Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the rapidly growing number of internet-enabled devices that can communicate with each other and have the ability to transmit and receive data over a network. The IoT is being applied in a diversity of areas to address significant societal challenges. For example, it has been widely acknowledged that cities are responsible for two-thirds of the world's energy and resource consumption, including 70 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions. This is leading to a growing interest in the use of the IoT in improving the sustainability of cities. This has spawned applications in many areas typically associated with so-called intelligent buildings and smart cities. At the building level, it has been used in making buildings more intelligent to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. At the urban level, it has been used to improve the quality of life of city dwellers through measures that promote an eco-friendly or sustainable environment. Perhaps partly because of the nascent nature of the IoT, the exact functioning of these technologies is still very vague and there is only a limited understanding of the benefits as well as challenges associated with IoT. © 2018 selection and editorial matter, Adriana X.
