Designing Interfaces to Display Sensor Data: A Case Study in the Human-Building Interaction Field Targeting a University Community

With the continuous emergence of new technologies and the efficient and convenient development of people’s daily life and work, the topic of intelligent building is becoming more and more hot. There are two kinds of data in intelligent building, namely static data and dynamic data. The digital expression of intelligent building is realized through the fusion and interaction of these two kinds of data. The building information model (BIM) stores a large amount of static data, including size, material, color and other data, while the Internet of Things (IoT) collects real-time dynamic data, including temperature, humidity, light and other data, through sensors in every space within the building. The related problems of building data management in the design and operation and maintenance stages mainly include data collection relying on manual work, low data processing efficiency, scattered and disorderly data storage, difficult data interaction, slow speed, and low data visualization. In order to solve these problems, this paper combines the characteristics and advantages of BIM and IoT technology, analyzes the interaction and application value of BIM and IoT technology in the design and operation and maintenance stage of intelligent buildings, and constructs a data management system based on the Internet of things, a 3D visualization technology based on BIM, and an operation and maintenance management platform based on BIM and IoT. The application of BIM and IoT technology in the design and operation and maintenance stage of intelligent buildings has promoted the development of the construction industry. The Internet of Things can provide many functional services, such as real-time monitoring, remote tracking, automatic update, plan management and a series of personalized services and management, to achieve the management, control and detection of various things, and ensure the high-speed and effective operation of the system. The emergence of the building system of modern communication network technology has brought many conveniences to people, and there is still a broad space for development. The combination of new Internet of Things technology and intelligent buildings will certainly be an important development direction.

In an era where buildings are increasingly becoming multifaceted entities, the paradigm of smart buildings has witnessed significant evolution. This advancement integrates sophisticated communication technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics. Intending to design an effective smart building monitoring system, this research paper explores and compares various solutions for measuring building parameters by identifying a broad spectrum of review articles considering building occupant behavior, sensor deployment, and implementation complexity. The objective of our paper is to compile diverse information on various sensors used for monitoring building conditions and provide a comprehensive overview of data structuring and processing, all within a single article. Additionally, this paper addresses the challenges of combining data from decentralized systems and the need for managerial tools to optimize user experiences. The findings contribute to the advancement of smart building management, offering valuable insights for improving building performance and user experience as well as evaluating future research directions in this field. This review is designed to serve as an introduction for anyone venturing into the field of building monitoring.
