“…Smart buildings protect highly sensitive information about their inhabitants and against new privacy threats and vulnerabilities [169]. As such, there is always a need for smart building systems to protect sensitive information [170]. Studies have confirmed that smart buildings with well-provisioned and managed IoT frameworks can maintain the security and privacy of IoT data sources and contexts [171].…”

At present, the smart city offers the most desired state of urban development, encompassing, as it does, the concept of sustainable development. The creation of a smart city is closely associated with upgrading the construction industry to encompass many emerging concepts and technologies, such as Construction 4.0, with its roots in Industry 4.0, and the deployment of building information modeling (BIM) as an essential tool for the construction industry. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the current state of the art and development trajectory of the multidisciplinary integration of Construction 4.0, Industry 4.0, BIM, and sustainable construction in the context of the smart city. It is the first attempt in the literature to use both macro-quantitative analysis and micro-qualitative analysis methods to investigate this multidisciplinary research topic. By using the visual bibliometric tool, VOSviewer, and based on macro keyword co-occurrence, this paper is the first to reveal the five keyword-constructed schemes, research hotspots, and development trends of the smart city, Construction 4.0, Industry 4.0, BIM, and sustainable construction, from 2014 to 2021 (a period of eight years). Additionally, the top 11 productive subject areas have been identified with the help of VOSviewer software keyword-clustering analysis and application. Furthermore, the whole-building life cycle is considered as an aid to identifying research gaps and trends, providing suggestions for future research with the assistance of an upgraded version of BIM, namely, city information modeling (CIM) and the future integration of Industry 5.0 and Construction 5.0, or even of Industry Metaverse with Construction Metaverse.

“…By this type of attack, a malicious customer can reduce his electricity cost while increasing electricity bill of other normal customers. In [44], the authors surveyed and measured user's level of concern regarding the security in SBs. Finally, a number of papers highlight and discuss several potential attacks, vulnerabilities and security risks of SB from a more high level point of view, including [38,39,40,41,43,42].…”

“…In contrast, issues like social engineering and phishing in SB have largely escaped any analysis or further consideration, let alone solutions and defences against these threats. Only one survey goes in this direction [44], with the results suggesting that uses do care about security in SB but that current security mechanisms are not satisfying. In particular, several authentication methods were surveyed with participants preferring the pattern locker.…”

Smart Buildings are networks of connected devices and software in charge of automatically managing and controlling several building functions such as HVAC, fire alarms, lighting, shading and more. These systems evolved from mostly electronic and mechanical elements to complex systems relying on IT and wireless technologies and networks. This exposes smart buildings to new risks and threats that need to be enumerated and addressed. Research efforts have been done in several areas related to security in smart buildings but a clear overview of the research field is missing. In this paper, we present the results of a systematic literature review that provides a thorough understanding of the state of the art in research on the security of smart buildings. We found that the field of smart buildings security is growing significantly in complexity due to the many protocols introduced recently and that the research community is already studying. We also found an important lack of empirical evaluations, though evaluations on testbeds and real systems seems to be growing. Finally, we found an almost complete lack of consideration of non-technical aspects, such as social, organisational, and human factors, which are crucial in this type of systems, where ownership and liability is not always clear.

“…The wireless communication technology, sensors and IoT technology are often used by SB to (1) transmit and analyze data and (2) further control and optimizing building management systems. The combination of IoT solutions is used for automated access control, security systems, lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems [ 4 , 5 ]. Besides the achieved goals of owners, managers and tenants, they are also able to provide a greater efficiency, safety and comfort, with much less costs.…”

The Internet of things presents tremendous opportunities for the energy management and occupant comfort improvement in smart buildings by making data of environmental and equipment parameters more readily and continuously available. Long-range (LoRa) technology provides a comprehensive wireless solution for data acquisition and communication in smart buildings through its superior performance, such as the long-range transmission, low power consumption and strong penetration. Starting with two vital indicators (network transmission delay and packet loss rate), this study explored the coverage and transmission performances of LoRa in buildings in detail. We deployed three LoRa receiver nodes on the same floor and eight LoRa receiver nodes on different floors in a 16-story building, respectively, where data acquisition terminal was located in the center of the whole building. The communication performance of LoRa was evaluated by changing the send power, communication rate, payload length and position of the wireless module. In the current research, the metrics of LoRa were quantified to facilitate its practical application in smart buildings. To the best of our knowledge, this may be the first academic research evaluating RTT performance of LoRa via practical experiments.
