Why Smart Buildings Need PoE Technology
Aug 21, 2023
Companies must embrace the digital disruption to stay relevant, profitable and attract talent.
So what does this mean for the real estate world?
Internet of Things (IoT) is the central tenet of smart buildings where devices collect and share data about themselves, their users, their environments, and the other devices with which they connect. This data provides insights allowing businesses to maximize energy savings, optimize space and improve employee wellbeing and productivity.
PoE technology has advantages
· Reduce up-front construction costs and time to completion when used for cabling, installation, and configuration. There is also a dramatic reduction in carbon footprint, since no conduit or high-voltage copper wiring need to be installed.
· Lower capital expenditures, labor, and materials costs related to construction and maintenance.
· Allow for greater flexibility in design and placement.
· Enable the optimization and quantification of energy consumption by using the building's network as a sensor and interconnecting shades. This saves money and reduces carbon footprint.
· Require less energy, run cooler, and be a smaller form factor since no AC/DC transforming or transformer is required.
```· Use pervasive 90W LEDCET Power Over Ethernet (POE++) to power, monitor, and control LED lighting, IoT devices.
