IEEE-GDL CCD Smart Buildings Introduction

Abstract

As part of the activities of the IEEE-GDL CCD working group of physical infrastructure, this whitepaper is intented to be an initial guide to understand the layers, taxonomy of services and best practices for the development of smart buildings. Open standards are claimed in order to increase interoperability between layers and services. Moreover, two buildings in Guadalajara city, one new and another to renew, are described as a proof of concept under development and being part of the strategy to develop the smart city infrastructure based in a master plan. A discussion will be addressed in order to identify the areas of innovation and opportunities for the smart buildings as the contribution of this document.
