The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into buildings has given rise to the concept of "smart buildings" - intelligent and adaptive structures that leverage interconnected devices, sensors, and data analytics to optimise operations, enhance sustainability, and improve occupant experiences. This thesis provides a comprehensive overview of IoT applications in smart buildings, exploring the various domains in which these technologies are being implemented and their impacts. Key areas of focus include building automation systems for HVAC, lighting, and access control, which enable efficient management and real-time adjustments based on occupancy and user preferences. Energy management and optimisation strategies, facilitated by IoT monitoring and control capabilities, lead to significant reductions in energy consumption and operating costs. Predictive maintenance and asset tracking solutions, powered by IoT sensor data, extend equipment lifespan and optimise
resource utilization. The role of IoT in promoting sustainability is highlighted, with applications in monitoring indoor environmental quality, integrating renewable energy sources, and encouraging energy-efficient occupant behaviour. Safety and security aspects are also explored, including IoT-enabled access control, surveillance, and
emergency response systems. Challenges and considerations surrounding data privacy, interoperability, scalability, and user acceptance are discussed. The paper further delves into successful case studies, lessons
learned, and future trends, such as the convergence of IoT with artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital twin technologies. By providing a comprehensive analysis of IoT applications in smart buildings, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse and advancement of these transformative technologies, ultimately supporting the development of more intelligent, sustainable, and occupant-centric built environments.
