controls
With the advent of IOT (Internet of Things) and the IP revolution, building controls such as BMS, fire safety and security systems will soon become ‘Do-it-Yourself’ kits. Site related engineering service support will be made available online. We will soon witness smart fire alarm sensors, IP access card readers, pre-engineered ‘plug and play’ HVAC devices, virtual networks, wireless charging, cloud based BMS and ELV software, off-site engineering and testing, commissioning and more. In short, most engineering requirements on-site will only need virtual support via online platforms, revolutionising the construction industry and making installation, engineering, testing and commissioning easier processes.
