Abstract
A method for converting a legacy building into a smart building. The method including calculating a distance between a first connection point and a second connection point; creating a cable having a first length based on the distance between the first connection point and the second connection point; installing a demarcation point; installing a plurality of systems; connecting the demarcation point and a system using the cable, to create a smart building system; connecting the smart building system to a portal; and testing the connection of the smart building system to the portal.
Claims4
A method for converting a legacy building into a smart building, the method comprising:
- calculating a distance between a first connection point and a second connection point;
- creating a cable having a first length based on the distance between the first connection point and the second connection point;
- installing a demarcation point;
- converting a plurality of legacy systems into controllable smart systems, each of the controllable smart systems configured to manipulate legacy system signals into digital signals;
- connecting the demarcation point and at least one of the plurality of legacy systems using the cable, to create a smart building system configured to control the plurality of legacy systems;
- connecting the smart building system to an interactive online portal, the interactive online portal located external to the smart building and configured to configure and control the smart building system;
- and
- testing the connection of the smart building system to the interactive online portal,
- wherein testing the connection includes initiating a call, via one or more computer networks, to the interactive online portal for authentication.
