Standards help develop safe and reliable technologies for intelligent buildings
Modern buildings increasingly employ digital technologies and sensors to monitor and manage lighting, heating and ventilation, security, and other systems. Intelligent technologies can make buildings more energy efficient and comfortable for their occupants, as well as less expensive to operate. However, with the growing capabilities and sophistication of sensors and connected devices, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of intelligent building systems is critical.
CSA Group standards-based solutions offer a system-level approach to interoperability, communication, digital privacy, and cyber-safety of intelligent building technologies, systems, and components. Our standards and research address:
- information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure and its data-related component within intelligent buildings
- safety, security, and privacy of residential, institutional, and commercial buildings and their occupants
- interconnection, integration, and interaction of systems within the building, and connections with external networks
- management systems for administration, implementation, and maintenance of intelligent building systems
Standards and codes for intelligent buildings can become building blocks that support future smart cities.
