How Can Smart Buildings Enabled by IoT Technology Accelerate Sustainable Green City Development: Case Studies in China
Keywords:
smart buildings, IoT, sustainability, CiteSpace, China, urban city development, carbonAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of Internet of Things (IoT) enabled smart buildings in accelerating sustainable green city development, especially in light of the stated targets by the Chinese government of achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, which are known as dual carbon goals. This paper uses CiteSpace to make a comparative analysis of domestic and foreign literature, and finds that relatively speaking, the application of IoT in China is still in the design and construction stage of buildings, and the later operation management lacks consideration. At the same time, the individual smartness of architecture has not yet been connected to a smart ecosystem. Therefore, this paper further selects three project cases of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games project, Haier Smart Home and Xiongan New Area, corresponding to three scenarios of event venues, residences and entire communities, and puts forward suggestions on the promotion of sustainable urban development by IoT driven smart buildings.
