IoT-driven data centre information system as the hub is crucial for addressing the issues related to building energy management. IoT technology-based monitoring mechanisms for the indoor environment of buildings, as well as energy consumption, bring together all energy consumption equipment for making the construction energy-efficient. The mechanism is apt for various prevailing and new constructions. It is the most appropriate system for transferring data in the indoor environment of buildings and monitoring mechanisms for the energy consumption.As a huge amount of data is produced from IoT devices, intelligent hardware and processing devices are needed to interpret and use the data. This requirement is even greater when we are dealing with real-time computations.
