Global warming has changed our planet considerably and the extreme weather is becoming more and more frequently. Countries around the world have signed the international agreements committing to reduce carbon emissions. According to statistics, buildings account for almost 50% of the total carbon dioxide emissions, which is far more than transport and industry. So, how can smart buildings achieve energy saving and carbon reduction?
The use of technologies such as edge computing and IoT in smart buildings enables rapid response to real-time monitoring while deepening the ability to mine data. This technology helps to save energy and reduce carbon emissions, and promotes the harmonious coexistence of buildings and nature.
By installing an gateway di edge computing inside a smart building, the following benefits can be gained:
1. The gateway can monitor temperature, humidity, air quality and lighting in real time
2. The gateway can transmit and process massive amounts of data generated by sensors in real time
3. The system can make decisions in a short period of time so as to control the air conditioning system to the lowest energy consumption state
In the lighting system of smart buildings, using edge computing gateways can enable intelligent adjustment of the on/off status of lighting fixtures based on natural conditions such as light. By conducting intelligent analysis and control through gateways, unnecessary energy loss can be avoided, thereby creating a low-carbon and environmentally friendly smart building environment.
Building Automation Systems (BAS) are the core of smart building low-voltage systems, responsible for real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of the internal environment of buildings. By using an edge computing gateway, it is possible to realize instant warning and rapid response to the system. It significantly improves the intelligent control level of the system and reduces the labor intensity of the operation manager.
The introduction of edge computing gateways not only greatly enhances the intelligence of buildings, but also brings more convenient and comfortable living experiences to residents. It accelerates the intelligent development of the construction industry and makes an important contribution to building smart and eco-friendly smart cities.
