iii. Sustainability Approach towards the lifecycle of the Project The Building Monitoring System provides building owner and facility managers with a fully integrated web-based platform that tracks energy, carbon emissions, and other sustainable data points in real time. This enables them to take action on data insights and make better decisions about their buildings’ future performance through benchmarking capabilities. Sustainability professionals can use the comparative analysis tool to understand how their building is performing year over year and whether it is meeting its goals for cost savings, occupant health, community impact or other indicators of sustainability. This project aims to develop a monitoring system that is capable of identifying specific problems with the physical building, its operation, and the people living and working in it, with respect to sustainable building design. The developed system will be able to provide complete overview of the building and track/monitor various aspects related to energy consumption as well as other sustainability indicators such as indoor environment quality. This tool will enable decision-makers to take better informed decision regarding their building construction or renovation projects. Sustainable architecture is a design principle that seeks to minimise the impact of buildings on the environment for future generations, through the use of energy conservation and renewable resources in the design process and efficient management of day-to-day operations.
