DESCRIPTION:The Case for Wireless LoRaWAN® Sensors for Building Management				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					LoRaWAN Wireless Sensors for Building Management				\n				\n				\n				\n					Benefits\, Cost Savings & Use Cases				\n				\n				\n				\n									For years\, commercial and multitenant residential properties have employed centralized environmental monitoring and management systems. While making it possible to measure characteristics like temperature\, lighting\, and airflow\, these control systems have almost always involved miles of wiring\, which is expensive to install\, repair\, extend and replace. Adding further to the complexity\, much existing wiring uses serial protocols\, which limits distance and features that can be deployed. Buildings owners\, tenants and even governments and regulators are demanding increased capabilities such as presence detection\, leak notification\, air quality and security status. Although wired sensors can provide some of these capabilities\, the cost of adding or retrofitting existing buildings can become prohibitive. In recent years\, wireless sensors for building management and control have been introduced to the market. Specifically\, Bluetooth\, WiFi\, Zigbee and some proprietary products have been available for some time. While each have their advantages\, all suffer from common problems: lack or range\, power requirements\, cost\, and closed systems. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area protocol) offers compelling advantages that are increasingly hard to ignore in modern buildings. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Advantages to LoRaWAN Wireless Sensors Cost savings				\n				\n				\n				\n									Wireless sensors are very inexpensive to purchase\, install and use. Conversely\, wired sensors require conduit\, cabling\, junction boxes\, terminations\, and often licensed electricians to install. Cost can quickly escalate for retrofit projects with the need for ceiling access\, wall penetration\, fire-stopping\, asbestos mitigation\, and patch-and-paint work. Wireless sensors eliminate nearly all of this. A LoRaWAN sensor can be mounted with screws or adhesive and powered by a long-life battery.

A wired sensor rollout can take weeks or months\, especially in occupied buildings where work is disruptive or must be done after hours. LoRaWAN sensors can be installed and commissioned in minutes per device. A single gateway can cover multiple floors or a building\, allowing hundreds of sensors to come online quickly.

LoRaWAN also supports a wide variety of sensor types beyond traditional temperature and humidity\, including occupancy\, leak detection\, differential pressure\, vibration\, door status\, IAQ metrics\, and asset tracking.
