The Approach page in the “About” section on the domOS website has been updated to showcase its Vision and Approach to offer a more in-depth explanation of its overall methodology towards the smart building sector and its vision.

The Approach page now features two axes that domOS uses to address the smart building sector: technology and smart services.

• In the first axis, technology, guidelines for an open, secure, multi-service Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem for smart buildings are defined: in-building gateways, which connect to local smart devices and the smart appliance of any type, IoT platforms, and applications operated by different parties can be integrated seamlessly. Building owners can enforce privacy rules, they can allow/forbid access to any measurement or control point.
• The second axis deals with the development of smart services. They increase the energy efficiency of space heating (heat pumps, district heating, gas boilers) thanks to innovative control algorithms using smart sensors and smart heating appliances. Automated advice services provide concise and sound information on building energy. Buildings become active nodes of an electricity grid or a District Heating grid.

The vision of the domOS project is that smart service developers, smart service operators, IoT platform operators, and system integrators offer compatible products or services. This, in turn, will start a virtuous circle: more compatible components trigger more customers, leading to cost reduction, which will attract more customers and more compliant components.
