WSN are making buildings green
A recent ON WORLD report “WSN for Smart Buildings” declares this technology’s clean and inexpensive system deployments will result in more buildings using less energy, needing less maintenance, and producing lower carbon emissions. It forecasts global revenues for WSN commercial building solutions will be $2.6 billion, by 2011. As well as 25% of commercial building energy reduction attributed to WSN by 2013, worth $7.4 billion in global energy savings.
It calls several emerging market opportunities for WSN such as lighting control systems, metering, and condition monitoring. And other markets such as lodging, manufacturing, warehousing and data centers, which often lack traditional building control systems, seem to have the highest demands for WSN today.
According to the report, IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee are the winning technologies for WSN solutions in commercial buildings.
