  Despite research advocating the Internet of Things (IoT) as an effective
in-office monitoring system, little research has presented societal and climate
centric discussions. Whereas the United Nations (UN) and other development
agencies concerned with climate impact, are advocating transformative actions
towards smart cities, very little research in the IoT domain analyzes the
advantages of IoT in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) to fill
this gap. In this study, a smart office (SO) was developed in a Cisco packet
tracer. We then presented the SO through the lens of SDGs. We suggest that SOs
support targets mentioned in Goal 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the SDGs. This
research is crucial - both for developing and developed economies, as we move
toward industrialization, while ignoring the adverse impacts of
industrialization. This work is expected to provide a pathway with
technological innovation toward a more sustainable world for IT practitioners,
governments and development agencies.
