Saving this summer with IoT: Energy, water and light
Summer is one of the most exciting times of the year. School is out, the weather is great and the countdown to vacation begins. But while the summer brings with it a lot of fun activities, it also brings the potential for higher energy and water consumption, which equals higher bills for personal, business and commercial real estate uses. It’s inevitable that commercial businesses will consume more energy and water during June, July and August with increased usage of cooling systems, lighting and water, but technology can help. The smallest changes can make a huge difference in lowering energy costs and, thanks to smart building technologies offering remote real-time monitoring and control of buildings, it’s possible.

Making buildings smarter
The emergence of a different wireless technology can have a major impact on the reach and cost-effectiveness of implementing Building Management Systems’ (BMS) into smart buildings. Companies have primarily had to rely on disparate building management systems which involve a significant amount of local, manual interaction, low automation, and dedicated infrastructure per application. However new LoRa low power, long range technology introduces a long range and low power consumption which enables a more integrated solution to address commercial building management systems at a reduced cost for both installation and operation.

LoRa Technology: Connecting our IoT-Enabled Homes and Buildings
As the Internet of Things (IoT) industry continues to expand, developers are working tirelessly to create new applications to grow with it. When we look at Commercial Real Estate (CRE) in particular, there’s a high demand for servicing on a larger scale – and with that, finding the appropriate wireless protocol is imperative for smart homes and buildings to seamlessly and safely function. LoRa Technology, a solution that is rapidly expanding, is a long range, low power wireless platform that has become the technology of choice for IoT networks. The LoRaWAN open specification is a low-power, wide-area networking (LPWAN) protocol based on LoRa Technology. The LoRaWAN protocol is specifically designed to wirelessly connect battery operated devices and things, which is very important for this industry in particular. Read more
