Such advanced information and communication technology (ICT) applications in co mmercial buildings\, schools\, libraries\, shopping centers\, etc. offer l ow cost but highly effective monitoring and control opportunities. Sensors deployed in key locations can monitor the building environment in real-ti me\, collect information for intelligent decision making\, and facilitate various services. An IoT sensor platform has been developed that provides a unified communication platform which can integrate information from disp arate sources and provide one control hierarchy. It is a powerful\, low-co st\, openarchitecture software platform that can monitor and control major electrical loads (e.g.\, HVAC\, lighting and plug loads)\, as well as sol ar PV systems\, energy storage units and other IoT sensors in commercial b uildings. The platform can provide new or legacy buildings with a building automation system (BAS) or connect with existing BAS systems in large and small commercial buildings.

Loring professor of electrical and computer engineering. He also directs the Center for Energy and the Global Environment (www.ceage.vt.edu). He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and an IE EE Millennium Medal winner. He is the president of the IEEE Power and Ener gy Society (PES) for 2018 and 2019. He was the founding editor-in-chief of the IEEE Electrification Magazine and the IEEE Transactions on Sustainabl e Energy. He has published over 130 journal papers and has made over four hundred conference and invited presentations. In 2006 he served on the IEE E Board of Directors as the vice president for publications. He is a disti nguished lecturer for the IEEE Power & Energy Society and has lectured on renewable energy\, energy efficiency\, smart grid\, electric power system operation and planning\, etc. in over 30 countries. He is the founder of B EM Controls\, LLC\, a Virginia (USA)-based software company providing buil ding energy management solutions. He served as the chair of the US Nationa l Science Foundation Advisory Committee for International Science and Engi neering from 2010 to 2013.
