Web service-based monitoring system for smart management of the buildings

Monitoring the energy use and other important parameters together with third party applications for data access can provide a strong tool for comparative analysis. Easy data interpretation and data maneuverability can bring sufficient information to improve the energy performance of the building. Web services for building monitoring can easily represent the underlying mechanism for decision-making entity in automated or intelligent buildings. The developed software solution is composed of three layers. The first layer processes the data retrieved from sensors through various web services which are lunched by a programmed scheduler. The second layer securely stores the collected data from sensors into database and logging files. The third layer is used by authenticated users to review and export the data in most known formats. The current paper presents how wired sensors' network can easily be used either as a building monitoring solution or as a part of smart management system.
