Book Description
This comprehensive guide explores the integration of information systems and applications in smart buildings, emphasizing their crucial role in achieving a low‑carbon economy through optimal energy efficiency and cost reduction.
This book provides cutting‑edge insights into smart energy planning, including tidal energy forecasting using machine learning algorithms like XGBoost and Long Short‑Term Memory (LSTM), and Internet of Things (IoT)‑driven weather monitoring systems for urban smart buildings. Key features include practical implementations of serverless file management systems, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) automation for Industry 4.0 applications, and Field‑Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)‑based solar‑powered Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations supporting sustainable infrastructure. Readers will benefit from the comprehensive coverage of cognitive security systems, GPS‑integrated building automation, and ESP32‑powered smart home automation. The publication addresses critical security considerations through vulnerability analysis in smart meters, ensuring robust implementations. These technologies enable significant energy efficiency improvements, operational cost savings, and enhanced property values while supporting sustainable environmental practices.
This publication serves developing and third‑world nations where smart building technology is evolving, making it particularly relevant for universities, engineers, architects, and real estate entities implementing advanced building automation systems. The primary audience includes engineering professionals, construction organizations, property managers, and IT specialists requiring practical guidance for creating outstanding customer experiences while achieving substantial energy efficiency gains. This book also appeals to academic researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals focused on sustainable building design and smart city development initiatives.

O.V. Gnana Swathika(Member ’11–Senior Member ʼ20, IEEE, MIET) earned a BE degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Madras University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, in 2000; an MS in Electrical Engineering at Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA, in 2004; and a PhD in Electrical Engineering at VIT University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, in 2017. She completed her postdoctoral research at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka in 2019. She is currently working as a Professor and Deputy Director at Centre for Smart Grid Technologies, Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai, India. Her current research interests include microgrid protection, power system optimization, embedded systems, and photovoltaic systems.
K. Karthikeyanis an electrical and electronics engineering graduate with a master’s in personnel management from the University of Madras. With two decades of extensive experience in electrical design, he has contributed significantly to the building services sector comprising airports, Information Technology Office Space (ITOS), tall statues, railway stations/depots, hospitals, educational institutional buildings, residential buildings, hotels, steel plants, and automobile plants in India and abroad (Sri Lanka, Dubai, and the UK). Currently, he is Chief Engineering Manager – Electrical Designs for Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Construction, an Indian multinational Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contracting company. He has also worked at Voltas, ABB, and Apex Knowledge Technology Private Limited. His primary role involves the preparation and review of complete electrical system designs up to 110 kV, at the detailed engineering stage covering various electrical design calculations, design basis reports, construction-ready drawings, as well as Mechanical Electrical Plumbing (MEP) design coordination. He is the point of contact for both client and internal project teams, and also leads and manages a team of design and divisional personnel. His responsibilities include day-to-day interaction with clients, peer review, managing project deadlines, project time estimation, assisting in staff appraisals, training, and recruiting.
