Abstract

In this paper the author examines the prospect and benefits of remote building control. The convergence of Internet technology and building management systems is likely to transform facilities management. The paper explores the nature of this convergence. Information ranging from individual light sensor outputs to strategic occupancy data will be accessible to secure users on the Internet. The discussion considers what form this will take and some of the hurdles that need to be addressed.
