Thesis Overview

The project titled "Implementation of Smart Building Automation System using IoT Technology" aims to explore the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in building automation systems to enhance efficiency, convenience, and sustainability in building operations. Building automation systems have become increasingly popular in modern buildings to automate various functions such as lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), security, and energy management. By leveraging IoT technology, which enables the interconnection of devices and data exchange over the internet, the project seeks to create a smart building system that can intelligently monitor, control, and optimize building operations in real-time. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review to examine existing technologies, standards, and research studies related to smart building automation systems and IoT integration. This review will provide a solid foundation for understanding the current state of the art in the field and identifying gaps and opportunities for further research. The literature review will cover topics such as IoT protocols, sensor technologies, cloud computing, data analytics, cybersecurity, and smart building applications. Following the literature review, the research methodology will be outlined, detailing the approach and tools that will be used to design, implement, and evaluate the smart building automation system. The methodology will include the selection of hardware and software components, system architecture design, data collection methods, testing procedures, and performance evaluation metrics. The project will involve the development of a prototype system that integrates IoT devices, sensors, actuators, and a central control unit to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of the proposed solution. The discussion of findings section will present the results and analysis of the experiments conducted to evaluate the performance of the smart building automation system. Key metrics such as energy efficiency, occupant comfort, cost savings, and system reliability will be evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the IoT-enabled automation system. The findings will be compared against traditional building automation systems to highlight the advantages and potential challenges of adopting IoT technology in building management. In the conclusion and summary chapter, the project will summarize the key findings, contributions, and implications of the research. The conclusions drawn from the study will be used to provide recommendations for future research directions, industry applications, policy implications, and practical guidelines for stakeholders interested in implementing smart building automation systems using IoT technology. Overall, the project aims to advance the field of smart buildings by demonstrating the potential of IoT technology to transform traditional building automation systems into intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable environments.
