Currently, the available building management solutions are expensive and challenging to support small and medium-sized buildings. Unfortunately, not all buildings are intelligent, making it difficult to obtain such data from energy measurement devices and appliances or access such information. The internet of things (IoT) opens new opportunities to support real-time monitoring and control to achieve future smart buildings. This work proposes an IoT platform for remote monitoring and control of smart buildings, which consists of four-layer architecture: power layer, data acquisition layer, communication network layer, and application layer. The proposed platform allows data collection for energy consumption, data storage, and visualization. Various sensor nodes and measurement devices are considered to collect information on energy use from different building spaces. The proposed solution has been designed, implemented, and tested on a university campus considering three scenarios: an office, a classroom, and a laboratory. This work provides a guideline for future implementation of intelligent buildings using low-cost open-source solutions to enable building automation, minimize power consumption costs, and guarantee end-user comfort.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22239045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,22]],"date-time":"2022-11-22T08:29:58Z","timestamp":1669105798000},"page":"9045","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Toward an Intelligent Campus: IoT Platform for Remote Monitoring and Control of Smart Buildings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0507-5111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed A.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Universidad T\u00e9cnica Federico Santa Mar\u00eda, Valpara\u00edso 2390123, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sebastian A.","family":"Chavez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Universidad T\u00e9cnica Federico Santa Mar\u00eda, Valpara\u00edso 2390123, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9831-7182","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali M.","family":"Eltamaly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Mansoura University, Mansoura 35516, Egypt"},{"name":"Sustainable Energy Technologies Center, King Saud University, Riyadh 11421, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7809-708X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo O.","family":"Garces","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento Ingenier\u00eda Inform\u00e1tica, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de la Sant\u00edsima Concepci\u00f3n, Concepci\u00f3n 4090541, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3867-6909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro J.","family":"Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento Ingenier\u00eda El\u00e9ctrica, Universidad de Concepci\u00f3n, Victor Lamas 1290, Concepci\u00f3n 4070386, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1736-0710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young-Chon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 561-756, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, June 10).
