IoT Data Standards Provide the Foundation for Smart Buildings
{"Image ImageDescription": "IT Best Practices: Intel\u2019s smart factories use highly specialized Internet of Things (IoT) data specifications that make it possible to bring new factories online quickly and reliably by replicating identical processes from one facility to another. Imagine being able to do the same thing with other buildings, such as offices and airports. These buildings present different challenges than manufacturing facilities because, rather than data-based measures, they often use performance-based measures that can vary, such as green\u2014or sustainability\u2014certification. Without highly defined data specifications individual suppliers may be unaware of integration requirements between automated components, resulting in costly delays and rework.\n\nIntel IT, in partnership with Intel\u2019s Internet of Things Group and industry-wide organizations, is leading the effort to establish IoT data standards and messaging protocols for smart buildings that allow vendors to provide integrated solutions. With these standards in place, functionality in non-manufacturing building projects can become as reliable, repeatable, and cost-effective as it is in Intel\u2019s smart factories.\n\nThe benefits\u2014energy and cost efficiency, occupant comfort, better security, and state-of-the-art connectivity\u2014are evident in implementations like Intel\u2019s Smart Building and Venue Experience Center in Chandler, Arizona. This smart stadium combines multiple functions into a unique, human-focused experience. But reaping the benefits of smart buildings requires a shift from performance-based standards to data-based standards, as well as closer working relationships between IT organizations and facilities management.\n\nOur aim to develop IoT standards for smart buildings will allow us to use a Copy Exactly process for Intel\u2019s office buildings, similar to what we use for our factories\u2014in essence, Intel\u2019s office buildings will become as \u201csmart\u201d as Intel\u2019s factories.data-based standards, information technology, Intel, Intel IT, Internet of Things, IoT, IoT Data Standards, IT Best Practices, IT Business Value, IT Whitepaper, IT@Intel, pdf, performance-based standards, smart building standards, Smart Buildings", "Image Orientation": "Horizontal (normal)", "Image XResolution": "143993/1000", "Image YResolution": "143993/1000", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2016:05:04 05:32:40", "Image Artist": "IT Best Practices", "Image ExifOffset": "2416", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "72", "Thumbnail YResolution": "72", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "2554", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "6276", "EXIF ColorSpace": "Uncalibrated", "EXIF ExifImageWidth": "600", "EXIF ExifImageLength": "338"}
