Abstract

Open-source software has helped opening the software market to different players, usually cut off by licenses of expensive software packages. We claim that in the Built Environment a similar open source disruption can happen by putting together different projects in a software architecture based on open data standards. This paper describes the main open-source components of such software architecture, the Smart Building Controller (SBC) that we are developing, and possible future applications.
