Enterprise Architecture an Approach to the Development of IoT Services Oriented to Building Management

Currently, various sectors including industry, health, academia and others, are facing huge challenges regarding the fast I.T. development, and more broadly, the IoT (Internet of things). The renewable energy sector is not exempt from this new paradigm: for example, an application for monitoring the photovoltaic panel system integrated with a green roof will offer the opportunity to improve resources and energy efficiency. This requires a structured approach to integrate all the elements involved in this context; and although the established technology exists, there is not a methodology to build platforms that integrate hardware and software and can interoperate effectively. Therefore, this document presents a methodology under an enterprise architecture approach, to design and implement an IoT-based service platform for monitoring a photovoltaic system integrated with vegetation. A case study is presented where the developed concept is applied.
