Abstract

New technologies, such as machine-to-machine networking, and a demand for energy-efficient buildings and security are driving the building automation market forward. The use of low cost wireless sensor networks (WSN) provides many advantages for sustainable building automation solutions. In this paper, we analyzed the WSN related requirements for sustainable building automation operations and maintenance. We used the three sustainability dimensions, economic, environment and social, to gather the requirements. The requirement analysis resulted in 10 requirements aiming at maximization of energy conservation, lowering of operation and maintenance costs while taking into accounts the users’ or occupants’ preferences, comfort, and safety.
