Abstract

In modern Smart Buildings, systems monitor and regulate energy consumption, lighting levels, humidity and other environmental factors. However, with the number of data sources increasing, the resulting information glut can reduce decision making efficiency for facility management. A promising technique to mitigate this problem is the use of an integration platform allowing smart applications to process the volume of data and aid in reducing information overload for facility managers and others, such as maintenance engineers who utilise the data. This paper presents an approach for managing data volumes by only routing the data to users or smart applications that have expressly requested it. Experiences with a prototype implementation are also described.
