Smart buildings employ advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to automate operations, enhance occupant comfort, and optimize energy efficiency, distinguishing them from traditional structures with independent systems. By interconnecting various systems through ICT, smart buildings ensure holistic performance enhancement (1). These structures facilitate meaningful interaction for both operators and occupants, offering visibility into operations and actionable insights. Moreover, their capability to communicate with the power grid is pivotal for effective utility demand response initiatives (1). Although initially prominent in office spaces, the integration of smart technologies is progressively extending to various building types
