Summary:[Excerpt] Recent research advances in sensors, wireless communications, network protocols, microelectronics, cloud computing, and machine learning, among others, are driving the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). The proliferation of IoT systems is increasingly pervasive, covering application areas such as smart grids, industrial automation, healthcare, sports/fitness, smart farming, environmental monitoring, smart cities, intelligent transportation systems, logistics, etc. One of the main driving areas of the IoT is in the context of smart buildings and smart homes, where several applications are envisioned, such as: energy consumption reduction; energy management of smart grids, battery storage systems, electric mobility, and renewable energy sources; monitoring and control of indoor environment parameters, such air quality and thermal comfort; and structural health monitoring. In this sense, the IoT system generally comprises, among other components, a network of IoT devices interfacing with sensors and actuators that are remotely configured, monitored and controlled, manually by the users and/or through intelligent automatic algorithms, with the support of cloud computing services. In this editorial, we provide a brief review of the application of the IoT paradigm in different research areas, with the focus on smart home and smart building scenarios. [...]
