Building monitoring via LoRaWAN

What is building monitoring?

Building monitoring is a surveillance system that monitors the operation and safety of a building. This is made possible through the use of sensors, cameras, software and other technologies. This allows data to be collected and analyzed in real time or at regular intervals. The knowledge gained from this can be used to optimize building technology, reduce energy consumption and operating costs, and enhance building security.

From energy management to indoor air quality to security monitoring, modern building monitoring provides a comprehensive view of a building's performance and condition in real time. Today, the possibilities extend far beyond simple alarm systems or thermostats.

The main benefits of building monitoring include:

• Improved efficiency: optimized operation and thus reduction of energy and resource consumption.
• Lower operating costs: Reduction of operating and maintenance costs through more efficient use of resources.
• Improved security: Appropriate monitoring systems can avert burglaries, vandalism, fires and other dangers in good time.
• Increasing comfort: Continuous monitoring of indoor air quality increases comfort and can prevent damage to the building such as mold growth.
• Early detection of technical problems: Leaks, malfunctions and overloads of the technical building infrastructure can be detected at an early stage before they lead to major damage.
• Improved documentation and tracking: Building monitoring data can be used to document and track the performance of a building. This can be helpful when planning maintenance and improvements.
