Relation between Smart Building Data and Smart Cities

As you know, a strong relationship exists between Smart Cities and smart homes or buildings because smart
cities are the evolution of smart homes. As you know, we live in the 21st century where IoT(Internet Of Things)
has enough capability to change the world. The field of IoT is directly proportional to home automation i.e.,
expansion in the field of IoT increases the necessity of home automation exponentially. In this section, you will
learn how the data of smart buildings is beneficial for smart cities.

Here are some simple points about the relation between smart building data and smart cities:

u Sharing Information: Smart buildings collect data (like energy use and temperature) that can help cities
understand how to use resources better.

u Protecting the Environment: Smart building data can help cities be eco-friendly by using less energy and
being more careful with resources.

u Making Cities Safer: The data can also make cities safer by helping detect fires or improving security.
u Improving Life Quality: By using this data, cities can make transportation, waste management, and air
quality better, making life nicer for everyone.

u Creating New Ideas: Using smart building data encourages people to come up with new ideas and technology
to make cities better.

u Saving Money: Smart buildings help cities save money by using things like energy more efficiently.
