This paper addresses the design and implementation of a smart building prototype. The implementation utilizes Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to collect, analyze, and manage data from building systems in a smart city environment. The developed smart building prototype is capable of real-time interactions with the residents. The main objective is to adapt the building settings to the residents needs and provide the maximum comfort level with minimum operational costs. For this purpose, building parameters are collected via the sensors and transferred to a database in real-time, which can be accessed or visualized upon the users need. Environment properties such as temperature, light, humidity, audio, video, surveillance, and access status are managed through a model-based controller. The developed testbed and control scheme are generic and modular. The prototype can also be utilized for testing cyber-physical systems features and challenges.
