Course Title:
**LoRaWAN in Building Services**
This CPD course provides an introduction to LoRaWAN technology and its application within building services and Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS).
The course explores the evolution of wireless sensing technology and explains how LoRaWAN differs from traditional wireless systems. It introduces the principles of LoRa and LoRaWAN, including network architecture, gateways, network and application servers, end devices and the integration of sensor data into BEMS using established building automation protocols such as BACnet.
Participants will gain an understanding of the benefits and limitations of LoRaWAN for building applications, including range, power consumption, battery life, signal attenuation and sensor deployment. The course also considers network security, including AES-128 encryption and device authentication.
By the end of the course, attendees will have a practical understanding of how LoRaWAN can be used to connect sensors and smart devices within modern building services applications, reducing the requirement for large-scale wiring while making environmental and operational data available to the BEMS.
