Abstract
In the recent engineering advances the convergence of internet, communication and information technologies will pave the way for new generation. Smart buildings have been equipped with different electronic devices on the basis of Internet of Things (IoT), therefore they are becoming smarter than before. This article surveys the work on occupancy monitoring, energy saving system and security requirements through IoT which is an essential part of smart building. Moreover, we analyze the main parameters that should be considered to be included in any building energy management. This proposed occupancy monitoring develops effective data fusion techniques for improving occupancy monitoring accuracy using multitude of sources. To demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this system, devices such as IR sensors and camera can be integrated with the smart building system
Keywords: Infrared (IR), Internet of Things (IoT), heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), building management techniques (BMS)
