Abstract:
EN: Problem statement. Smart home technologies, often known as “intelligent homes” or
“smart-home” are becoming increasingly common in the modern world.
Building automation systems (BAS) or Building management systems (BMS) are the
basis of smart buildings. Network of sensors, controllers and devices are used in these
systems to automate and optimize building operations, including heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC), lighting, security systems, etc.
The smart buildings technologies are used to increase energy efficiency, occupant
comfort, environmental protection, to provide security, access control and also reduce
operating costs.
The beginning of the use of smart buildings technologies can be considered the early of
the 20th century, when thermostats began to be used for regulation of the indoor temperatures
in buildings.
However, significant development of smart building technologies began in the 1980s
due to the global energy crisis and the need to solve energy efficiency problems in the
residential sector of the economy.
In the 1990s, with the introduction of new technologies such as sensors, automation,
and computer systems that formed the centralized building management system (BMS), the
concept of “smart” buildings significantly evolved. New technologies are already allowed to
control various systems in the building, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and
lighting.
Since the early 2000s, the number of devices for smart buildings has been rapidly
increasing and uniting by in the concept of “Internet of Things” (IoT). IoT devices are
basically smart devices that are connected to the Internet and are able to interact with other devices via the Internet. While the user can remote access to control the devices according to your needs.
