Smart Building Technologies and IoT Applications Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

Smart buildings combine connected assets, automation platforms and operational data to create responsive, efficient facilities. This course gives participants the technical and managerial framework needed to select, integrate, secure and scale practical IoT applications.

Objectives

• Explain smart-building architectures, protocols and integration layers.
• Select sensors and connectivity options for facility applications.
• Integrate IoT platforms with BMS, CMMS and enterprise systems.
• Convert building data into operational insights and decisions.
• Design use cases for energy, maintenance, safety and experience.
• Manage cybersecurity, privacy and data-governance risks.
• Evaluate investment cases and measurable technology benefits.
• Develop a phased roadmap for smart-building implementation.
