Article #1826 - ASHRAE TC 7.5 Smart Building Systems

The Technical Committee on Smart Building Systems (SBS), TC 7.5, is concerned with the development and evaluation of technologies that could enable the widespread application of smart building systems. "Smart" buildings should take advantage of automation, communications, and data analysis technologies in order to operate in the most cost-effective manner. This implies integration of building services such as HVAC, fire, security, and transportation; the automation of many of the operation and maintenance functions traditionally performed by humans; and the interaction with outside service providers such as utilities, energy providers, and aggregators. Currently, three subcommittees form the backbone of the TC�s activities: technology development, communications and integration, and testing and evaluation. In particular: the building/utility interface committee.
